I got some mountain dew from American Soda. They advertise it on the site as Mountain Dew Energy- it was just the bog standard English stuff when it arrived.

Was less than happy to say the least!!

Uhh.... it says quite plainly its Mountain Dew energy. What were you expecting? Their not allowed to sell American Mountain Dew. Theres some stupid legeslation put out by Pepsi to stop companies selling any Mountain Dew product called "MTN Dew" over here. Thats why they recently had to stop selling the Code Red stuff, cause it got rebranded to MTN Dew as well. They still sell Mountain Dew Throwback and Voltage though.

I got myself a new order from American Soda today. No cans for a change, but I got some grape Kool-Aid :)[/QUOTE]

I was expecting American mountain dew from a company called American Soda on their 'sodas' page that is full of other American drinks. It doesn't say that it is the British stuff anywhere other than in the name 'Mountain Dew Energy'- it's very misleading and pretty devious I think.

I don't like the throwback, I want my high fructose corn syrup fix!!!

I admit its pretty strange they sell the stuff when its so freely available in the UK. I dont think the energy one is even sold in America. Its just some **** version they made for the UK market.

I've never tried the throwback, so no idea how it compares to the classic US Dew, which I've tried that in a Tony Romas resteraunt. The Code Red was really nice, shame they cant sell it anymore.

Throwback is ok- it isn't as sweet as the regular stuff. Same as Pepsi throwback.

English Mountain Dew is just rubbish, doesn't even taste close to the real thing...
