Mountain Dew Dew
As most of you know by now, Mountain Dew has released three new flavors in hopes that one will reign supreme. It's a good idea, but a better idea would have been to just fucking re-release Pitch Black FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!
*ahem*
They all have "extreme" names and are loaded with a bunch of herbal bullshit to trick you into thinking you're putting more than liquid sugar crack into your system. Revolution smells just like carbonated Berry Blue Kool-Aid and pretty much tastes just like what you'd imagine a soda rendition of Berry Blue Kool-Aid to be. It's even a little reminiscent of Berried Alive, the blue Jones Soda Halloween flavor though it claims to be Wild Berry with Ginseng. Voltage is a darker shade of blue than Revolution and it's the soda version of Ice Blue Kool-Aid. It's Raspberry Citrus flavored and easily reminds me of licking the blue portion of a bomb pop. I have to love SuperNova because of the color (the picture doesn't convey how wonderfully pink/purple it is), and the flavor isn't nearly as bad as I was thinking. I'm usually not one for melon flavors in my beverages, but this one wasn't entirely like drinking a watermelon Jolly Rancher. It tastes like a mix of strawberry and watermelon Pop Rocks.
For my vote, I'd have to go with Voltage, but I don't think the name should stay -- it's way too close to Vault. I love to drink anything the same color as glass cleaner, that's why I left the liquor store with a huge bottle of Bacardi Zombie the other week
Not much of a Dew fan outside of the aforementioned Pitch Black and Code Red. I heard about the whole "Dewmocracy" to vote. Why no vote for Pitch Black? Hell by this point Photog could suck and Bitner could be the next Hitler but I want this stuff we can't get anymore!
Oh yeah, lastly, really fun thing to do: go to the grocery store, snag a clean spray bottle used for cleaning (lines on the side and all). Fill with blue Mountain Dew. Place on desk, pretend to be wiping screen with paper towel as the come near. Then, spritz in mouth with tasty Dew. Ahh the hilarity.

Odd how much the one on the left resembles the Baja Blast Dew. It would be nice to make that available outside of Taco Ding Dong. Because sometimes a gal just wants a limey soda without the aftershocks of the chalupa that came with it.

I also liked Voltage the best. In fact, I consider it one of the best flavors of soda in a long time, even though it tasted more like a raspberry 7-Up.
Revolution was ok, and is pretty much how you described it.
Supernova kinda tasted like Pitch Black II, only with a melon flavor instead of grape. Pretty good.

Christy that's awesome you referenced Baja Blast cause I immediately thought the same exact thing..which makes my pick the revolution flavor...even though they all pretty much suck. Let's face it...the original, pitch black, and baja blast are the best. Code Red comes in 4th place.
