Popchips announced two new flavors at the 35th annual Natural Products Expo West, the world’s largest natural, organic, and healthy products event.

Crazy Hot Potato will be the company’s spiciest product. According to popchips, it’ll be as hot as a habanero pepper with a cheesy note. Cinnamon Twist Sweet Potato will be a vegan sweet potato chip with sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of tangy apple. The chips contain no artificial ingredients, no trans-fat, are gluten-free, kosher and have less than half the fat of fried chips.

Both flavors will be released this summer in 3.5 oz. bags for the suggested retail price of $2.99. Crazy Hot Potato will also be available in 1 oz. bags for $1.49.

I’m just going to leave this here. I have no idea when it will be available. Good idea or gross idea? (Image via cookie0man on Instagram)

I’m just going to leave this photo here. My source tells me they’ll be available in either April or May.

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our Dew Shine review.

In 2012, Mountain Dew introduced Johnson City Gold, an alcohol-sounding, non-alcoholic beverage. It was a malt and citrus soda that was released in a handful of regions across the country, but didn’t see a nationwide rollout.

Now it appears Mountain Dew is set to release another alcohol-sounding, non-alcoholic beverage — Mountain Dew Dew Shine. Also, much like Johnson City Gold, which paid homage to the birthplace of Mountain Dew soda, Dew Shine seems to honor the origins of Mountain Dew’s name. For those of you not familiar with alcohol slang, Mountain Dew was originally slang for moonshine.

According to the label, Dew Shine has a “clear citrus Dew flavor” and is made with real sugar. The label also features Willie the Hillbilly, the original Mountain Dew mascot, and “It’ll Tickle Yore Innards”, the original Mountain Dew slogan. The blog MtnDewKid was fortunate enough to receive samples and has a review of the beverage.

Mountain Dew Dew Shine is expected to be available in late March.

Remember how long it took for the Taco Bell exclusive flavor, Mountain Dew Baja Blast, to make its way into bottles and cans? It took years. Well, the other Taco Bell exclusive flavor, Sangrita Blast, which was introduced in 2013, has ended up in bottles much quicker.

Sangrita Blast, according to the bottle, is a “Dew with a blast of natural and artificial citrus punch flavor.”

The photo above was posted on calipepsi’s Instagram, which is the account for the Sunnyvale Pepsi bottler. According to the photo’s comments, it’ll be released in a couple of months.
