DiGiorno Four Cheese Croissant Crust Pizza

Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.

I do not think this is a weird idea. I’m a little surprised it didn’t happen during the cronut craze, but I’m glad it’s here in 2020. (Spotted by @blowyshirts at Target.)

REVIEW: Mtn Dew Frost Bite

/ / Reviews / 3 Comments

Mtn Dew Frost Bite Bottle

What is Mtn Dew Frost Bite?

Given the bottle’s ferocious imagery of an open-mouth great white shark on the label, I was hoping this would be Mtn Dew’s entry into a revolutionary fish-flavored soda game, but, instead, it’s just a “burst of icy refreshment and cool melon.” So, I guess melon.

How is it?

Mtn Dew Frost Bite Closeup

Like most nouveau Mtn Dew flavors, this too has a taste reminiscent of a liquefied Now and Later, which, at least in my opinion, is never a bad thing. And while there is a slight taste of melon — don’t ask me what kind of melon, though — the “blue ice” flavor is extremely prevalent, even if “blue ice” isn’t a flavor found in nature.

But, still, Frost Bite has got a deeply sweet seafaring edge to it that, like the chompers on the non-mountainous mascot, will cut deeply to the bone. Or, given the soda’s oh-so high added sugar content, it might shear the white enamel off with each seriously addictive gulp. If you ever wonder what Powerade Mountain Berry Blast would taste like with a testicular death-grip, look no further.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Available for a limited time, this Mtn Dew flavor is an exclusive flavor to Walmart stores across the country. I bought it instead of toilet paper, mostly because my store was still sold out of it and probably will be for a while.

Conclusion:

Mtn Dew Frost Bite is a downright tawdry yet delicately tasty concoction for landlubbing tongues.

The wrapper’s corner may say “NEW,” but there has been a Hershey’s Cookie ‘N’ Chocolate Bar before. Maybe Hershey forgot? Maybe Hershey thought we’d forget, but it forgot about the internet that remembers EVERYTHING. (Spotted by Rachel C at Walmart.)
