<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The whole \u201ctranslucent soda\u201d thing isn\u2019t exactly the freshest idea. Nor is it exactly a novel turn for the Mountain Dew brand, which already<\/em> went clear in 2015 with the limited time only DEWShine. Which, by the way, is still<\/em> being sold in convenience stores down here in Atlanta, despite the product allegedly<\/em> being discontinued over a year ago.<\/p>\n Alas, this newfangled Mtn Dew Ice isn\u2019t exactly<\/em> the same old same old. It\u2019s an all-new Mountain Dew variation that boasts of a lemon-lime flavor and (direct quote, right off the label) \u201ca splash of real juice.\u201d Or, as the ingredients list puts it, \u201cclarified lemon juice concentrate,\u201d which I suppose<\/em> is accurate enough to keep the F.D.A. off their heels.<\/p>\n So obviously, Mtn Dew Ice is an attempt to cut into Sprite\u2019s customer base (apparently, Mist Twist hasn\u2019t been up to the task). And at first taste, I\u2019m not sure how<\/em> to describe the product. After a couple of preliminary swigs, I reckoned the stuff tasted like regular Dew, albeit a little thinner and slightly less sugary. By the time I got halfway through the bottle, though, I started to pick up that advertised \u201clemon-lime flavor\u201d – which, yes, is pretty much a dead ringer for the aforementioned Mist Twist.<\/p>\n What we\u2019ve ended up with is a beverage with a serious<\/em> identity crisis. It\u2019s probably a bit of a stretch to say Mtn Dew Ice is basically the merger of Mountain Dew with Mist Twist, but it\u2019s still close enough to get the gustatory point across. Instead of giving us a more Sprite-like Mountain Dew variation, Pepsi has bestowed upon us a beverage that tastes like it\u2019s a 50\/50 split between the two.<\/p>\n Even weirder, it\u2019s like the two dueling tastes refuse to gel with one another. Sometimes when I take a sip, there’s a more pronounced Mountain Dew vibe and with others I swear I took a gulp of Sprite.<\/p>\n There\u2019s been some caustic feedback about the product\u2019s artificial sweeteners, but to be honest I didn\u2019t notice anything out of the norm. While, again, it does<\/em> taste slightly less sweet than normal Mountain Dew, it’s significantly sweeter than Sprite. So if that\u2019s a turnoff for you, don\u2019t say you weren\u2019t warned.<\/p>\n Aesthetically, there isn\u2019t much to look at – you know, because the soda itself is the same color as Crystal Pepsi, Tab Clear, and any<\/em> of the Zevia cola offerings. The packaging isn\u2019t all that impressive either – a light green palette with a few swatches of black and yellow here and there. But the canned iteration of the drink looks a bit snazzier.<\/p>\n While fairly predictable (if not flat-out boring) in taste and presentation, Mtn Dew Ice is a good (but not great) soft drink. Outside of the whole \u201cit\u2019s a caffeinated version of Sprite\u201d hook, I\u2019m afraid there isn\u2019t much worth going out of your way to experience here.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 20 ounces – 160 calories, 0 grams of total fat, 90 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of total carbohydrates, 41 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $1.49 The whole \u201ctranslucent soda\u201d thing isn\u2019t exactly the freshest idea.

\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> It\u2019s a decent citrus-flavored cola with an all right caffeine kick. The hybrid Mountain Dew\/Mist Twist taste is definitely intriguing. I guess it won\u2019t stain the carpet as badly if you spill it?
\nCons:<\/b> The competing flavors never really come together all that harmoniously. The packaging is lame. Wondering if Pepsi meant for it to subconsciously remind consumers of Smirnoff Ice or if it\u2019s just me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
