\"Mountain<\/p>\n

What are Doritos Mountain Dew?<\/h3>\n

Mountain-Dew-flavored Doritos from Australia – the land of megabats, and well, mega everything<\/a>. Now they\u2019re doing America in a big way, rolling an iconic snack combo into one product best enjoyed wearing a sleeveless flannel and cutoff shorts, in a monster truck speeding down a 2-lane road surrounded by wheat fields.<\/p>\n

\"Mountain<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

These were far better than I expected. I figured the citrus would work – there\u2019s already lime-flavored chips in stores that are excellent. The sweetness was the question mark – Mountain Dew is SO sweet – could they pull off the right sweet\/savory combo? <\/p>\n

It ended up working really well because of the lemon-lime, I think. It gives it the tang and mouth-puckering quality that keeps it from being ALL sweet. It also gave it a bit of the sparkle of a carbonated beverage. Not exactly the bubbly sensation, but the light, bright citric acid that\u2019s in nearly every soda. <\/p>\n

These were just as addictive as any chip, but the novelty of the sweet are tart flavors was extra and I loved it. <\/p>\n

\"Mountain<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been told these chips DID exist in the US, back in 2008 as \u201cDoritos Quest<\/a>\u201d mystery flavor. I completely missed those, but I would\u2019ve paid more attention if they were called Doritos Mountain Dew. My head whipped right around this time, but “Doritos Quest” does nothing for me. <\/p>\n

Apparently, there was also Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew<\/a> called DEWitos in 2014 – tested in select colleges in the country. Comment below if you tried it! <\/p>\n

WHY has no one here in the US of A thought to release a combo pack of Doritos Mountain Dew AND Dewitos? COME ON, AMERICA! Let\u2019s get our heads in the junk food game here!<\/p>\n

\"Mountain<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Try them! They\u2019re fun, they\u2019re weird, they taste good, and they\u2019re AMERICA. Frito-Lay, we need these in every store here in the US!<\/p>\n
