So the season is also when we see watermelon-flavored products hit the shelves and then disappear when it gets cold. But I don&#8217;t restrict the showing of my legs to just the summer months, so the same should be said for watermelon-flavored products. <\/p>\n<p>But some brands have moved away from summer releases. Last year, we saw Red Bull Watermelon in February and Monster Ultra Watermelon in September. So here we are in winter, and there&#8217;s a new, season-be-damned watermelon-flavored beverage &#8212; Mtn Dew Major Melon. It&#8217;s a permanent variety, so it&#8217;ll be available year-round, like the viewing of my legs.<\/p>\n<p>Its aroma evokes memories of sitting under the hot sun, sweat rolling down every inch of my body, wondering if I should reapply sunscreen, and taking a whiff of a previous Dew flavor that smells just like Major Melon. I can&#8217;t quite put my nose on which of the gazillion Dew varieties it is, though.<\/p>\n<p>However, while it smells similar to another, its flavor is definitely a different Dew, and it&#8217;s fabulous. My tongue notices the citrus first, and then the watermelon follows soon after. It&#8217;s pleasantly sweet, but, and this might just be me, it&#8217;s not as cloying as other Dew varieties. There aren&#8217;t any artificial sweeteners in it, only HFCS, so I&#8217;m not sure why it tastes that way to me. The soda also has a mild tartness, so don&#8217;t think of it having a bold sour watermelon taste.<\/p>\n<p>My first sip of Major Melon was like the initial swigs I had of Mountain Dew Code Red and Maui Burst, which left me thinking, &#8220;I&#8217;m definitely going to overDEW it with this Dew.&#8221; Although, if I&#8217;m ranking flavors, this would be slightly below Code Red and Maui Burst.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mtn-Dew-Major-Melon-and-Zero-Sugar-Cans.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mtn Dew Major Melon and Zero Sugar Cans\" title=\"Mtn Dew Major Melon and Zero Sugar Cans.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Major Melon is also available in a Zero Sugar version, but I&#8217;m less enamored with it. It&#8217;s okay, but its watermelon flavor mixed with the artificial sweeteners makes it taste a bit floral. The sugar-free soda&#8217;s flavor also reminds me of non-carbonated, sugar-free watermelon beverages I&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the HFCS-sweetened version of Mtn Dew Major Melon is a major success, but not so much with the Zero Sugar one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> More than one should pay on eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 20 oz bottle and 12 oz cans<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10 (Regular), 6 out of 10 (Zero Sugar)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (12 ounces) <strong>Major Melon<\/strong> &#8211; 160 calories, 0 grams of fat, 50 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 44 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein. <strong>Zero Sugar<\/strong> &#8211; 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 50 milligrams of sodium, 0 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watermelon is known as a summer fruit because it grows best when the weather is warm.
