Some of you might be saying that one person can&#8217;t make a difference, but I&#8217;m here to tell you that one person can, but if you recruit more people, it&#8217;s a whole lot easier and if you&#8217;re sneaky enough, you might not need to do anything at all and make all those people you recruited do all the work.  But if you don&#8217;t want to go through that trouble, you can make a difference by voting&#8230;for a sugary, carbonated, and caffeinated beverage.  <\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Dewmocracy.<\/p>\n<p>Mountain Dew is letting the people decide the new Dew among three flavors:  SuperNova, Revolution, and Voltage.  Of course, this is slightly retarded since all three flavors are being produced and sold in stores, so technically they are ALL already new.  Someone might say that Dewmocracy is about choosing the new permanent Dew flavor, and I would say to them that, it maybe permanent, but technically the winner won&#8217;t be new.<\/p>\n<p>The Dewmocracy website, where you can vote for your favorite flavor, keeps track of the votes throughout the United States by state.  The whole thing reminds me of all the CNN news coverage and graphics on Election Night, except without Wolf Blitzer&#8217;s beard to scare me.  Just like American Idol, I&#8217;m sure more people will vote in this election than the upcoming U.S. presidential election.  Some people might say that elections like these are teaching children the importance of voting.  I say nay to those people, for I believe that the elections for Dewmocracy and American Idol teach the importance of voting&#8230;for things that don&#8217;t fucking matter. <\/p>\n<p>I felt Revolution was the worst, SuperNova was the best, and Voltage was the nerd with the hairy chest.  Looking at the Dewmocracy website, my vote for Mountain Dew SuperNova has helped it gain 3% of the vote in my state of Hawaii, which means I am supporting the Ralph Nader of Mountain Dew.  <\/p>\n<p>None of the Dewmocracy flavors were repulsive and each of them were sweeter than all the Care Bears holding hands while skipping across a rainbow and singing &#8220;Joy to the World.&#8221;  I enjoyed SuperNova the most because of its unusual strawberry melon flavor, which gave it a nice fruity taste, almost girly-alcohol-drink-ish.  It also tasted like a strawberry lemonade, which is weird since it doesn&#8217;t have any citrus flavor.  Voltage&#8217;s raspberry-citrus flavor was good and I thought if Mountain Dew were to make another blue-colored Dew (Taco Bell exclusive Baja Blast was the first blue Dew), this flavor should be it.  Finally, the wild berry flavor of Mountain Dew Revolution was decent, but personally wild berries aren&#8217;t my thing, because they&#8217;re too wild for me.<\/p>\n<p>But my voice is just one and many of you probably disagree with me, so if you want to participate and get an unhealthy amount of high fructose corn syrup, try all three flavors, and vote at the Dewmocracy.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bottle &#8211; 290 calories, 0 grams of fat, 105 milligrams of sodium, 76 grams of carbs, 76 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 91 milligrams of caffeine, and 10 grams of Dewmocracy.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Mountain Dew Dewmocracy Flavors (SuperNova, Revolution, and Voltage)<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $1.25 each (20 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  7-Eleven<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (SuperNova)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10 (Revolution)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10 (Voltage)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  SuperNova had a nice fruity flavor.
