Snack Review: Mountain Dew Voltage

Okay, so I’m probably one of the only people on the planet that hasn’t tried Mountain Dew, which is why I decided to try out Mountain Dew Voltage. Makes sense, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

However, I was fascinated by how they marketed this product. The company decided to make three new flavors of Mountain Dew, but wanted the public to pick which one they liked the best. And yes, you got it, Mountain Dew Voltage won this DEWmocracy.

Mountain Dew Voltage is “a blue colored raspberry-citrus and ginseng flavored Dew.” Does any word in this description sound appetizing to me? If I had to pick the words I like, they would be “a” and “blue”. Having never consumed even a regular Mountain Dew before, I would not at all buy this based on that description. Something about raspberry-citrus and ginseng flavor doesn’t sound too good. Now, if they had a “mint chocolate and peanut butter flavored Dew” I might do it.

So I didn’t think it’d be fair to try Mountain Dew Voltage without trying the original Mountain Dew. As for my thoughts on Mountain Dew original? I think it has a sweet citrusy taste to it, however, it wasn’t as fizzy as I thought it would be. Being an avid dieter, I could almost taste the sugar sticking to my teeth.

Snack Review: Gatorade Peanut Butter Nutrition Bar

I’m a person who’s always on a diet. Well, I try to be on one. That’s why I have no problem always eating these diet bars that people claim taste so bad. For me, I’ve been eating them for so long that they taste pretty good.

I’m not really big into energy bars, because I’ve seen some of them and can’t understand why anyone would put that in their stomach, but then again, people probably think the same of me when I eat a diet bar.
