Maybe it’s the first PERMANENT one?

they have limited-edition ones all the time, like around Halloween especially. this joins the regular permanent ones, like Code Red did at one time.

We tried it last week and it reminded me of a Jolly Rancher. It’s nothing special in my opinion and my son who loves Mt. Dew didn’t care for it either.

Mountain Dew is my favorite and watermelon anything is my favorite so I had high expectations for this. It was good. The watermelon crush was definitely better. Wish I could still find that! Feel like this would be fun with some vodka, if you enjoy an occasional adult beverage 😁

This is actually quite good. Very refreshing with a less citrusy “bite” than the normal Mountain Dew. So happy that it is a permanent flavor. I agree with the person onlinementing about the possibility of adding it to an adult beverage. Perfect for summer poolside hydration. Is it still January?!?

Bought a couple of cases of the zero on sale. Happy to see it in a zero version. Overall thought it tasted like a jolly rancher. Would be good if you added vodka.fun flavor. But I wouldnt buy this again unless it was for a special occasion.

My adult son ranks it right behind baja blast which is his absolute favorite. He loves it.
