The fact that people still drink that crap after learning what's in it is what's wrong with the world (mainly America). Also HFCS absolutely IS worse than cane sugar... not sure where Joe is getting his facts from if he sees this.
Just a ad for mountain dew, Team who makes these videos had plenty of choices to go for but instead opted for this...Makes me think its not the "most popular" they test but anyone who offers some form of monetisation
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned. In Australia, Mountain Dew was released as "Mountain Dew" but had no caffeine in it. Later on "Mountain Dew Energise" was released which was essentially normal US Mountain Dew, caffeine included. They then phased out the originaly released "Mountain Dew" so now all that's available is "Mountain Dew Energise" which is... standard caffeinated Mountain Dew
If I recall, there was a flavor of Mountain Dew in the states called Pitch Black *I think it was some kind of grape flavored soda* But it had been discontinued in stores. However, depending on what state you live in, mainly in the southeast, it can be found as a fountain drink at select gas stations, such as Speedway. I have no idea if it’s still around, but I had seen it in Speedway gas stations several years ago.
Lmao, I don’t even think that the 24-pack of 12 ounce cans is the largest size for Mountain Dew, cause I bought a 36-pack of 12 ounce Mountain Dew cans for a party last week 😂😂😂
I had a mountaindew in Turkey once and it absolutely blew the socks off what you get in the UK. I don't recommend drinking it right before getting into a confined space like a taxi or plane!
It’s popular in the southern US due to it being created as a mixer for whiskey/moonshine. Giving it the name Mountain Dew which was another term people used to call, you guessed it, Moonshine.
@@unitedfordc2706 I don’t know anyone that hates voltage and voltage is my favorite Mountain Dew flavor that flavor was the reason why I drank Mountain Dew in the first place
For Mountain Dew in Australia we have a 375ml, 600ml (with sugar and no sugar), 1.25L, and a 2L and a x30 pack of 375ml cans and also the Soda Stream Moubtain Dew syrup.
It was almost like the Wendy's UK-US episode when Joe had that amount of exclusives to come through. I don't think I've ever tried UK-spec Mountain Dew and clearly didn't appreciate that in the US it looks to be such a huge deal, like Coke-Pepsi huge by itself
I find that uk mtn dew has more of a sherbet sort of flavour. US mountain dew has a much stronger lime taste to it. Funny because uk mountain dew ends up tasting less natural than the us mtn dew
Lol. What if I told you that Pepsi bought MTN DEW long ago. Almost everything is owned by Coke though, but keeps original name, or gets new re-branding.
Always felt like mountain dew has never really been a big thing here in the UK, which is strange because it seems to be one of the most popular/well known sodas in the US. I’ve always liked it, but never consistently bought it as it feels like I can feel my teeth rotting away when I do drink it…
it’s not that’s it’s one of the most popular in the US per se, as we regularly joke about how it can dissolve rats and will kill your testosterone in large quantities etc lol, and is only offered at specific restaurants etc, it’s more just historically very famous as it’s tied to moon shining culture in the USA. It’s where it gets the name “mountain dew” it was originally made as a mixer for moon shine but eventually they started selling it on its own as a soda. A lot of famous American things have their basis in moonshining culture, like Nascar for example. That and whenever call of duty would come out Activision would give out bonuses like XP buffs etc in mountain dew caps and in doritos, both of which are owned by pepsico somewhere in the line if i’m not mistaken. So it has a cultural place here but it seldom someone’s like main go to soda as even for soda it’s quite bad for you and just isn’t sold at most fast food places. Like if i’m not mistaken only Taco Bell here has mtn dew. But that also all depends a lot on where in the USA you live etc
@David Montgomery I never said it wasn't popular at all, but it is no coke or pepsi. Even at most places where pepsi products are sold, mountain dew is not usually available, who is the owner of mountain dew. Also, certain mountain dew flavors are definitely worse for you than other sodas, especially code red. Code red has quite a bit of red40 in it, which is a petroleum product and is incredibly carcinogenic lol.
It’s popular in many countries and it tastes a lot different to the ones in UK in UK its tastes like shit maybe due to sugar laws or what not the product is very different
Standard green mountain dew to me is like really gross in the US. I do not like it at all. The flavored stuff is better but the regular variant? No thanks, code red please.
I remember in the 90s when Mountain Dew got banned in the UK because it had too much caffine too. It came back in around the late 2000s marketed as Mountain Dew Energy. I remember still having to go to Chinatown to buy the "ïllegal" imported version around 2007 and then seeing it back in the supermarkets as an energy drink year or two later. They must've reformulated it in the mid-late 2010s (guessing this because I've never seen the new formula name "Citrus Blast" and I left the UK in 2013).
Actually, in the US you can also buy 1 liter bottles of regular Mtn Dew at supermarkets & some convenience stores. There’s so many other limited time flavors that come out, it would be hard to include everything in a video. And we can’t forget the exclusive flavors for grocery stores (Food Lion has “Roar”) and restaurants like Taco Bell, Bojangles & KFC.
I feel like Joe is going to dream Mtn Dew for a few days in a row... all that yellow 5 and a Baja Blast nearby to make each night sweeter than licorice
similar to what was said about america and “sandwich shop” prices, it’s common in the uk too. for example, i can buy a 500ml bottle of coca cola for like £1.55, whereas i can buy a 1.75l bottle for £2.15. so for an extra 60p i can get 1.25l more. or, to buy 1.75l in 500ml bottles, it would cost £5.43. hence why i buy big bottles and just refill smaller ones
it's ridiculous how it's cheaper (£/volume) to buy a 2l bottle of brand pop over a 500ml. I'll buy a Mtn Dew now and then but usually in a meal deal in Tesco/Sainsbury
Harry was just extrodinarily bored while I fear for the health and sustainability of Joe xD Hope he's doing fine after the absolute recalibration of his internal organs by never-ending flavors of Mountain Dew
Y’all realise 8.52L is not the same as 67.63 Fl Oz. 67.63 Fl Oz is the 2L one. Of which, you accidentally said it was 1 Litre in Fl Oz. (Which appears at 0:43, 1:22 and 2:04)
After this many episodes, Harry and Joe should make lists of everything they wanted to try, and take trips to the opposite place! I’d love to see some episodes of Joe and Harry in the same room, sharing snacks and food and talking face to face about them. Make it happen Insider! Pls!
The UK version was always massively high in caffeine. I think the US version only had as much in a special edition. No idea if ours still has high caffeine.
There’s way more US exclusives. Mt Dew has started a trend within the last 2 years of giving a bunch of stores and restaurants their own exclusive flavors. Often they’re available exclusively as fountain drinks. Also you didn’t get Baja Blast or Livewire.
There's like one or two months out of the year where they package & sell Baja Blast in stores outside of a Taco Bell fountain. People will fill a shopping cart up with it.
He is missing 3 sizes for the U.S. the 24oz bottle, the 18 pack of 12oz cans, and the 36 pack of 12oz cans. There also used to be a 3 liter bottle as well but I haven't seen one in years.
Man! This just reminded me of the flavor Mountain Dew had released a while back. I believe it was called Mountain Dew Black Label. MAN! That drink was the absolute bomb. So sad to see it not being showcased in the video because it's discontinued.
Ayeeeee Harry's Back it's been over a month since we seen him I miss him so much 🥰 and man look at all that mountain dew too much sugar 😂 Also J Man you nailed on this one 😉
0:40 missing the under 20 oz you can only get at a dollar tree, looks similar to a 20 oz but isn't, missing the 24 oz bottle, and the 1 liter bottle, and 1.25 liter bottle
Yeah this dude is an anomaly lol I love the spark flavor. He also didn't try the Goji citrus strawberry which is my favorite Mountain Dew flavor ever. It's only available in fountain drink form in convenience stores but god damn I wish they made it a permanent flavor.
As some one who has been drinking mountain dew on and off for far too long I loved this video. Was a bit surprised they didn't go looking for mountain dew throw back, now that stuff will have you bouncing off the walls.
It tastes pretty good from a brits perspective because well we ain't all that used to the taste of illegal chems that the us dew has so the British one tastes nice to us but your experience may vary
Funny enough the 24 pack isn't the largest here in america. I believe at Costco or Sam's club they sell 36 packs of mountain dew. I only know this bc my mom has been drinking almost exclusively diet mountain dew for as long as I can remember.
There's still way more US exclusives, some just aren't in stock now and some are seasonal. I'm know some are discontinued but I've seen all of these in the last 12 months: Livewire, whiteout, pitch black, major melon 0, spark 0, real sugar, energy berry blast, baja blast, baja blast 0, baja flash, baja punch, frostbite 0, voodew. Theres also a half liter 12 pk and 1.25L bottle
@@brandongarsh3474 wow keyboard warrior I’m sorry I don’t chug a 1.25 liter of mtn dew a day like you next time I will be sure to remember that extra .25 of a leader.
@@DBL0TILIDIE wow you got it correct that i drink it every day and i only know it is a 1.25 is because i was trying to find out what is more cost efficient to buy when comparing a 1.25L from the dollar store or a 2L from luckys
Code Red is absolutely amazing!! I live in New Zealand and ours is a berry variation as opposed to cherry. It tastes horrible. I have to buy genuine code red off US importers at huge markups.
that shit is terrible for you. It’s like straight red40 which is a known carcinogen lmao. Like fr if you drink it a lot you may wanna cut back as red40 confirmed can cause cancer lol. obviously no soda is good for you, but red40 in particular we have known is bad for decades but since it’s a petroleum product the lobby to keep it legal is too strong
I remember going to London back in 2014. I was in a pub on the first day that I got there. They had Pepsi logo on the bar so I asked for a mt. Dew. The two bartender had no clue what it was. They looked at me like I was talking gibberish or something.
I suppose it can't be helped as there are so many options, but you guys missed the Taco Bell Exclusive Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the most elusive of flavors, Throwback Mountain Dew. Made with what is likely the closest approximation the original formula. It uses actual orange juice and real sugar.
And the Peach one we have in fountains at Bojangles in the south. Texas has one with goji berries in it. We have Kiwi flavored in NC as of a few weeks ago.
"Made With REAL Sugar" is a marketing gimmick for whole foods moms and high school dropouts. Sugar is sugar across the planet regardless of the source.
I’m actively curious as to where Joe got those references that he was making when drinking the American Mountain Dew, especially with the orange breeze energy and the gaming game fuel original and all that sort of stuff.
As a Dutchie I LOOOOVE mountain dew!! I have tried it looooong before it was introduced over here in the Netherlands. When I made a trip to the states this was my fav ❤️ love the red version as well ✌🏻
Waiting to see if they were going to mention why certain mountain dew products were banned in the EU(and possibly due to timing therefore in the UK as well). The reason among other things mentioned in the video, but strangely skipped (possibly due to comparing original mountain dew's ingredients and not the varieties): the use of bromine. Which is why you don't get any varieties over here anymore (code red, whiteout and voltage were introduced and thereafter banned, of which if any only code red has made a comeback).
We had Gamer Fuel Mountain Dew in UK for a short time that was a Halo 4 promotion about a decade ago, could only find it in a few places though. I also remember being able to get a 440ml can of standard Mountain Dew from B&M's around the same time.
There was Gamer Fuel for like Halo 4 back in 2012, but that one was more like Voltage (Raspberry-Citrus) than the US Gamer Fuel which was more like Code Red (Cherry-Citrus).
I'd love to see you guys compare east african Coca-Cola and fanta orange ( specifically from tanzania and kenya) to British equivalents. I've always said that their is a major difference specifically with the consistency of coke and the taste of fanta orange
7:44 “ i feel like I could fight god” . Oh lord I could not stop my self from laughing, I laughed even harder when the words “ oh hell yeah brother, that gods fighting juice he got there” popped in my mind.
@@jessicaroth7439 it’s actually rarely cheaper at sams or Costco on a per can basis since soda is often a loss leader at grocery stores it’s very often on sale
@@mitpatterson it used to he cheaper majority of the time. It is no longer so. Now costco is always more expensive than the store. But even with the store sales costco isn't much more expensive.
I went to the UK like 5 years ago and fell I love with their Mountain Dew( I am from the USA) and found our throwback Mountain Dew taste almost the same or is the same as the UK regular version. 😍
@@NintyGuy999 I only tried the American ones at like age 14-15 and looking back it was quite similar. I do miss the raspberry one we had though it was diff to any drink we had at the time and the original was it’s own flavour as well. Hopefully they expand :/
7 portion sizes in the US. We also have a 1 liter Can't forget all the restaurant and gas station exclusives as well as the seasonal mystery flavor, voodoo which has a few iterations. You're also missing live wire and citrus cherry which are common (in my area at least)
In Ireland you can't even get regular mtn dew anymore ever since a sugar tax came in almost all the stores here scrapped it as far as my knowledge goes there is only 2 stores in the island that sell it Link and Reynolds both in Dublin City centre
And they just released Mountain Dew: FLAMING HOT! which has an after burn on your throat after swallowing the drink. It's the most bizarre thing I've tried lol
The US also has times when it sells 36 packs on pepsi products including mountain dew. The 36 pack also come in split packs where you can get 18 pepsi and 18 mountain dew cans
I remember it coming out here when I was a kid and drank worrying amounts of it. It did make family events more palatable (they usually took place in Methodist churches so they were even less fun).
We did have the zero sugar version in the UK a few months ago. I've had it. I've also bought smaller bottles of, I think about 350ml before? Haven't looked in a while, so not sure if we still have them currently. Don't think I've ever seen a diet bottle, though.
I'd have to say that MTN Dew Livewire, (which wasn't featured in this video), is quite possibly my most favorite! It's the orange one that usually tends to come out ever summer in the US.
I think that energy drink one used to be Amp- my high school was wired up for 2 or 3 years from selling Amp and SoBe NoFears like crazy before they stopped selling them.. It was a lot less chaotic after that.
8:15 Kickstart more specifically The yellow one, or Pineapple Orange Mango (With coconut water) Is a really good hangover cure when you wake up. Unfortunately it's hard to find in stores now.
Ah yes the drink where I learnt high caffeine isn't for me. But the cirtrus taste was needed on a hot day. At least I learnt my caffeine sensitivity level for a theory thing I was interested in. Wish we had like a zero sugar here if my BP drops badly. But God the colour is so scary of the other flavours. EDIT: Found sugar free version in Subway. Definitely need it though only half a bottle a day for my hearts sake. Edit 2: I felt high after a half bottle and definitely don't want to know what a full 500 would do to me.
You guys launching this video when we are a week away from Eid when I can actually drink some Mountain Dew is amazing but endurance-testing or should i say... endewrance testing 😏 Edit: Eid Mubarak everybody

If I recall, there was a flavor of Mountain Dew in the states called Pitch Black *I think it was some kind of grape flavored soda* But it had been discontinued in stores. However, depending on what state you live in, mainly in the southeast, it can be found as a fountain drink at select gas stations, such as Speedway. I have no idea if it’s still around, but I had seen it in Speedway gas stations several years ago.
I remember that black can from the Halloween seasons. There was also the MNT Dew Dark Knight from the promotion of The Dark Knight Rises
Pitch black is the best mtn dew of all time
@@TitanWar93 the dark can from the Halloween seasons you are referring to is voodoo
Pitch Black also came to Canada for a bit. I really enjoyed it since grape soda is a personal favourite along with Baja Blast.
That one was my all time favorite 💙💙
Lmao, I don’t even think that the 24-pack of 12 ounce cans is the largest size for Mountain Dew, cause I bought a 36-pack of 12 ounce Mountain Dew cans for a party last week 😂😂😂

I was about to say that just now that I have a 36 pack of mountain dew in my room right now
I know Costco sells a 36pack and a 3liter.
Yep, especially with a big family like mine, a 36-pack was a must. Don’t drink it as much now, though, but I still love the drink.
USA also 1 liter (the one with the huge diameter lid). The also have a 36 pack of 12 ounce cans, just the bigger brother of what you have.

I actually collect Mountain Dew (US) and I never even knew the UK version was different! Now I’m tempted to get some imported here to try it…
it sucks ass just mix mtn dew with water and it'll be the same
It tastes pretty good from a brits perspective because well we ain't all that used to the taste of illegal chems that the us dew has so the British one tastes nice to us but your experience may vary
@@markopolo1271you guys eat beans on toast TF 😂😂
@@JoeKing837 well beans don't contain several known carcinogens my guy
@JoeKing837 which was introduced by Americans
Funny enough the 24 pack isn't the largest here in america. I believe at Costco or Sam's club they sell 36 packs of mountain dew. I only know this bc my mom has been drinking almost exclusively diet mountain dew for as long as I can remember.
There's still way more US exclusives, some just aren't in stock now and some are seasonal. I'm know some are discontinued but I've seen all of these in the last 12 months:
Livewire, whiteout, pitch black, major melon 0, spark 0, real sugar, energy berry blast, baja blast, baja blast 0, baja flash, baja punch, frostbite 0, voodew. Theres also a half liter 12 pk and 1.25L bottle
i buy the cans in 36 cans in a pack at sams
Can't forget flavors like flamin' hot, gingerbread snap, riddler's brew, liberty brew, ect.
Love Baja Blast, Whiteout and Voodew
Mountain Dew also sometimes comes in 24 oz bottle as well as a 1 liter bottle though it's rare it seems lately to find those sizes.
I see the 1 liter everywhere arround here lol
@@DBL0TILIDIE its a 1.25 liter
@@brandongarsh3474 wow keyboard warrior I’m sorry I don’t chug a 1.25 liter of mtn dew a day like you next time I will be sure to remember that extra .25 of a leader.
@@DBL0TILIDIE wow you got it correct that i drink it every day and i only know it is a 1.25 is because i was trying to find out what is more cost efficient to buy when comparing a 1.25L from the dollar store or a 2L from luckys
Code Red is absolutely amazing!! I live in New Zealand and ours is a berry variation as opposed to cherry. It tastes horrible. I have to buy genuine code red off US importers at huge markups.
that shit is terrible for you. It’s like straight red40 which is a known carcinogen lmao. Like fr if you drink it a lot you may wanna cut back as red40 confirmed can cause cancer lol. obviously no soda is good for you, but red40 in particular we have known is bad for decades but since it’s a petroleum product the lobby to keep it legal is too strong
What's crazy is I was at the store yesterday and a 12 pack of soda is $7 now in Wisconsin
If I was rich I would put a mt dew fountain at my desk 😂
I remember going to London back in 2014. I was in a pub on the first day that I got there. They had Pepsi logo on the bar so I asked for a mt. Dew. The two bartender had no clue what it was. They looked at me like I was talking gibberish or something.
I suppose it can't be helped as there are so many options, but you guys missed the Taco Bell Exclusive Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the most elusive of flavors, Throwback Mountain Dew. Made with what is likely the closest approximation the original formula. It uses actual orange juice and real sugar.
They also missed Livewire
And the Peach one we have in fountains at Bojangles in the south. Texas has one with goji berries in it. We have Kiwi flavored in NC as of a few weeks ago.
@@MitsurugiW there's also the Sweet Lighting at KFC
"Made With REAL Sugar" is a marketing gimmick for whole foods moms and high school dropouts. Sugar is sugar across the planet regardless of the source.
@@JeffVanRooy I'll tell you what. It certainly tastes different and has a different mouth feel. There's clearly some kind of difference.
There's also a 24 oz in US and the prices can vary state to state via local sugar taxes
there’s also a 1.25 liter bottles as well
Sad to not see Livewire and Overdrive. Overdrive I know for sure is not in the UK.
I’m actively curious as to where Joe got those references that he was making when drinking the American Mountain Dew, especially with the orange breeze energy and the gaming game fuel original and all that sort of stuff.
As a Dutchie I LOOOOVE mountain dew!! I have tried it looooong before it was introduced over here in the Netherlands. When I made a trip to the states this was my fav ❤️ love the red version as well ✌🏻
Code red is the best.
And here I thought there was only one variety of Mountain Dew!
Waiting to see if they were going to mention why certain mountain dew products were banned in the EU(and possibly due to timing therefore in the UK as well). The reason among other things mentioned in the video, but strangely skipped (possibly due to comparing original mountain dew's ingredients and not the varieties): the use of bromine. Which is why you don't get any varieties over here anymore (code red, whiteout and voltage were introduced and thereafter banned, of which if any only code red has made a comeback).
actually, atleast in the south, they sell a 36pack of cans
They missed the American 1L, 1.25L, 1.5L, 30pack, and 36 pack.
The editing and memes in this are pure millennial gold and I'm all here for it.
Would love to see you guys compare energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull etc
We had Gamer Fuel Mountain Dew in UK for a short time that was a Halo 4 promotion about a decade ago, could only find it in a few places though. I also remember being able to get a 440ml can of standard Mountain Dew from B&M's around the same time.
We had a red Raspberry flavour but not code red 😢
There was Gamer Fuel for like Halo 4 back in 2012, but that one was more like Voltage (Raspberry-Citrus) than the US Gamer Fuel which was more like Code Red (Cherry-Citrus).
@@DickieCheezits Ah right, yeah that was the one! Thanks for the correction, I'll adjust my comment accordingly.
I'd love to see you guys compare east african Coca-Cola and fanta orange ( specifically from tanzania and kenya) to British equivalents. I've always said that their is a major difference specifically with the consistency of coke and the taste of fanta orange
7:44 “ i feel like I could fight god” . Oh lord I could not stop my self from laughing, I laughed even harder when the words “ oh hell yeah brother, that gods fighting juice he got there” popped in my mind.
You can find 36ct cans in warehouse stores like sams club and Costco. There’s also a 1.25 liter bottle
I was surprised they made a big deal of the 24 when 36 is clearly the way to go.
@@jessicaroth7439 it’s actually rarely cheaper at sams or Costco on a per can basis since soda is often a loss leader at grocery stores it’s very often on sale
@@mitpatterson it used to he cheaper majority of the time. It is no longer so. Now costco is always more expensive than the store. But even with the store sales costco isn't much more expensive.
It would have been cool to see the drink colors in a glass
I went to the UK like 5 years ago and fell I love with their Mountain Dew( I am from the USA) and found our throwback Mountain Dew taste almost the same or is the same as the UK regular version. 😍
It's the sugars used, standard US MD uses high fructose corn syrup.
@@ticklezcat5191 I know. But I never liked USA’s Mountain Dew.
is it different? I don't like our version ( uk ) it's nasty lol
to be fair I haven't tried USA version lol
@@Miffytang86 I liked the UK I never liked the USA one. I think it’s just a preference.
There is a 1.5 L bottle in the US as well.
In England we had a second flavour that was a sort of berry citrus and I miss it so much but they haven’t reconstituted it for like 5 years.
Raspberry game fuel, that stuff was insane! Tasted identical to the american blue voltage flavour
@@NintyGuy999 I only tried the American ones at like age 14-15 and looking back it was quite similar. I do miss the raspberry one we had though it was diff to any drink we had at the time and the original was it’s own flavour as well. Hopefully they expand :/
7 portion sizes in the US. We also have a 1 liter
Can't forget all the restaurant and gas station exclusives as well as the seasonal mystery flavor, voodoo which has a few iterations. You're also missing live wire and citrus cherry which are common (in my area at least)
1.25 liter bottles also. What about Baja Blast and Purple Thunder Dews.
Also Costco has 36 packs
In Ireland you can't even get regular mtn dew anymore ever since a sugar tax came in almost all the stores here scrapped it as far as my knowledge goes there is only 2 stores in the island that sell it Link and Reynolds both in Dublin City centre
And they just released Mountain Dew: FLAMING HOT! which has an after burn on your throat after swallowing the drink. It's the most bizarre thing I've tried lol
Sounds 🤢
@@JF-gy7tt it is
Funniest & most enjoyable episode of Food Wars so far.
0:41 US mnt dew also comes in 1L bottles
The US also has times when it sells 36 packs on pepsi products including mountain dew. The 36 pack also come in split packs where you can get 18 pepsi and 18 mountain dew cans
Something that I think would be fun for the exclusives is if you would rate them from worst to best!
no
@@JoeAvella Haha, expected this response from you, figured it’d be a pain😂
I remember it coming out here when I was a kid and drank worrying amounts of it. It did make family events more palatable (they usually took place in Methodist churches so they were even less fun).
Same. I remember passing out behind the waltzers at a fair when I was a kid from so much free mountain dew
After Joe has come down from the dew-perience, y’all need to do a Monster Energy food wars so we can get Harry hyped too xD
Missed the 24oz, 1L, and 1.25L bottles in the US
SUPER COOL, INCREDIBLE
We did have the zero sugar version in the UK a few months ago. I've had it. I've also bought smaller bottles of, I think about 350ml before? Haven't looked in a while, so not sure if we still have them currently. Don't think I've ever seen a diet bottle, though.
This video is just torturing Joe by making him drink every Mountain Dew flavor. Lol
omg i love food wars!
I'd have to say that MTN Dew Livewire, (which wasn't featured in this video), is quite possibly my most favorite! It's the orange one that usually tends to come out ever summer in the US.
It’s so good, I absolutely love it
Mtn Dew Diet introduced me to Mtn Dew, but I soon moved on to sugar version. I live in the UK btw
They jst make my day😊
Make a 🇬🇧vs🇺🇸 GATORADE/POWERADE edition
Cheers from San Diego California
I think that energy drink one used to be Amp- my high school was wired up for 2 or 3 years from selling Amp and SoBe NoFears like crazy before they stopped selling them.. It was a lot less chaotic after that.
8:15 Kickstart more specifically The yellow one, or Pineapple Orange Mango (With coconut water)
Is a really good hangover cure when you wake up. Unfortunately it's hard to find in stores now.
Joe’s Wordle technique needs some SERIOUS work
WHAT?! Come at me bro!!!!!
Ah yes the drink where I learnt high caffeine isn't for me. But the cirtrus taste was needed on a hot day. At least I learnt my caffeine sensitivity level for a theory thing I was interested in.
Wish we had like a zero sugar here if my BP drops badly. But God the colour is so scary of the other flavours. EDIT: Found sugar free version in Subway. Definitely need it though only half a bottle a day for my hearts sake. Edit 2: I felt high after a half bottle and definitely don't want to know what a full 500 would do to me.
I could never get past the almost flat taste. It just isn't nearly as fizzy, as other sodas, to me.
7up ftw
@@terrifick4092 yh 7up free is my go to unless I'm desperate for caffeine to get through the day and function.
You guys launching this video when we are a week away from Eid when I can actually drink some Mountain Dew is amazing but endurance-testing
or should i say... endewrance testing 😏
Edit: Eid Mubarak everybody
Harry making a cup of tea in the middle of the video? He is me
As someone who has worked for distribution, there are 1l mtn dews in the US as well as a 3liter and mini bottles
The secret message of this video: Do NOT drink Mountain Dew!
You literally could not have picked a worse person to represent American mtn dew drinkers 💀
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Most intelligent words I've heard.
Crypto is the new gold.
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price.
I have also been trading with him, The profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. I made up to $560,000 in 2months trading with him.
Whats ~~ app
The US also has the 1.25 liter
Got to love when somebody that doesn't normally drink Mountain Dew (or soda in general) does a review on it and thinks it really sweet...
They forgot Mtn Dew Baja Blast
