Today's Most...interesting beverage currently being tested: The company that owns Mountain Dew confirms it's testing a flavor that tastes like Doritos.
PepsiCo confirmed to the NY Daily News that it's testing "Dewitos" on college campuses around the country. Speculation started when someone posted a picture online with the caption, "they were giving samples of this, it actually tastes like Doritos." The soda is orange-colored.
Pepsi wouldn't say if the company's thinking about actually selling Dewitos. But a company representative told the News, "we are always testing out new flavors of Mountain Dew, and giving our fans a voice in helping decid
No, I wouldn’t. I also can’t stand Mountain dew.
I would prefer Chili-Cheese Fritos flavored.
No.. never, not a chance in hell. Yech
Mountain Dew is a vile substance... didn’t mind it when I was a kid though.
No, but I just learned of the doritos & mountain dew cupcakes
No. It sounds vile.
I’ll wait for them to come out with liver and onions flavor!
The whole purpose of soda is drinking sugary pleasure
The original "tonic" (We Bostonians KNOW what's what !) was COCA ... cola
A drug delivered in a sugary drink ... which soon evolved into just plain sugary water.
ANY fooling around with that is just an attempt to confuse and re-engineer social constructs.
How about ___________ tasting pop for men and ___________ tasting pop for women ?
Leave the sugar drinks alone or ban them altogether .... don't mess with another American icon.
If I take a second drink, it will be because the drink is good. No risk, no reward, but that doesn't mean I have to drink it if I don't like it. ;)

Aah!...after all these years, and I don't know why I've never noticed it before (call me slow) now I'm beginning to understand just why it is that;
Bless you little 'ol heart.
Do not ask that question ever again.
Can we talk about something else? Something like, how the Western portions of Cotati (CA) smells, once the air warms, and the breeze from the Pacific sends the gaseous emissions from the nearby dairies to come wafting in?
That would be more pleasant than even contemplating the vile & hideous potentials of the proposition you saw fit to bring here, and on an early AM Sunday morning too.
Later today, I might have to dose myself with one of those political talk shows (those vile and hideous things of yet another kind) just to start a contemplative backfire. A scorched earth policy of sorts, within my own mind, like purposefully causing an additional pain elsewhere than where one is presently suffering in one bodily location, in hopes of lessening the pain at the first site of nagging misery.
Take that to your(?) Pepsico masters.
Perhaps they'll give the thirty pieces of silver (you have earned it).
Taco salad flavored soda is what I fantasize!
RALPH!!!
Very appropriate - today is Ted Williams’ birthday.
Never researched it, but NOW I will .... brb
Moxie is a brand of carbonated beverage that was an early example of mass-produced soft drinks in the United States. It continues to be regionally popular today. It is produced by the Moxie Beverage Company of Bedford, New Hampshire, which (through several levels of wholly owned subsidiaries) is part of the Kirin Holdings Company of Tokyo, Japan. As a result of widespread brand advertising, the brand name has become the word "moxie" in the English language, meaning "courage, daring, or spirit".
Moxie's flavor is unique, as it is not as sweet as most modern soft drinks and is described by some as bitter. Moxie is flavored with gentian root extract, an extremely bitter substance which was reputed to possess medicinal properties. It originated around 1876 as a patent medicine called "Moxie Nerve Food".[2]
Moxie is closely associated with the state of Maine and was designated the official soft drink of Maine on May 10, 2005.[3] Its creator, Dr. Augustin Thompson, was born in Union, Maine, but Moxie was created and first produced in Lowell, Massachusetts.[4]
and from WEBMD;
Gentian is an herb. The root of the plant and, less commonly, the bark are used to make medicine.
Gentian is used for digestion problems such as loss of appetite, fullness, intestinal gas, diarrhea, gastritis, heartburn, and vomiting. It is also used for fever, hysteria, and high blood pressure. Some people use gentian to prevent muscle spasms, treat parasitic worms, start menstrual periods, and as a germ killer.
Gentian is applied to the skin for treating wounds and cancer.
Gentian is used in combination with European elderflower, verbena, cowslip flower, and sorrel for treating symptoms of sinus infections (sinusitis). It is used in combination with other products for malaria.
In foods and beverages, gentian is used as an ingredient.
