Summer Freeze definitely has a strong resemblance to Voltage. Especially noticeable in the zero sugar variety. Not overly impressed.

I got another bottle of Summer Freeze last night. Wanted to give it another go to see if my taste buds are correct. Problem is, I had too many drinks last night and stood out in the rain so I'm feeling a little stuffy. Mind you, I was looking forward to drinking my Dew. BTW, does anyone know how we could make this the OFFICIAL SODA thread?I think we've made it a Official Mountain Dew Thread lol Summer Freeze definitely has a strong resemblance to Voltage. Especially noticeable in the zero sugar variety. Not overly impressed. It's official then, it's the Mountain Dew/other sodas thread. Agree, on the Voltage part and glad I'm not the only one. I lowkey think Faygo's Fireworks or 4th of July flavor was better in a sense that it tasted different. |

Had one of my Maui Blast(pineapple) and it was just as good as I remember. If you'll a fan of pineapple, try one of these,you won't be disappointed.
I think the Summer Freeze will be out of stores before I get to try it and Amazon is sure being slow as h*ll sending theirs out too lol

I really wanted to try it, but I think I'll have to resort to the secondary market and I don't like to pay scalper prices. |

I've got plenty of Dollar Generals around but none has gotten it in yet besides one around a hour away and they told me they sold out. So I had to go secondary too and it sucks,I gave $22 and some change for a 6 pack bottles. I just tried to make myself feel better and say a cold bottle at a convenience store is close to $3 bucks these days and I gave half to my nephew. He's been really wanting to try it and its his bday tomorrow, so I said h*ll with it but it sucks giving that much money for something that shouldn't cost $5 at the most 🤷🏻‍♂️ |

A 16oz soda is like $2.49 here nowadays... I'd never thought I'd see the day. How was the Maui Burst? |

I got a Red Bull yesterday at a smaller convenience store and it was almost $5,stuff has gotten ridiculous man. Loved it myself but I'm a huge pineapple guy,its up there for my favorite Dew flavors. I talked about it a while back and said I wasn't a big fan but more I drink the Trashed Apple, the more I'm enjoying it. If you're a fan of Jolly Rancher sour apple candy,this is a Dew you're probably enjoy. I think the first ones I bough through Amazon got a little weak or something,this tastes a lot better. |

Prices of vending machine soda at work went up this year for me. Although depending on the soda/machine I can get something a little cheaper. I had been able to get Cherry Coke or Mt Dew Spark for $1.22, but everything else was $1.69. Now I’m at a different location and I think the 20oz bottles are $1.75. But if I get cans they’re 80 cents, so for $1.60 I can get 24oz instead of 20oz for $1.75.

Not a big fan of ones like the Spark and mango but at least a can drink them. I've heard the cake smash flavor was really rough too and it sounds like it would be. |

Honestly, I thought that Flamin' Hot was pretty good and mind you, people scrutinized this flavor. I guess, it's because I like ginger beer and it's in that realm. I think Fruitquake was worse. |

Yeah that and the snap'd wasn't good,I'm from VA and we have a special flavor around here just sold in Food Lions called I think Uproar its kiwi and something else (been A while since I had it,forgot what it was) but that's another I wasn't a fan of. I've been putting off buying a 6 pack of Typhoon,I hear so much good things about it but $30 is a lot of money for soda for me,especially if I don't like it. |

I like Major Melon. Flammin’ Hot I didn’t care for… the actual taste of the soda seemed pretty decent, but the after taste for the “hotness” didn’t sit well with me.

I just tried Coca Cola Move by Rosalia and after hearing people give it negative reviews and me not liking coconut.... WELL.... I like it. It tastes better than regular Coke imo, it's smooth and has a nice mellow roasted coconut taste. On another note, Rosalia is damn hot lol.

Found Summer Freeze at ShopRite. Definitely tastes a lot like Voltage, but a little fruitier. Wish it was a little more unique, but all in all it’s good.

Finally got to try Summer Freeze,love it. It does remind me of a mix of Dew S A,Liberty Brew and Voltage. Wasn't as good as Dew S A but I still really enjoyed it.
I seen the cans for the new flavors coming out in couple months,I don't think I'm gonna be a big fan of either. One suppose to be Guava flavor and the other is passion fruit.

Not soda related, but I did manage to pick up a bag of Doritos Hot Mustard flavor. Still on the lookout for the ketchup flavor. I'll update tomorrow with my thoughts.

I think it was last week when I tried them,I don't really know if I liked them or not lol. I liked the ketchup better,it does have a pretty strong ketchup flavor to it but I thought it kinda tasted like a hint of bbq too. The mustard was a little strong for me,I don't think ill be buying anymore of them but it was fun to try. Ive always wanted to try the ketchup Lays from Canada but just didn't wanna spend that much money on a bag of chips. |

Dude, the hot mustard literally felt like it was going up my nostrils. Today I had another Sprite Remix, I'm like addicted to it. There's just something about the taste and also the nostalgia factor for me. It takes me back to 5th grade. Reminds me of a classic New York summer day with the fire hydrants open, people shouting out their windows, my friends throwing water balloons and me having my usual summer crush haha. |

I haven't tried a Remix in years,I don't really know if they're around here but might have to check next time I go out. Loved it from what I remember,I think I still have a old can around here somewhere when LeBron was on them
