Mystic Punch is fine. Not as good as I was expecting. I would drink it again though, but not buy a case. Citrus Cherry is the real deal. Considering how it’s universally loved I don’t know why it’s not a regular flavor. You can always try the store locator in hopes of finding something. It helped me find Citrus Cherry. Still waiting for cases to pop up in my area. www.mountaindew.com/find-dew/ |

finnbalor1 Appreciate it brother. If there's any sodas you need I can find I'll do the same. I'm on the Northeast. It seems like people around your area really like Dew. I guess it's weird for me because a lot of the limited flavors haven't been showing up at my local deli's, but I've had luck Target. Thing is I have to be on the constant lookout and walk a bit. I found both new cherry and Mystique Punch today and while excited, have really cut down my soda intake. I do terrible with caffeine and don't react well to it. Going to drink these two tomorrow and let you guys know what I think. LK3 I just used the locator and that's how I found both flavors. This is like the first time where limited edition Dews show up near my neighborhood. Btw, have any of you guys tried Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer soda?

Thanks,i might need it one day and hit you up. As of lately that one Walmart seems to be getting every new flavor,hopefully that continues. I know its a guy on eBay that sells limited edition sodas that from around my area,so I think that's why a lot goes away quick but my sister works at my local Wal-Mart and she said it would shock you how many people asks about special limited foods&drinks every day. Ive been trying to get in a little better shape lately, so I've cut way down on sodas myself but I can't resist these special Dews lol. I couldn't say how much of the older Dews I have put back since I only drink maybe a can or two tops a week anymore. Is that the Harry Potter drink? If so,I haven't but a ex of mine was a big HP fan and her mom got her some before and I don't think she cared to much for it. She never asked for it again,so it must've been rough lol |

I forgot to mention that I got a case of Hard Mountain Dew from my friend who works at a Sam Adams brewery. It has regular, black cherry, watermelon, and Baja blast. Black cherry and watermelon are pretty good. Regular is okay. Baja.. I don’t think I’ll be finishing the rest of them in the case. It’s been a long time since I had regular Baja Blast and thought maybe I’d like it more than I thought I did, but if this is anything to go off of then no lol.

Damn, I hate people like that. I understand maximizing profits or maybe buying one item to resell, but wiping out a whole section is pure greed imo. I'm glad to hear that you're getting in better shape. Any specific goal? I'm kind of on the same boat, but disappointed in myself because I have some injuries preventing me in being in the shape I was a couple of years back. Yes, Harry Potter drink. I wanted it like a year back, found it a couple months back and ended up with Sprite legacy instead. I literally walked from Jersey to New York with a 12 pack lol. I think the only thing setting me back is that the Harry Potter soda has Stevia. It has a disgusting aftertaste. Tried Citrus Cherry and I'll be honest, I don't get much flavor from it. It's like this slight cherry taste, with a cotton candy type of sweetness. Way better than Code Red though, I think it tastes like Robitussin. Code Red is my least favorite from the Dew lineup. |

No,I don't really have a big goal to hit I guess. I had(well still do) a lot of trouble with my left foot, almost lost it and had to have a surgery on it to improve it and during all the time it was that bad I couldn't exercise or tbh get around that much and just like most people gained some weight during covid. I guess my biggest goal is just want to feel like me again lol but still need a Dew every week or two. How did you feel about the Legacy? I wasn't a fan at all personally but I'm loving the Sprite cranberry Code Red is probably my favorite non exclusive/limited Dew but I agree I like the Citrus Cherry a lot more then Code Red |

I wasn't a fan at all personally but I'm loving the Sprite cranberry Code Red is probably my favorite non exclusive/limited Dew but I agree I like the Citrus Cherry a lot more then Code Red Yes, I remember now. Do you get therapy or a stretch routine? I think that might help a bit. I try doing some stretches for my injury, but ultimately might think I have some underlying issues. I think Legacy was good imo. It was a little sweet, but then again I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't drink three cans in a row. I think a lot of the mainstream sodas are a little harsh, I kind of like smoother sodas lol. Sprite Cranberry reminded me a lot of my childhood and fit the fall/winter theme. I need to cut back on the soda, but dammit this Dew helped me finish some designs for a client yesterday. I could see why people rely on caffeine.
EDIT:Just finished Mystic Punch and honestly I can't really tell Citrus Cherry and this one apart besides a slight hint of punch flavor on this one. I think I prefer Citrus Cherry, but neither are anything to lose sleep over. |

EDIT:Just finished Mystic Punch and honestly I can't really tell Citrus Cherry and this one apart besides a slight hint of punch flavor on this one. I think I prefer Citrus Cherry, but neither are anything to lose sleep overit Not anything special,its been 4 months this past Saturday since the surgery and now I just do the normal stuff while going for a walk/jog. Ive got to wear A special shoe/brace when I'm walking a longer distance, the doc told me just wear it if I know I'm gonna be walking over 30-45 minutes. Its just a regular New Balance shoe with a rod and special inserts. Is your injury from the car accident you talked about ? Sorry if I'm thinking of someone else I don't know what it was but I just didn't enjoy the Legacy at all,it seemed like it got worse every drink. Tbh I don't think I finished the can lol. I really like the cranberry Canada Dry ginger ale too,like you said both are perfect for the winter/holidays I still haven't had a full can of the Mystic yet just a sip or two,so that might change if I drink more but it didn't seem to have much of a flavor. It was just a 5 out of 10 for me. If I wanted something different I might would pick up a bottle but it would never be something I would want more then a can every week or two. I wish Dew would bring back past flavors like this more often,would love to have some Dew Shine just one more time. |

4/$16 on coke cases at ShopRite today, but added 6 20oz Citrus Cherry and over $30 on soda 😅 they probably had 6 more but I was like that’s enough for today.

The good thing is that you can walk and go out, so I'm for you in that sense  Yes, that was me and partially... I had some injuries before that sort of changed my life in the last three years and the car accident just complicated things quite a bit. Try Mystic again and let me know how you feel. I feel like I might go out and get myself another Citrus Cherry. I did enjoy that one more than Mistic. Dude, Dew Shine was one of the goat Mountain Dew flavors. It was so clean and refreshing. I only got to try it out once and man... I still remember it to this day. Did you ever get to try out Mountain Dew Distortion? It's one of the flavors I missed out on around 2010/2011. I remember passing up on it and being one of my biggest regrets when it comes to beverages. I tried one of those Dunkin Donuts canned coffee things and mind you I can't do dairy or drink coffee  |

GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy hope things starts getting better for you. A lot of times any type of injury takes a good amount of time to recover from but if you're anything like me I'm a impatient person and get aggravated with the lack of progress. As long as you improving from month to month is the key I guess,you'll get back to your old self at the end. Probably gonna be a little bit before I try the Mystic again,next time I cheat its gonna be with a Citrus Cherry again but after that I do want to give it a fair chance since I haven't even finished a can yet. And I don't know about anybody else but some sodas taste completely different in a bottle or can to me. So I like to try both unless I really hated it the first time. I even gave the Flamin Hot a second chance lol Dew Shine is my favorite Dew and most likely my favorite soda overall(that and Crystal Pepsi). My grandmother at Christmas after we ate dinner would fix some type of punch and I swear it tasted exactly like Dew Shine. I had plenty when it was out but i would love to have few more bottles now. Ive even looked it up on eBay but don't want to pay those prices and get flat soda lol. I don't think so but my nephew would always buy the limited flavors and when I seen them in the fridge I would drink them,so maybe I just don't remember it. That's one I hear come up a lot on Reddit when people talks about their favorite flavors tho,so I wish they would bring it back to give it a shot.

Gave Blue Raspberry Warhead soda a try and it wasn't too bad and not super sour like you'd think.

Dr. Pepper is one for me that has a noticeable difference. Can is my least preferred for it. |

Seen where Baja is back on the shelves,I forgot its supposed to return at the beginning of the year. I still have some from last summer but still nice knowing its here to stay when I do want more.
Not soda related but I did find the new strawberry milk shake M&MS and strawberry Goldfish,big fan of both
