Hey Troy, thanks for starting up this thread. I'm a fan of centralization... especially as more of these reviews come out.
Anyway, the other day I was on a walk and came upon a bottle of
Mountain Dew Supernova at a Walgreen's here in Chicago. They didn't have the other two flavors yet, unfortunately. In any case, I picked up the bottle, and is my goofy custom, shot some photos of the bottle next to the "beverage tree"
Overall, I was very unimpressed.
This is obviously a drink that was driven by a marketing need, not a flavor one. Definitely not worthy to be one of the 3 finalists in the
DEWmocracy campaign, because if this is what "the next Mountain Dew" is like, I don't want it.
This tasted like a syrupy, fake-flavor strawberry soda, similar in execution to Fanta Strawberry, Tropicana Twister Strawberry, and Strawberry Crush. It hides behind the brand awareness of Mountain Dew and the inclusion of ginseng, because as a stand-alone product, it's not new or innovative.
Lackluster at best.
(So yeah, I'm not a fan.
Full review here for those wanting to read more babbling )
