Each to his own, I suppose. I have tried all three now, and my rankings are as follows:

First - Supernova - I really enjoyed this one - I thought it had the most distinctive flavor of the three, and I found that it had more of a melon flavor, rather than a strawberry flavor, so my vote goes for this one.

Second - Voltage (probably), although I'll have to drink it again. It may be a bit too tart for my liking, but we'll see.

Third - Revolution. This one had the hardest to define flavor of the three, but I liked it nonetheless.

I always like trying new things and you pretty much get what you pay for. I will say this, though - all three new Mountain Dew flavors seemed to have an overall bitterness to them. Does anyone know if this has something to do with the addition of ginseng? Just curious.

Alright I'm drinking Revolution right now, and so far it's alright. I don't know if it won if I would drink it over other sodas. It's better than the atrocity that Supernova is though.

Alright I had Voltage last night. It was the least gross of the three. I don't know if I would drink it on a regular basis, but I hope it wins.

After trying Supernova, I agree with those of you who said it was terrible! I really don't know how I managed to finish the whole 20 oz bottle. Probably because of the fact that I don't like to be wasteful. It was just gross. I will probably never drink it again. My favorite by far is Revolution. I would be ok if Voltage won too. Just as long as Supernova doesn't win, I will be happy.

I picked up the Mountain Dew Revolution & its alright. Not as good as I thought it would be at first. The aftertaste isn't too good. I rate it a 4/10.

I was at Wal*Mart, and I happened to see 12 packs of Supernova and Voltage...didn't see Revolution. Supernova didn't sound good, so I decided to give Voltage a try. I'm drinking one right now (after having a tap A&W...yum), and I must say that I like it. The can and box designs are good, great color scheme. The color of the drink itself is nice change of pace.

I think I made the right choice.

So far I've tried Voltage and Revolution. I found Revolution to be too weak tasting. Voltage is far better. I think I'll wait on Supernova, based on the reviews.

I also saw the 12-packs. I have seen them twice actually. Once at the c-store I first bought the 20 oz's at, and once at Kroger. I didn't buy any though because I really don't feel like paying $4.19 for a 12-pack. Pop has gotten so much more expensive in the last year or two. I know that the price of gas is making everything else go up, but that much for pop? I remember two years ago, you could get 12-packs for $2.50 almost on a regular basis. The cost has increased by about 60%. It's rediculous!

Of all the three Mountain Dews, I liked Supernova the best. It seemed to be the most different tasting flavor while still keeping the Mountain Dew flavor profile and mouth feel. To me, it tasted like a generic "berry" flavored Mountain Dew as opposed to the Strawberry Melon it is supposed to be, but the berry flavor was just different and sweet enough to make it drinkable and make me wanting more. To me, it almost tasted like chewing Sweet Berry flavored Stride gum and drinking Mountain Dew.

The Voltage almost tasted like the Original Pitch Black only with a lighter and more crisp taste. There was a little tart to it, but when it was cold, the tart wasn't as prominent (at least not to me). While it was okay, I felt like I have drank this Mountain Dew flavor before and it wasn't different enough to make me want it as a full time choice in Mountain Dew flavors.

Revolution was good and quasi unique. To me, it almost tasted like Baja Blast (good thing since that is
my favorite Mountain Dew flavor if not my favorite Pepsi Product overall) but with some tartness. Actually the aftertaste is almost like the hard Sweettarts candy. Again, with the similarity to Baja Blast, I felt like I have had this Mountain Dew before. But it is cool what Pepsi is doing with the Mountain Dew brand after X years of only offering one flavor.

My choices are:

1. SuperNova - very unique and unlike any other Mountain Dew flavor I have tasted; plus, I want more!

2. Revolution - almost unique and almost matches my favorite Mountain Dew flavor Baja Blast; but, I just as easily get Baja Blast from Taco Bell or eat a pack of Sweettarts

3. Voltage - while the Original Pitch Black was good, this flavor is a nice follow up to it. But I have had that flavor before and wants something not so similar
