Sorta reminds me of when Coke Zero and then Vault were rolled out.
Parts of the country were slow to get them. Heck I recall that there were cans and bottles of each brand on EBay even as new product was hitting the shelf. Oh the pain of a new brand. LOL

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 )

I have the fortune of purchasing these while on vacation in Ohio. They were put in the fridge immediately upon returning to Canada where my gf and I would consume and review them.
Day #1 Wildberry We both really liked the taste of this one as well as the colour. It had a great berry flavour that was distictive enough to be different than the other Dews out there. It even gave me an opportunity to kinda rub salt into the wounds of my local Coke rep (we just had Fanta Wildberry discontinued here in Canada) as I said to him, "Wow, a wildberry soda that actually doesn't suck" He smiled, I would give it a 8/10 Day #3 Raspberry We both LOVED this one! It tastes just like the blue Koolaid we love only carbonated. I would definately buy cases of this regularly and add it to my fridge on a regular basis. I will rejoice if this flavour wins. 10/10 Day #4 Strawberry Melon We were both disappointed in this one the most. Tasted like someone made a coctail of Mountain Dew and cough syrup. The fake strawberry flavour is so awful. The melon(?) flavour does not save this one. Why can't anything strawberry flavoured (other than strawberry ice cream) taste like a STRAWBERRY??? Fake strawberry (second only to fake banana) is by far the worst flavour in the world and adding it to this soda was a disaster. The only thing I did like was the colour. Hell, you could make the raspberry one this colour and it would be cool. The colour is like no other Dew. 3/10 I will definately pick up a 12 pack or 2 on my next trip to the US. Thanks for reading ![]() |

![]() ![]() Mkay on scale of 1-10: Voltage is by far the best i rate it a 9. It is a little to sweet it would be ok if the flavor was stronger but it is still great. ![]() Supernova is second i rate it a 6. WAY to sweet for my taste. It tastes like a mix of stale code red and Game Fuel but is still better than revolution.) Revolution is horrific i wanted to chug a bottle of bleach after drinking this i rate it a 0. Take a club soda and add a very small diet blueberry flavor and thats what it tastes like. ![]()
