I agree 100%.

Zabe, you need to need to get your tastebuds a checkup, they mislead you!

Game Fuel is the second worst Dew extension they've made, only beating Pitch Black.

There is no classic citrus Dew taste, due to the lack of concentrated orange juice. I can't taste any cherry, it's more like fruit punch, which others have also noticed.

I will give them this - the packaging looks good, and the caffeine boost gives a decent buzz.

I'd give it a 4/10.

If they're going to call it Dew, it needs to at least taste somewhat like Dew. This extension totally misses the mark.

It will be interesting to read what our board mate's tastebuds have
to say about Game Fuel. LMAO It's all good.

**yipching** · 08-10-2007, 11:48 AM

has this been released nationally?

I finally got my hands on some, and I agree pretty much with you, Mr. Zabe. At first, I expected it to taste a little closer to Code Red, but it actually is much more similar to Livewire, with a bit of fruit punch flavor mixed in. I have to say, though, I am only going to give this a 9/10, as, although it was very, very good, it is definitely the sweetest of all the Mountain Dew flavors, which is just a little bit much for me. Overall, excellent addition, though!

in our meeting yesterday we tried another new dew set for launch in late october so get you tastebuds ready.

**jacksmom** · 08-10-2007, 02:32 PM

What flavor is it?

**PepsiBlue** · 08-10-2007, 02:50 PM

Dew set in October? I hope its Pitch Black III!

**Acheron** · 08-10-2007, 04:04 PM

As I said in another thread - I think it's palatable, but not great. The cherry flavor sort of gets lost a little in the other flavors. Id still rather have a Code Red, Livewire or Baja Blast.

blueberry raspberry flavor. being tested in some states as mountain dew clash. dont knowe if that will be the name when nationaly marketed.

Maybe Zabe was utilizing those Magic (rinsed) Ice Crystals again....!

tastes like mountain dew with crushed up Smarties candy in it. pretty poor soda in my opinion, i liked the 1st version of pitch black better - this will do well for a few weeks and then die off.

edit - actually there is really no dew flavor in it, just Smarties flavor.

LMAO!!!!! Crushed rinsed ice does make any soda pop taste better. LOL

Just my gut feeling, the mass market soda pop drinker will like
Game Fuel because of it's sweet cherry flavor and it's high caffeine content
rather than if it has the traditional MD flavor notes.

I will predict that Game Fuel will be around till January 08 and then it will be
back by May 08 with an additional flavor.

I had it today, its not that bad. I dont mind that there is no dew flavor, because dew is just not my beverage. This, on the other hand, is pretty good. When i first sipped it, the sweetness shocked me, but as i started drinking, it sorta mellowed out into a delicious cherry/baja blast kinda combo. that and the fact that the can has Halo 3 stuff all over it, (im a big gamer), I do enjoy this beverage. I proabally will be stocking up when the time comes.
