    Game Fuel review/comments

    1. Game Fuel IMHO has to be one of the finest variations of the Mountain Dew brand I have ever tasted. From the very first sniff of my ice cold can to the very first tongue to mouth swallow.....Game Fuel was over set and match. LOL

    2. The Cherry flavor tasted "real", probably the least artificial cherry soda pop taste I have ever tasted.

    3. As well the "zing" of the MD(citrus) flavor along with the hyped up
    carbonation was just awesome.

    4. Game Fuel is sweet but has just enough tart to keep it tasting like
    the a way a good soda pop should taste. I was blown away that even
    though G.F. does not have orange juice, it still tasted like it did.

    5. At 73 mgs/12oz, G.F. gave me a nice caffeine buzz.

    6. Game Fuel IMO is too good to be a short term soda pop. It is that good.
    On the Zabe scale of 1 to 10......it's a 10 and an instant A-List qualification.

      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.

            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!

                    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.

                        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.
