![]() Not horrible, but just why is this a thing? If I had a choice, I wouldn’t bother with this again. I’ll give this a birthday party at an Arby’s out of Rad. It is like you are having a party, invited all your friends, but like only one of them comes and so does one random dude who only came because he had nothing better to do. Like, why is this even a thing? It has a sort of fruit punch vibe, but it’s missing a bunch of other flavours to make it a punch. There’s nothing that makes me go “ew” so that’s like already better than 90% of the drinks I write about here. At least it all tastes pretty good, right? Right. I taste the grape mostly with the orange kind of taking the passenger role. Grape flavoured orange juice? Orange flavoured grape juice? The way the taste of this drink is, I’d say it is more orange flavoured grape juice. This might work for some, but I’m not really getting it. Why would you do that other than curiosity? Now that I have let it sit, the after taste is a bit like if you drank some orange juice and grape juice. It mixes with the tartness of grape, but neither fruit is really that dominate. ![]() The acidity of the orange juice is very apparent. This is a soda isn’t it? It mostly taste of fizzy water for a while but then the mix hits. I don’t know why it is that name, but whatever. So uh, dark berry is actually orange+grape. It smells mostly of citrus (orange) with a hint of grape. It has a tiny red hint, but I’m pretty sure it is mostly purple. This is what I’d expect Pinot Noir to look like if I drank wine. It is more of a deep purple than anything. Heck, this may even be Harold approved with the lack of high fructose corn syrup. I thank you with my entire heart, Mountain Dew, that this doesn’t have any of that terrible sucralose. So, I’m really expecting this to taste like a better version of Midnight Grape Kickstart since this lacks the crappy sucralose. What is that all about man? That’s certainly not dark.Īlso RED 40 CHAS RAD APPROVED! KIDS OFF THE WALLS! Interestingly, this has orange juice too. So, I bloody told you right? Grape freaking juice. ![]() Hold up! This has more caffeine than Übermonster?!Übermonster had the warning and everything. Thankfully it isn’t an energy drink so this should be quick.Ĭarbonated water, sugar, grape juice concentrate, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium benzoate, concentrated orange juice, caffeine, gum arabic, red 40, sodium citrate, calcium disodium edta, blue 1.Ĩ3 mg of caffeine. Okay, there’s no description of this so let’s jump right into the nutrition facts.Ģ10 calories, 0g total fat, 85mg sodium. ![]() Oh wait, shocker right? Mountain Dew uses a strange name for something and then uses grape juice? That’s totally never happened before! Yeah! It may say “crafted dark berry” but underneath it say “flavor with other natural flavors.” They know its not a real thing. ![]() Well, what else can I say about this? Nothing because I don’t even know what’s so special about this can of Mountain Dew other than it is a made up flavour and it is supposed to be dark.Īt least they are honest. Apparently they have used Dark Berry before but it is a different drink and it was more blue than anything.įrom what I gather, it is probably a derivative from a blackberry or an elderberry. Nope! It sent me to the Mountain Dew Wikia and it said it is for Dark Knight Rises. What is a dark berry anyway? I mean, I’ve heard of blackberry and I’ve seen pretty dark looking berries in mulberries and I guess blueberries, but this specifically says dark berry. You can see near the top that it is described as “deeper darker dew” and at the bottom it says it is with “crafted dark berry.” What in the world does this mean? Well, if this drink isn’t black or darn close to it, I’m calling shenanigans. What Mountain Dew is pushing for this is that it is dark and black. What would I call the design? It kind of is a throwback to the Gatsby era with the lettering, but the wooshy lines behind it is way more modern. It is jet black and has cool looking words and design. Thankfully this isn’t a Kickstart so I’m expecting a more soda taste to it. I saw this awesome looking cart of them and was like “Hmm. What is it? Well, I have no idea in all honesty. Hey! This one is NOT an energy drink this time! This is Mountain Dew Black Label. ![]()
