Ah Mountain Dew

I love Mountain Dew.  It's one of my favorite things on this earth, and I shall drink it until I die.  One of the other things I love to do: try new things.  If you can put two and two together, then you should realize that MD has created three new flavors for us to vote on.  Those flavors are:  White Out (citrus), Typhoon (strawberry/pineapple), and Distortion (lime).  Now, as of so far, I've only tried White Out, but believe you me, I plan to try the other two before voting starts on the 19th.  And now, because I have nothing better to do, here is my review on Mountain Dew - White Out:

The first thing that I noticed about this was the....weird....coloring of the soda.  It's white.  Or at least what tries to be white.  It comes out more as really really murky tap water, which my germaphobia cringes at.  On to the flavor!  It didn't occur to me until...well until I looked up the names of the flavors that I realized that White Out is citrus flavored.  Good ol' fashioned Mountain Dew us also citrus flavored, so I'm not really sure what kind of range they were going for here; if they were going for a wider range, holy cow did they fail.  As I drank it, I couldn't quite place what was different about it.  I finally got it though.  White Out tastes almost identical to MD, but it's not quite as cloyingly sweet.  I suppose that explains the full flavor name: White Out - smooth citrus. It is a bit easier to chug, if that's your thing.  Another thing I noticed after glancing at the ingredients list is that they left out the orange juice.  All of the other ingredients are identical to the original, minus the orange juice. 

So yeah.  That's White Out.  The one I'm really excited about is the lime one, to be honest.  Knowing that it's Mountain Dew, it will most likely be delicious, but we'll see; it definitely has the best looking bottle out of all them, though it could be because I'm a fan of green MD.
