It would have been downright criminal not to include the tropical lime-tinged Baja Blast. Default green Dew is guaranteed a roster spot no matter what black cherry is very “in” these days thanks to seltzer (both hard and otherwise) and watermelon is a classic variant of any treat. Sure, that’s a decent enough cross-section of flavors. Here’s what the Dew-givers went with for the launch: For someone of a different era, they might feel totally differently. In my adolescence, the cherry-flavored Code Red was the holy grail, the one flavor you looked for at every convenience store.

There are so many to choose from, so many that people of certain ages have emotional fondness for. I don’t envy the people who had to choose which Mountain Dew flavors to deliciously corrupt with the devil’s nectar for the initial rollout of Hard Mountain Dew. This could be a battle for the soul of mankind. The folks who make this stuff sent a sample package my way and I excitedly went down the rabbit hole with my roommates, like courageous beverage explorers.įor a very specific type of dirtbag (me), Hard Mountain Dew is going to be a test of will at any party where someone brings a case. I will not question why those specific states were selected to welcome such a beverage with open arms. Right now, Hard Mountain Dew is only on sale in three states which I’m calling “The Dew Triumvirate”: Tennessee, Florida, and Iowa. There's no more need to mix the Dew into a cocktail (I have actually done this) because now it’s been done for you by professionals and packaged into either 12 oz. Yes, they made alcoholic Mountain Dew, just as the prophecies foretold. That’s because I got to try the new line of Hard Mountain Dew drinks, courtesy of PepsiCo and Boston Beer Company. Overall, I think that Major Melon has its niche whether or not it will be profitable is something that only time will tell.I feel like the scientist at the beginning of a disaster movie who’s just discovered that something profoundly dangerous is hurtling towards all of us. They have gems such as MTN DEW PANCAKES, MTN DEW GRILLED CHEESE, and MTN DEW FRUITCAKE. Speaking of which, I feel it is worth mentioning that there are several interesting recipes on the Mountain Dew website. I don’t really know what kind of recipe that you would make with a Watermelon soda but it would be nice to have some pointers from the corporation. “I don’t know whether it will continue but, if not, I believe it could become one of their seasonal sodas.” I am not very confident that this soda will stick around in the main lineup. This is in contrast to the original flavor where they were sold alongside Doritos or the Electric Lemonade that is made with Mountain Dew Voltage. Mountain Dew as a company appears not to have released any recipes or recommended any products to be consumed alongside Mountain Dew Major Melon. In my opinion, the original flavor is better. It is the same price and is a good alternative for people who like watermelon flavored things over the standard Mountain Dew flavor. I don’t tend to like watermelon flavors but this is on the better end of watermelon flavored drinks.”Īs far as I could tell, the new flavor of Mountain Dew is as-marketed. I asked him for his thoughts on the new flavor. Gavin Jackman has tried almost every flavor of Mountain Dew that has been available since he was a kid and is a proud Mountain Dew enthusiast. I also do not call myself a Mountain Dew enthusiast. Now, I must admit that I am biased, as I do not enjoy watermelon flavored things. It had a nice smell but that was really the only part I enjoyed.

I tried the drink and could not finish it. This begs the question, is the soda any good? If you ask me, no.

The commercial was really well done with a bumbin’ soundtrack, tons of visual effects, and a dog made of watermelons. This is in contrast to Dew USA, which is typically only available during the summer and to Pitch Black II, which was only available for a few Halloween seasons. Mountain Dew Major Melon appears to be a permanent addition to the roster and won’t be going anywhere for the foreseeable future. The release was silent until the Super Bowl when they ran a commercial starring John Cena and a one million dollar giveaway where if you had to count the number of bottles that appear in the commercial and then tweet to enter. It was likely created to compete with the release of Monster Energy Ultra Watermelon.

Recently, Mountain Dew released a new flavor called Major Melon, which as the name entails, is watermelon flavored. (Featured image courtesy of PepsiCo via prnewswire)
