![]() I am a well-known and extremely vocal hater of the VooDew formula since it’s inception. Let’s get the elephant out of the room real quick like. Let’s talk about the mysterious taste and once again take a futile attempt at figuring out the flavor! Every member of TehBen’s Writer’s Room has genuinely sampled VooDew 2022, and most of us have something to say about it. This year’s flavor appears to be getting more wide appeal as the taste is not only more palatable, but more desirable on the whole to the soda market. Simply make the packaging look badass and change the flavor somewhat while keeping that enticing “frosted c**” off-white appearance to the 20oz bottles as our Jenn Coulter likes to say. There’s nothing to sell the market on anymore. Mtn Dew VooDew 4 is of course the fourth year for the Dew creating a candy based mystery flavor and selling it around Halloween with some of the best artwork to feature on a soda package each season. The trees are finally beginning to turn and there’s a cooler bite in the breeze finally which can only mean one thing: Fall is finally on our doorstep, and with that comes one of our favorite things to discuss here at. The best we can hope for anymore is to buy one at the local Wawa for $3.49, take a sip, and tweet out that the flavor is ”…fine.” Mystery flavors don’t work unless you make it a national conversation, and for that we still at least have one to talk about. There have been something like five brand new Coca-Cola flavors this year alone, most with stupid as hell names with minimal descriptions like Starlight, Dreams, Kumquat Manifest Destiny, Bolivian Self-Determination…and so on. Still, some of this blame has to be shared amongst Mtn Dew’s competitors as well. By selling booze with a renowned soda name on it, a move that would once have been called by many as dangerous and enabling to minors, the company has decided to take away every little bit of consumer imagination (or desperation as most cases would have it) and promote hard dew as a lifeless soulless marketing stunt to further pick the pockets of the good people in the Mtn Dew Can Collectors Society(tm). Mtn Dew sold as an alcoholic beverage was pretty much the last straw for me. While some of that goodwill is being mended thanks to efforts such as the Baja Deep Dive sweepstakes, other ideas have simply taken the piss. Some of that, as we’ve stated last year, is solely the fault of the company thanks to exclusivity agreements and market saturation that would make other soda brands blush. New Dews aren’t a call for celebration anymore, and I couldn’t really even tell you the last one that I’ve been truly excited about. If you’re a long time reader of TehBen, you’ve probably noticed we don’t talk about the Dew nearly as much as we used to. Voo-Dew may still be available at your local market.Mtn Dew just doesn’t capture my imagination anymore. Or just skip the review entirely and let your own taste buds solve the mystery.Ī post shared by The Impulsive Buy on at 6:05pm PDT You can get to it by heading over to our IG Stories or clicking the link in our profile, which will take you to a page with links to our recent reviews. Go read the full review if you want to know what I think it tastes like. Even though my guess is most likely incorrect, I think it’s a wonderful flavor that I gave a 9 out of 10. Now this is the part where I pull some quotes from our full review, but instead I’m going to just say this: It tastes like something that some folks thought last year’s VooDEW tasted like. Because I’m horrible at solving mysteries, what I believe this flavor taste like is most definitely wrong. It’s a mystery flavor, so get ready for a bunch of wrong guesses, like there were with last year’s Mtn Dew VooDEW. We posted a review of the 2020 version of Mtn Dew’s VooDEW on the site.
