Santa Project season 2: holiday flavors




As I’ve mentioned before on this blog I’m a really huge fan of seasonal packaging and seasonal variants of products from food to drink. 

Mountain Dew takes their cracks at the seasons quite often, although they are not doing it this year with Christmas, sadly. The last two years of holiday Mountain Dew flavors are a mixed bag. Two years ago they released Gingerbread Snap’d Mountain Dew, which took me the better part of a year to finish the 12 pack. Gingerbread and citrus did not go well together, and it was a difficult go to complete it. 

On the other hand, the following year’s Mountain Dew Fruitquake was delicious. It says it’s a mixture of Mountain Dew and fruitcake, but really it comes across like a holiday fruit punch. It was quite delicious, and I have to say it had a fruity zing to it that really accompanies Mountain Dew’s natural citrus flavor very well. 

Unfortunately PepsiCo is not providing us with a Mountain Dew Christmas specialty this year; so to them I say this one thing: 

You can suck on a chili dog out behind the tasty freeze.
