Do you like Mountain Dew?

[Jan van Leyden]

I know this stuff only from hearsay and RPG boards. Apparently it is available in Germany at a few places, but I haven't seen it yet.

Our gaming drink of choice is Apfelschorle (astonishingly the english Wikipedia knows this term!), or any variety of beer - German ones of course - with or without alcohol.

Not really a Mountain Dew fan. I drink a lot of Coke Zero, Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry and Diet A&W Root Beer.

Couldn't vote. Never had it.

Ditto. However, if it's a kind of flavoured sugar water I won't like it.

When roleplaying I only drink still water.

You've NEVER had Mountain Dew????

Any reason for that?

I can actually get Mt Dew in Europe, Middle East, and the Americas. Can't say I've ever looked for it in Asia...

As an aside, Mtn. Dew tastes different in Europe/Middle East. Seriously. Some say it has a different mix to it. Same goes for Fanta and other fruit drinks. They seem more...fruity. Just something interesting. I think the soft Drinks have different ingredients or something between the continents.

Don't think I've ever seen it. Or, if I have, I haven't noticed. I daresay I could seek it out if I felt the urge.

I'm one of those that used to drink it by the liter but stopped for health reasons. Not diabetic, that I know of, but needed to lose weight.

Now, the smell of it turns my stomach. Still need my caffeine, though, so its Diet Coke (around 6 or 7 of those a day) with Splenda.

I don't always drink soda, but when I do I prefer Cheerwine .

They may use sugarcane instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. If you get to try some Mt. Dew Throwback (It uses sugar) and it tastes similar to the Dew from Europe then that is the reason for the different taste.

It differs not only between continents but between countries in Europe. My children won't touch a Fanta or Sprite outside of Germany anymore. Luckily they can't compare different strokes of Coke.
