Never have I ever had a refreshing drink and thought it would taste significantly better with a hint of spice. For those who have thought this way, you'll be happy to know that Mountain Dew is releasing a Flamin' Hot flavor hot chip lovers will go crazy for.
This drink won't be your run-of-the-mill soda and will only be available on the online DEW store at the end of the month. Mark your calendar for August 31 because that's when the drink will be released and you can order it to try out for yourself.
Mountain Dew is constantly reinventing itself with new flavors but they've typically stuck to different fruity and sweet tastes. For this innovation, the soda brand tapped fellow PepsiCo brand Cheetos to create a drink that's sweet, citrusy, and has a hint of spice.
"As a brand, DEW has a rich history of experimenting with new flavors our fans love. We certainly had them in mind when we developed the FLAMIN’ HOT beverage,” said Senior Director of Marketing Matt Nielsten: “This is one of our most provocative beverages yet, and we’re excited for DEW Nation to taste the unique blend of spicy and classic sweet citrus flavor of MTN DEW.”
Although the combination seems a little jarring at first it does make sense. I feel like people love pairing their hot chips with a cold Mountain Dew on the side and I'm sure the drink itself offers the same duality of flavors. The only way to really know it to drink it, so I guess I know what we'll all be doing on August 31.
