For the last couple of years I have been purchasing Merry Mash-up Holiday Mountain Dew. I think it is my favorite of all the Mountain Dews that I have tried. Last year there was a bunch of infiltrators mixed in almost side by side. Watermelon Zero. What was the Pepsi company thinking with that one? (But then perhaps there are just as many questioning the Mash-up cranberry/pomegranate blend).
Last year I had accidently
grabbed a Watermelon Zero along side the Holiday and grossed out at the disgusting
taste of watermelon? Really? It was 2020.
The flavor will always remind me of COVID. I have learned long ago that if the word “zero”
is part of the soda name it means zero sugar, zero calories, and for a while
had believed zero taste. But “zero”
means horrible taste. You might as well
be sucking on shoe polish. Yuch!!!!
This year Mashup does not seem
available – at Dollar General (where I was first introduced to it) at least. And
yet there is this overgrowing supply of Watermelon zero – like the company knew
they had made a mistake introducing the horrendous flavor to begin with. I think they are hoping people will do what I
did last year and grab it on an impulse of getting the holiday Mountain Dew. I mean why would the company offer watermelon
in the off watermelon season?
I think they are just stuck with this million
of COVID creations that need to be gotten rid of to an unsuspecting
public. I want my Merry Mashup. Please bring it back and throw that
watermelon crap away.
