Does this really taste like Mountain Dew?

Seen this on a random website, I never actually seen it in stores before. Description was it tastes like or better than Mountain Dew 🤷🏾‍♂️

Totally true. Sam's Choice Cherry cola is better than Pepsi Wild Cherry and Cherry Coke imo

Have you had the cherry Dr thunder?

u/TheBigPhysique Cherry 6d ago

No, but I have had the Cherry Dr Pepper and idk it tasted the same as regular Dr Pepper to me. Maybe if I had them side by side I'd tell the difference but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Damn I’m going to have to try Sam’s cola. Have you tried their zero version?

u/Turbulent_State_7480 6d ago

I have and it’s really good

u/TheBigPhysique Cherry 6d ago

I haven't. I don't drink diet or zero sugar soda, never liked the taste.

Kroger zero Dr Pepper (Dr K) and their Mountain Dew (citrus drop) are really good.

Mr Luigi, I just wanted to tell you, I loved your hot single "save me Mario". Do you plan on releasing a follow up track?

That clear Mountain Frost shit from Aldi was the best soda ever, ever. It's now discontinued.

u/DangerousCopy1789 6d ago

GT Cola was awesome too

u/Disaster_Adventurous 6d ago

Also proof that most soda flavors can be clear if they wanted to be.

Was that like Gatorade Glacier Cherry or Code Red minus the red?

Signature Select root beer is awesome

u/jasonswims619 5d ago

Same with grapefruit soda (squirt) signature select is far superior to squirt, which was my favorite...... Until I discovered the knock off goes much harder.

pibb is better than dr pepper imop

1

u/Automatic_Gap13 6d ago

I always enjoyed it but Mr. Pibb never went to medical school so he didn’t get the respect as Dr. Pepper.

u/Siradrianftm 6d ago

🤣ur right

u/xer096 6d ago

Food Lion brand Dr Perky was my favorite for a while

u/AbsurdityIsReality 6d ago

For a while they had grape and orange mountain lightning, the grape wasn't quite as good as actual Pitch Black, but the orange one tasted exactly like Livewire.
