Voo Dew 5
Mountain Dew (2023)
It's that time of year again; the leaves on trees are starting to change color, the MLB playoffs are starting, and the spooky mystery flavor of Mountain Dew is on store shelves.
The artwork on the packaging and advertisements for Voo Dew 5 includes this funky sunglasses-wearing mummy with a mohawk. This is an idea that they should consider leaning into for the future. I'd love to see what a Mountain Dew punk rock version of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man would look like.
I've been able to try all of the different versions of Voo Doo when they first came out, and again last year during The Ghosts Of Voo Dew Past promotion. Here is a breakdown of what I thought each of them tasted like the first time I tried them, and how that interpretation changed when I had a second opportunity to try them all in October 2022.
- Voo Dew 1 (2019)
- First impression: Fruit Loops mixed with a Creamsicle
- Second taste: Fruity Pebbles
- Voo Dew 2 (2020)
- First impression: Tropical Skittles
- Second taste: Gummy Bears with a creme base
- Voo Dew 3 (2021)
- First impression: Yipe Stripe Fruit Stripe Gum
- Second taste: Blue Raspberry Blow Pop
- Voo Dew 4 (2022)
- First impression: Raspberry lemonade mixed with grapefruit soda
- Second taste: Grapefruit Flavored Sour Patch Kids (which don't exist as far as I know)
So, I've tried both the regular and zero sugar versions of Mountain Dew Voo Dew 5, and my first impression is that it tastes like Juicy Fruit Gum, but since I can't even seem to agree with myself on the flavor from can to can, your results may vary.
