![]() I thank you with my entire heart, Mountain Dew, that this doesn’t have any of that terrible sucralose. So, I’m really expecting this to taste like a better version of Midnight Grape Kickstart since this lacks the crappy sucralose. What is that all about man? That’s certainly not dark.Īlso RED 40 CHAS RAD APPROVED! KIDS OFF THE WALLS! Interestingly, this has orange juice too. So, I bloody told you right? Grape freaking juice. Hold up! This has more caffeine than Übermonster?!Übermonster had the warning and everything. Thankfully it isn’t an energy drink so this should be quick.Ĭarbonated water, sugar, grape juice concentrate, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium benzoate, concentrated orange juice, caffeine, gum arabic, red 40, sodium citrate, calcium disodium edta, blue 1.Ĩ3 mg of caffeine. Okay, there’s no description of this so let’s jump right into the nutrition facts.Ģ10 calories, 0g total fat, 85mg sodium. Oh wait, shocker right? Mountain Dew uses a strange name for something and then uses grape juice? That’s totally never happened before! Yeah! It may say “crafted dark berry” but underneath it say “flavor with other natural flavors.” They know its not a real thing. Well, what else can I say about this? Nothing because I don’t even know what’s so special about this can of Mountain Dew other than it is a made up flavour and it is supposed to be dark.Īt least they are honest. ![]() Apparently they have used Dark Berry before but it is a different drink and it was more blue than anything.įrom what I gather, it is probably a derivative from a blackberry or an elderberry. Nope! It sent me to the Mountain Dew Wikia and it said it is for Dark Knight Rises. What is a dark berry anyway? I mean, I’ve heard of blackberry and I’ve seen pretty dark looking berries in mulberries and I guess blueberries, but this specifically says dark berry. ![]() You can see near the top that it is described as “deeper darker dew” and at the bottom it says it is with “crafted dark berry.” What in the world does this mean? Well, if this drink isn’t black or darn close to it, I’m calling shenanigans. What Mountain Dew is pushing for this is that it is dark and black. What would I call the design? It kind of is a throwback to the Gatsby era with the lettering, but the wooshy lines behind it is way more modern. It is jet black and has cool looking words and design. Thankfully this isn’t a Kickstart so I’m expecting a more soda taste to it. ![]() I saw this awesome looking cart of them and was like “Hmm. ![]() What is it? Well, I have no idea in all honesty. Gridlock Ultra White takes a handful of risks for a generic energy drink, but it is painfully boring to drink, and at the end of the day, it is still a store-brand spoof of another beverage.Hey! This one is NOT an energy drink this time! This is Mountain Dew Black Label. Consonant with the rest of the experience, Gridlock copies the kick from the aforementioned Monster, one that lasts just under three hours. Though I can praise Gridlock for ripping off a drink other than Red Bull, its taste is still a ripoff.Įach can contains: taurine, B vitamins, ginseng, inositol, guarana, and 140 milligrams of caffeine. Sweetness in this zero calorie cocktail is composed by erythritol, sucralose, and ace-k, a trilogy fine enough, but one that builds on the back of your tongue and clogs your palate with its extreme saccharinity that augments into an unpleasant aftertaste after only a handful of imbibes. Grapefruit and lemon are predominately featured, but they lack any punch, limping languidly onto the palate and rot as they make their way down your throat. The flavor is a complete riff of Monster Zero Ultra, a parody experience who's best joke is saying "see Monster, I can do everything you can for only a buck." But the problem lies in that the drink it clones was not very tasty to begin with. Why the hell would there be another Gridlock variety? It has been six years since I encountered the original two flavors, so why now? And why another diet one- did the original low-carb version have just a few too many calories? Either way, its can remains largely identical, complete with all the baby blue coloring, though it is now faintly textured, and the black has been swapped with white, hence the name. ![]()
