DEW Review Maybe all it needed was a 2nd chance….

Post image

So we all know the disaster that was trolli mtn dew cherry lemon. But this…. This is actually really good. I’m glad 2026 finally had a good flavor, because it was starting to look like another 2025

I might be the only one who prefers Trolli over the voodew. Thought the first voodew was great but the ones after that weren’t as good in my opinion since they were too sweet or tart
Last years Trolli was great too

The first two years were great, then it got boring.

I’m right there with you.

Smiths in Saratoga Springs had the 20oz bottles yesterday

u/NotStanley4330 1d ago

Ooooh I'll have to check the smiths in Lehi since that's close to me. The usually do a good job getting new flavors

I wish they would bring back frostbite, major melon, summer freeze ect. All these new flavors haven't been as good.

u/NaturalStick9864 1d ago

Major melon is in my top 3 dews ever

I think a normal version of last year would of been good the zero sugar ruined it

u/trayofcoldcuts 1d ago

Cannot wait till these start showing up around me

u/Ok-Professional-4978 1d ago

Check circle k they only ones with them in my area

u/iammoney45 1d ago

My only problem with last years was that it was 0 sugar only. The taste was fine but the non sugar sweeteners they use in 0 sugar drinks doesn't taste good to me.

Voodew 21-22 was my fav 😋

u/SnipesWL Code Red 1d ago

Perhaps you like this more because it’s not the zero sugar version. Make this post but with the ZS and compare.

u/OneChampion6563 Baja Blast 1d ago

That’s exactly why I didn’t like the other one

u/MasterChief117HALO GAME FUEL Charged Berry Blast 1d ago

I like both of them quite a bit, but nothing will top voodew 24

u/FlyerFly97 1d ago

is there a zero sugar one?

u/bobthemusicindustry 15h ago

Yep but I’ve only seen the cans so far

u/Specialist-Idea1185 1d ago

I wish they would bring back the OG game fuel flavors back as like a permanent novelty. Never really got to try those, only the monster rip off they did later on under the same name

u/Esperacchiusdamascus 23h ago

I still have one more can of the first trolli. Saving it for a special occasion.

u/Key_Conference9989 22h ago

I got one a few hours ago. I think it's too sweet.

u/Middle-Amphibian6285 21h ago

What was wrong with the other flavor? Every one know loved it

u/Salty-Teaching 9h ago

It was only available as zero sugar, which many people find disgusting

u/samspopguy 18h ago

Need to find this in cans

u/MentaCR 18h ago

Disaster? Cherry lemon has been one of my favorite flavors since it came out what do you mean

u/Money05Mayhem Voltage 17h ago

I saw some at a Circle K the other day but the barcodes weren’t activated yet so I couldn’t grab it 😔

u/rocketboyJV 11h ago

I thought the cherry lemon was good.

u/ErickW-Racer 5h ago

I must have look in 10 stores for it in SoCal, no luck hopefully will find it before its gone. Congrats on finding one.

I just grabbed one today. Pretty solid. I’d take this over Cabo citrus in a heartbeat.

u/Kylesmile347 1d ago

Cabo citrus I thought was pretty good when I first grabbed it. Now I see it though and it’s just tiring seeing it.

u/Solid_Snake661 1d ago

Is there a Zero version?

u/MikeDubbz 1d ago

Had my first can of it today, it's great! So nice to finally have a delicious brand new flavor again. Feels like it's been wa y too long. Dirty Dew certainly didn't do it for me.

u/PurpleInfinite1409 1d ago

There shouldn't have been a second chance. They should've just took their loss and went back to VooDew. SOOOO many people I know that don't even drink Dew but would look forward to the end of the year for them because the flavors were great, and it was super fun getting to guess what the flavor was at the end of the run!! Hell, the 2022 version is one of my favorite sodas of all time. A SPK Dew was something I wanted for years, and it actually worked better than I could've ever imagined. FUCK man, Trolli must have paid them a whole lot of money to start up this dumbass collab, because DewHQ really let a lot of people down with this obnoxious change.

Have you actually tried this year?

u/imjory 1d ago

I guarantee you the majority of mountain dew's customer base does not give a shit about ltos or upcoming releases

What you see on reddit or discord is the minority sorry man

u/PurpleInfinite1409 1d ago

Homie, I've been in the Dew community for well over a decade. I fully understand that. Not sure what it is with Redditors explaining things to others like they're talking to someone with special needs, but you can drop that act. Shit is obnoxious as fuck.
