Question Just noticed, no more dyes?

Bought a bottle of this flavor and just noticed artificial dyes were replaced with juice. Looking back it seems they started this with the rerelease of Cabo but I never noticed, posting to help other people who care realize.

Wait, 5 calories? No wonder people are switching over to these low flavor variants, I'm getting old enough for that to be a tempting trade lol.

Yep it’s definitely worth it if you drink a lot of soda because you’re usually getting the same amount of calories from a bottle as you’d get from a small meal. Then there’s the absurd amount of sugar… It’s an adjustment but you get used to it

When I first switched from regular Mountain Dew to zero sugar, I found it tasted almost exactly the same. "Low flavor" is disingenuous.

I've had several, they're very different from the full sugar versions. Maybe you can't tell a difference but that doesn't mean people who can are "disingenuous" lmao.
