Or is it just me who finds the concept of ‘mystery flavor clear liquid’ very unappealing?

I grew up with dumdums and tootsie rolls doing this because of how the machines made batches of different flavors. The mystery flavors were just mysteries because during the change between flavor productions, there’s a margin of error so they just wrapped the candy made in between two flavors as “mystery flavors” since they couldn’t be 100% sure what flavor it was gonna have anyway.

I don’t think that’s what Mountain Dew is doing though. They totally know what flavor it is, they just don’t wanna tell you it’s dog vomit and hairball.

My guess is Voo Dew tastes like Doo Dew.

Most of the time, yes! I will avoid anything that’s clear because it makes my brain not want it. Unless, I’ve looked up the mystery flavor (in the case of a static mystery flavor).

I mean, it’s intended for kids as each year’s mystery flavor is a different Halloween candy.

The real question: is it better or worse than Oreo Coke?

I tried this and to me it’s just kinda diet Dr. Pepper flavored.
