Mountain Dew MDX


Apparently Mountain Dew is coming out with MDX, a new hybrid soda/energy drink. In addition to normal soda stuff, it also has Ginseng, Guarana, Taurine, and D-Ribose. There’s no reports that it contains more caffeine, which is really disappointing, but nobody seems to know for sure yet.

They’re officially launching it during the World Series with a couple cool commercials. They feature nocturnal animals lip-syncing to Lionel Ritchie’s “All Night Long” and Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses at Night.” Just for the record: You can never, ever go wrong with Sunglasses at Night.

Somehow, there’s been a promotion on Mountain Dew’s website for most of this year, and drinks were given away at E3, and I didn’t hear about this. I must be slippin. Testers say it mostly tastes like normal Mountain Dew, with a slight bitter aftertaste. Some people suggest it’s from all the other ingredients. We also know that caffeine has a bitter aftertaste so I’m hoping for that. In addition, there seems to be less carbonation. People liken it Surge.

EDIT: I’ve confirmed that MDX has more caffeine than Mountain Dew. It has 82.25 mg in 14 oz, which is equivalent to 70.5mg in 12 ounces, whereas normal Mountain Dew has 54mg in the same volume. Yep, that slight bitter taste is caffeine! So, now you can kill yourself with MDX before you can even buy it. As the trend goes, Diet MDX has slightly more caffeine (87.5mg in 14oz). Both have been added to The Caffeine Database as well.
