FROGGY'S DEW RESUME

Apparently @MountainDew snuck a repeat in amongst the new 4th of July flavors… Full review for #LibertyChill here: [link to this page]

Yesterday, a coworker and I were discussing my Mountain Dew obsession, and she asked me a question I’d never gotten before: “Do all of those flavors really taste different?” I told her yes (with mild caveats). Apparently I jinxed myself, because today I experienced my first repeat flavor.

In this review, I’m going to be talking about Liberty Chill… or so it calls itself now. For those who read my reviews on Freedom Fusion and Star Spangled Splash, this is the remaining 4th of July Dew that I randomly found at Tractor Supply last weekend.

I had my suspicions about this flavor because of its similarities to a previous 4th of July Dew, Liberty Brew. Not only were the names oddly close, but both Dews were also described as being “50 flavors in one.” My curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to Google it. Turns out, my gut was right— Liberty Chill is just the new name for Liberty Brew.

That being said, I don’t think I ever wrote a review for Liberty Brew back when I first tasted it several years ago, so I’m gonna go ahead and do a write-up now anyway.

Liberty Brew/Chill tastes like a gummy candy factory melted down all their leftovers and turned them into a soda. There’s definitely some blue raspberry in there, but with a whole lot of random mixed in with it, so the “50 flavors in one” tagline is pretty believable.

It’s good, but it’s not great. It’s a fairly decent Dew on its own, but the fact that it was released (or rather, re-released) alongside Freedom Fusion and Star Spangled Splash didn’t do it any favors. Both of those Dews absolutely knock this one out of the park. Between that and the fact that Liberty Chill is not as new as it’s pretending to be, drinking it was an underwhelming experience, even though it’s not a bad Dew.

If you like gummy worms, you will probably like Liberty Chill. It’s not one of my favorites, and it would probably work better as a fruit snack than a soda, but it’s still worth trying.
