I recently heard that a certain Mountain Dew flavor was being discontinued, but it was a regional exclusive that I hadn’t tried yet, so I turned to the Internet to see if I could get it online. Not only was my quest successful, but I also ended up finding a couple other exclusives that I hadn’t gotten my hands on yet. This is one of the extras I found.
This feller here is called Purple Thunder, and is described as being a "berry plum" flavor. It’s a Circle K exclusive, and to be honest I have no idea if we even have a Circle K nearby. I don’t really like ordering Dew online because it’s always so much more expensive, but I think this time was worth it.
I don’t taste very much plum in this flavor, but I definitely taste the berry. It’s more of a candy berry or a fruit snack berry than actual berry though, so it makes my sweet tooth very happy. It doesn’t have the bite that Voltage does, but it’s still an excellently crafted berry Dew. I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to.
Thank you, Internet!!!
