Mountain Dew has 86 mg of caffeine (per 591 mL) in Canada.Dew Fuel was only slightly more caffeinated than its successor, Mountain Dew Citrus Charge.See "Similar Flavors" in the infobox for more. Dew Fuel was one of many attempts at a Mountain Dew energy drink.It was the first time in Canada since 2007 that there was a caffeinated Dew on the shelves. Since there was a change in regulations, Mountain Dew products can now have caffeine, eliminating the need to market it as an energy drink. In 2012, there was a change to the formula of Mountain Dew, now called " Citrus Charge". In early 2007, Pepsi-QTG Canada cited that Dew Fuel was out of production. Because of these laws, Mountain Dew in Canada wasn't caffeinated, nor were flavors such as Code Red and Pitch Black. It was marketed as an energy drink and not as a soft drink, due to Health Canada regulations that only allow caffeine in 'dark-colored' soft drinks such as cola and root beer. There was also a sugar-free version with no sugar or calories.ĭew Fuel was released in Canada as "Mountain Dew Energy", or "Mountain Dew Energie" in French, in 2002 alongside a sugar-free version. And I’ll see you back here next time for another Dew Review.Dew Fuel was an energy drink version of Mountain Dew, with a caffeine content of 91 mg/591 mL (20oz). So, head out and get some for yourself before they’re gone. I’ve personally seen them at multiple grocery stores from multiple chains. This one’s for just being chill.Īll of the new Baja varieties are supposed to be on a generally wide release for the next couple months, at least here in the US. Other Dew flavors can be for slamming while doing X-Treme stuff like skateboarding or skydiving or something. Mango Gem feels like it’s meant to be sipped while lounging on a beach chair beside the pool. Of sitting on a beach, getting some sun, having a lazy afternoon. These are meant to be summertime flavors. I can appreciate that.Īll in all, I would have to say that this soda fits well with Gold. So, while it is an artificial mango flavor, it does try and bring in that element from a fresh mango-eating experience. I will say that, as the flavor gets to the finish, I do almost get a little bit of the peppery sort of notes a mango can often have. Others are much more rounded, coating around the sides of my tongue as I drink. Some Dew flavors are very sharp and acidic right at the end of my tongue. I will say that, like Gold, it’s a rather smooth Dew. If you’ve had any kind of mango candy, particularly any hard candy flavored to taste like mango, you’ve probably smelled this smell before.Īs for the taste, yeah, that’s also pretty much just straight-up artificial mango. The soda smells like artificial mango, straight-up. Though, since it came out at the same time as a soda called Gold, I can see why’d they’d want to differentiate between the two a bit more. So, orange seems like an interesting choice. The skin of a mango is green with often a sunburn of red on it. Sort of a soft peachy/orange type of thing. The soda’s very close to the color of the can. Phone doing that weird color correction thing again. Before I can taste the soda, I need to get to the pour. I’ve been known to just pick up one or two from the grocery store, get them cold, and peel and eat them like an apple. I like mango (and I don’t just mean The Click’s land-shark). And, I have to admit, it’s been since doing those reviews that I had most of those flavors. At least, that’s among the Dews that I’ve tried. We’ve had Energy Peach Mango Dawn and Kickstart’s Pineapple Orange Mango and Mango Lime. Mango is a flavor that Mountain Dew has used a couple of times, but always mixed with something else. That just means all we have left is Mango Gem. Along with the re-issue of Original Recipe Baja Blast and Baja Blast Zero in stores, we’ve also had Energy Baja Blast and Baja Gold. I’m finishing up the trio of new Baja-based flavors that Mountain Dew and PepsiCo have come out with this summer.
