Look into a medical reason, too. Taste-changes are warning signs.

Ditto what Laz said.

Find a neurologist.

While I used to similarly enjoy Diet Mountain Dew years ago...it contains chemicals that are just far too toxic to the human body.
The drink is fluorescent green for crying out loud.
Getting myself weaned off of that soda was one of the best behavior changes I ever made. Coffee is a safer alternative if you wish the rush.

Knockoff mountain dew?

The Red Bull rep told me how to spot fake Red Bull a few years back. It’s not a problem where I live, but some places brand name food/beverage knockoffs are.

I think knockoff baby formulas are another big one, and can do real harm to infants.

I have maybe one Pepsi or RC a year and only at an outdoor BBQ and then only one. I am completely free of soda and television. Best thing Ive ever done. Love every second of it. Going on three happy years.

I refuse to drink stuff that looks like antifreeze or windex.

Sounds like a disgruntled employee with a bladder infection to me.

Yes, but why would a bottle bought from the supermarket taste different?

A little whiz goes a long way if you hit the right tank.

my father worked for 7 up for over 30 years. Based on what he told me and what I saw with my own eyes, I haven’t had a soft drink of any brand or flavor in over 40 years. It’s all poisoned, liquid candy.

Once in a blue moon, I’ve gotten a 12-pack box of soda pop in which it’s apparent some ingrediant/flavoring is missing. Like a bad batch that somehow got through. It’s happened to me with Mountain Dew a few years ago, and once with Hire’s Root Beer about a decade ago.

I find the Mountain Dew “throwback,” which utilizes sugar (like it used to, pre-1980 or so) is far preferable. Same with Dr. Pepper. I find the difference quite striking.

That is an excellent, pragmatic, and healthy strategy, FRiend! :-)

Look for the Mountain Dew made with sugar. The new Dewshine is also made with sugar.

Are you sure you didn’t get one of the flavored Mountain Dews?

Regular Mt Dew is my ‘coffee’ every morning.
I have noticed no change in the regular stuff.

Last Mountain Dew I had was back in the 60s.
