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.

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

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.

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.

You haven’t mixed it with enough “shine”.

I remember when they were going to change the original coke formula. It was soon abandoned due to numerous contacts received from coke drinkers expressing their outrage.

That was before social media was even an idea. Start a social media campaign. If you don't do social media, perhaps you know someone who does. I'm sure their are plenty of others who imbibe on Mountain Dew who feel the same way.

Has the taste of anything else changed for you, too?

Aging will do that for some people, as will head trauma and other brain related issues, even an incomplete diet.

As others have said, it might be an indication of something more serious and worth paying attention to.

Honestly? The only things of value in a diet drink are the water and maybe the caffeine.

But as to the rest of that can full of chemistry? None for me, thanks. I quit! Almost anything is better than diet soda.

Coffee, for example, is much better for you. Mmmmm...fresh brewed, hot and delicious. Yum!

Plus, if you mix in some ground cocoa for even more antioxidants, and add some honey to taste if you like it sweeter, and you're doing your mind and body a favor.

Or go with tea if you don't like coffee, or just plain water...almost anything is better than diet soda.

Check the expiration date. Diet soda has a 90 day shelf life.

I changed my brand of vermouth and my martinis don’t taste the same.

I make it a rule to only drink adult beverages.

Over the years I’ve come to be somewhat of a Mt. Dew connoisseur... although I finally kicked the habit and don’t drink it anymore, I put away about 30 cans a week for many years. I noticed a difference in taste from one bottler to the next. Sometimes really subtle, sometimes not. When I switched to diet Mt Dew, I noted the taste differences were much more prominent than with regular. So it’s probably not your taste buds, you might try looking at where it was bottled and go get a case at a different store that may be a different bottler. I’m not sure how the distribution works so....
