this has been a big fail, has anybody actually gotten their hands on this yet?
Drinking a bottle right now ;D Hoping to get permission to do a competition/raffle where people can win a 12 pack. We'll see how it plays out :)
How did you get it? ^
I ordered 12 cans off www.americansoda.co.uk - It was £18, bit of a rip but we'll see.
Yeah that's defiantly a rip off, i ordered 8 2L bottles for £2 more from somewhere before lol.
Still steep £20 for bottles of pop though, can't wait to it somewhere round here.
I got one from my local bp and at first it taste like normal lemonade but then its like different, hard to explain buts its quite nice, not sure how it differs from the version in US as i've never tried it but its quite good it was £1 btw.
Many people have got their hands on it according to the comments left on the facebook profile. Although I do have to agree the launch has been some sort of crap, it should of be launched in a ton of stores on the first week at least. I'm still waiting for them too announce it has reached other stores.Quote:

Won't American Soda be the proper American stuff though, rather than this energy drink they're giving us?
yeah it is. just a tad more expensive.Quote:

might have another look round tomorrow for some.

For your information I did not order it from AmericanSoda. I bought it from an eBay seller for far cheaper who lives less than 30 minutes from me.
That's the lamest reaction I've seen to a bit of banter in a long time.Quote:

So has anyone been able to compare the original Mountain Dew to the new Mountain Dew Energy yet anyway? :P
I had a bottle of each the other day and i can barely taste the difference. I think people are making a big deal out of it all like 'Ohh it tastes rubbish compared to the American version'.
Lies, tastes almost identical :) .. IMO anyway.
What does it actually taste like? :L
Friend who runs a shop bulk ordered some and gave me three bottles today. You can definitely taste the Mountain Dew, the taste isn't quite as sweet though and there's more of a lemony taste. So to conclude, it's good but not as good as normal Mountain Dew, well worth buying however.
Tbh i personally think it taste of lemonade, but £1 a bottle so you cant really go wrong.
******* THIS ********
i still havent seen any :'(
that's probably because it is lemonade.Quote:

I found it yesterday and bought 10 bottles lol.
Its definetly different from the U.S. version, its more like Limeade, but its still pretty good :)
When I had it in New York I thought it was kind of like lemon & lime / Lilt, but nice. I hate Lilt itself.
they got mountain dew energy in my local "corner" shop :)
Wootzeh that was the first 12 cans, I bought the rest from www.yankeesoda.co.uk - It is far cheaper for me because the seller lives a 20 minute drive away.
I ordered 6 cans of Mountain Dew Voltage and it came today. Cant say I like it too much.
On friday my mate said its in sainsburys all over uk now, is this true?
Well the official facebook group has/had a page that said they were starting to sell it in bp garages, then slowly rolling it out to rs mccolls and martins newspaper shops, then sainsburys, so it might be in some of them, but whether theyre in every uk store or not is a bit doubtful.Quote:
