Or is it just me who finds the concept of 'mystery flavor clear liquid' very unappealing?

My guess is Voo Dew tastes like Doo Dew.

thats just Brands getting rid of the stuff no one buys, so its always disgusting.

I mean, it's intended for kids as each year's mystery flavor is a different Halloween candy.

This explains so much for me.

The real question: is it better or worse than Oreo Coke?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 7 points 6 months ago

I tried this and to me it’s just kinda diet Dr. Pepper flavored.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

there's no way it could be worse than oreo coke

I miss Crystal Coke.

I enjoy trying limited time flavors (of various brands and product types) and mystery flavors are no exception. My wife likes to as well so we'll usually buy a single bottle to share and try. Despite liking the novelty it is pretty rare for me to leave the experience thinking, "I need to clear out the shelves before this goes away."

Most of the time, yes! I will avoid anything that’s clear because it makes my brain not want it. Unless, I’ve looked up the mystery flavor (in the case of a static mystery flavor).

Id roll with the concept but knowing its mountain dew it probably tastes like shit.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

Every bottle I've tried has tasted the same, but at worst, "okay".
