My parents are addicted to Diet Mt. Dew. It’s insane. And if it tasted good, maybe that would be understandable. The problem is that it has always tasted like antifreeze (or how I would expect antifreeze to taste)…just barely good enough to make me try it once in a while, but still nasty enough to make you want to induce vomitting.

I saw that the Mt. Dew people have a new marketing spin on their antifreeze. They said they changed the formula to give it a “tuned up taste.” I figured it was worth trying. Plus, I hadn’t had any antifreeze in a while. So I grabbed a 20-ounce when I was at a local stop-n-rob recently.

I was shocked. It actually tasted good…and not the “antifreeze” kind of good. I’m not nuts over it so much that I’ll buy it in bulk (like my parents), but it’s a nice change from the old nasty antifreeze flavor.
