Most of them have too much sugar and I simply don&#8217;t like drinking them. This one caught my eye. I don&#8217;t dislike the classic Mountain Dew. I use it as a tool, it&#8217;s got a ton of sugar and caffeine. I&#8217;ll drink one if I need the immediate sugar and energy. In fact a Mountain Dew saved my life once. I was on a 40 mile bike ride and was starting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=bonk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bonk<\/a>. I was feeling desperate, exhausted and horrible at about mile 35. I stumbled into a convenience store hoping to find something to help myself. I felt like Indiana Jones, I knew I had to choose wisely. I didn&#8217;t know whether to choose food or a drink. I choose a Mountain Dew. Almost instantly I felt better. So good in fact that I led my group of riders home.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this is not bad as far as soft drinks go. I would choose it over the classic simply because it has less sugar. The taste is good. It&#8217;s lemon lime, similar to a 7up or Sprite type drink. It scores 3.5, but compared to other soft drinks it gets a 4.0 if I&#8217;m grading on a curve. To give you an idea of how slowly I consume this type of drink. I&#8217;ve been drinking the same bottle now for 5 days. Also, since everything I like gets canceled or discontinued, I&#8217;m positive Mountain Dew Ice won&#8217;t catch on.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetener: Sugar, 41grams (20 oz bottle)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sugar11p.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-103\" src=\"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sugar11p.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"136\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/rating35.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-446\" src=\"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/rating35.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"39\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":740,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687\/revisions\/740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ber10thal.com\/beverage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
