Halloween Mountain Dew

Ahh... The season is upon us. The higher-ups at Pepsi decided to bless the masses this season with the following, directly from their website:

VooDEW^® is a devilishly delicious new mystery flavor to help you get into the spirit of Halloween early.

Look at the above add.. amazing! I can't thank Pepsi Co. Enough for the effort they put into this. It brings a purple/green tear to my eye and makes the bats in my chest flutter. Excuse the effortless pun, but they are DEW-ing it right in my eyes. 

I found some 20 oz bottles at a local gas station, Maverick, followed by a 12 pack at Walmart. All this after spending the last 2 weeks periodically going out of my way to see if the "brickseek" UPC code I was using would yield results. 

After tasting some, it's quickly become my favorite after Baja Blast. I just wish it was zero sugar so I could drink it guilt free. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on what it tastes like and I love that! There's not a finite flavor announced yet, allowing people to really experience it! To me, it smells like Skittles. I catch hints of caramel, maybe candy corn and cotton candy. I think the intended flavor may just be a generic "candy" flavor. There's definitely a bit of a Surge aftertaste I pick up and I love it!

The can and box are the BEST thing about it. The color scheme of orange, black and yellow against a purple backdrop with an orange grim reaper tells me whoever created this really put some thought into it. It's definitely an official Halloween drink and it's only around for another 62 days from today. I honestly couldn't have thought of a nicer surprise to kick off my favorite season!
