Mountain Dew White Out is not awesome. But it's not too bad either. The soapy dishwater-colored flavor is light, citrusy, and mellow… but those characteristics are probably what will lead to its demise. Think of a combination of Squirt, Mello Yello, and perhaps a sugar-infused Fresca with caffeine. However, as a DEWmocracy 2 flavor, White Out is just not unique enough to be considered something that the marketplace will support alongside the other Mtn Dew options. It's safe. It's bland. It's underwhelming.

Mountain Dew Distortion is 1 of 3 flavors that are part of the DEWmocracy 2 campaign. We feel it's the least tasty of the 3, possessing a very fake, syrupy flavor that probably can best be described as melted lime Jell-O that just happens to be carbonated… however, if you are a Green River fan, you may be surprised!

With the candied taste of liquid Smarties or SweeTarts, Honest Ade Cranberry Lemonade is a light, flavorful drink that surpasses the previously-reviewed Limeade flavor. It finishes clean with a slight hint of sour, making Cranberry Lemonade a good accompaniment to food or as a solid standalone drink.

Drinking Sprite Green is like experiencing a gruesome amusement park ride of flavor doom! The aftertaste is the culprit, sneaking up on you with a non-food flavor, almost like you accidentally swallowed hair spray. Given that this drink has a stevia-powered aftertaste, maybe I wasn't expecting exactly what my mouth was saying… which was pretty much, "what did you just do to me?"

Honest Ade Limeade could be used as a thirst quencher on a hot day or a refreshing boost while playing sports. The flavor is really not the main focus here, however. It's a strong drink, but we'd like to see a bit more sweetness in this drink.

Pepsi is rolling out a new flavor of Sierra Mist called Sierra Mist Ruby Splash. Available in both regular and diet versions, it's described as as a "unique flavor combination of lemon, lime and a splash of ruby grapefruit". Could this be Pepsi's answer to Ruby Red Squirt?

Ski is a decent citrus-flavored soda, noted for its inclusion of "lemon and orange juice concentrates" which gives it a claim as a "naturally flavored citrus soda." However, the disappointing aftertaste and lack of any real kick inhibits its ability to compete with Sundrop, Dew, or Vault.
