There's a rare oddity that comes in a 1 liter called wink. I only ever saw it in virginia. It's apple, orange, and grapefruit, and fucking delicious. I think squirt is as close as I can get to it.
Ya... I don't care for MTN DEW.... not anymore. it was "the cool thing" as a kid, but it's not that good. Now, Pitch Black variant, or Taco Bell's Sangrita Blast, is delicious, and I would happily accept a LiveWire or Voltage.
@Felix Nombert: Yeah the color of the bottle is a little darker than the can in the comic but the actual liquid when poured into a clear glass is just a bright lemon yellow. http://mountaindew.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dq-drinks-soft-mtdew.png like that
Also, for best experience, remember to cool it down to almost freezing. I find that helps a lot with the taste.
Also, since MD was developed to mix with alcohol, it's good with sour and bitter stuff.

Jo, they sell Dr. Pepper in a candy store at Bairro Liberdade, in São Paulo. I don't know if you live anywhere near there, but its the only place here in Brazil that i found it.
Dr. Pepper is nectar of the Gods, but for a true soft drink experience you need to get your hands on some Cheer Wine. Best cherry soda on the planet. But uh, good luck finding it outside of the southeastern US...maybe you could order some on Amazon or something.
Jo, if you get the chance you should at least try Diet Mt Dew. It actually tastes better than the regular version. And if you find any, Code Red and Whiteout are also pretty good. Stay away from Live Wire though. Like Ann said, that flavor is pretty much radioactive piss...

@Nathan Piper: I'm American and drink Dew all the time, it is green as hell. All the offshoot flavors have different colors, but the flagship is definitely green. Like, a little darker green than the top half of that can in the comic.
Dr Pepper is horrible, you shouldn't listen to these losers.
That said, try Diet Mountain Dew. I know, I know, it's not as hardcore, but I think it has a legit better taste then normal Dew. If you can find it, also try to get Baja Blast Mountain Dew, it's pretty top tier.
@Raxyz: Those were the goods days... Now ANYTHING you can find in France gonna give you cancer or make your body unable to decompose... Just like every other country...
@Shareazu: It has its own unique flavor. According to a Reddit post I found, it's a mix of about 23 different flavors, including black licorice, root beer, and cola. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1z8wxx/what_are_the_23_flavors_in_dr_pepper/cfs0oaj
I've went to France a couple years ago through a college study trip. It's funny because NOTHING there has any artificial coloring, conservers or any other kind of artificial stuff. Even soft drinks, most of them are almost transparent. Tastes really good though.
Water on the other hand...
I once saw a news story on Mountain Dew, and the effect it had on hillbillies that drank pretty much nothing but it. The people had holes in their teeth. I have never been able to drink more than a glass of it, before I remember and start getting paranoid.
what's this Dr pepper supposed to taste like anyway? So far, people here in the comments have said that it tastes like almonds, cough syrup, and now, grape pepsi...
From what I remember Dr Pepper tastes like cough syrup. Also you should try Japanese soft drinks as they have soft drinks from fermented milk to melon to cucumber. I will warn you beforehand that Ramune is a not very remarkable drink, it's main selling point is the cool bottle.
@Felix Nombert: In the states here it's yellow, primarily because the main four ingredients are carbonated water, orange juice, sugar and citrus oils. So yeah yellow like watered down orange juice.
Even the UK version of Dew is still yellow even though the use different coloring because reasons.
Dr. Pepper Master Race, Jo. Also, Sprite is the superior citrus soft drink.
I suppose this means that if you were given the choice, you'd also have asked for the crab juice. (/Simpsons reference)
I was on a construction site a few years ago a saw someone piss into a mountain dew 2 litre bottle, I didn't think much of it until about 30 minutes later I turned the corner and seen someone else drinking from that very bottle. I have not touched it since.
Yeah Mountain Dew does look like an unhealthy green drink. But it is a lot better then Surge. Surge was a MtD killer(according to coke) and a must have drink back in the late 90's that had more carbonation and sugar then MtD.
Once had a friend who commented about the word 'Dew' which was water found on plants due to water evaporation or something. Then he gave me a question: If you find dew when it hasn't rained for several days and no where near any water sources, then where did it come from? The answer: Animal piss.
Well I did like the flavours of Horde and Alliance gamer fuel Mountain Dew the fact that after a few cans (out of a case) I always piss purple really concerned me.
I'm not really a crazy Mountain Dew person, but IMO the best Dew is definitely Voltage, and Dew tastes better out of a can (idk why but I can NOT drink it out of a bottle). Also Code Red tastes like a fucking throat cold, why do people like it?
