From what I understand, the law is that no non-cola carbonated beverages are permitted. So, if you want caffeine and cherry without the syrupy feeling of a cherry cola, I'd recommend it.I still don't think it'll have caffeine in Canada, though. I thought it had a light fake cherry flavor that went much better with it's bitter caffeine undertones than its predecessor. Still don't like it.But, in the spirit of trying new beverages (Vitality Orange Soda, anyone?) I quaffed down a Code Red. It got so I thought I could feel it eating away at my stomach. First of all, I developed an aversion to "Classic" Dew in college. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Still waiting for when it's officially released nationwide, to see what kind of response it gets.Raz I've been happily chugging and sipping away at it. It's now been half an hour since then and I'm looking at the near empty bottle of the new "Mountain Dew: Code Red" (still sounds more like a game than a drink). Not as strong or robust as regular MD, a bit "smoother", with a faint cherry taste to it. Tilting it bottoms up towards the Heavens (read into that what you will) the cold liquid washes over my tongue and partially fills my mouth.Standing there, alone in the lounge, swishing the code red around in my mouth, tasting it as if it were fine wine, the first impression dawns upon me: "hm.it's ok". When I passed him and looked back, I saw "Make 7" on the front, which made me laugh out loud).Twisting the cap off to the sound of escaping carbonation, I gaze at the scarlet liquid for a brief moment before tentatively lifting the bottle to my mouth. The back of his shirt said "Up Yours" in bold lettering, which made me do a double take. Seems as red, if not a bit deeper in color, as cherry 7-Up (tangential moment: Earlier this week, while in my car, I noticed a guy walking along the sidewalk with his back turned to me. Taking the bottle from the machine, I immediately notice: well, it's, er, red. After a few seconds of the usual rumbling noises, which sound a bit more ominous than normal I think, to be heard from within the vast machine, I look down to see a red bottle cap protruding from the open chute. With a slight bit of trepidation and a quick look around to see that I am still totally alone, which means if something happens to me no one will witness it, I press the "Code Red" button (which now sounds like a panic alarm system). These are the 20 oz plastic bottles at a buck a piece, btw.In slides my crisp one dollar bill. Pibb, one for bottled water, and now, one for M CR. On this machine we have: two slots for Pepsi, three(!) slots for regular MD, one for Diet Pepsi, one for Mr. It looks just like the regular green MD label, only it's red with the extra two words attached. But, back to the new Pepsi machine.Gone is the handwritten note proclaiming that we now are the proud carriers of "code red" (sounds like we're diseased, no?) and in it's place is a professional color label. I swear I see a roach dart underneath one of the machines. we still have the same crappy snack vending machine, and c. We've got a whole new Pepsi vending Machine, 2. As I enter the room, I immediately notice three things. It's "reading day" here at the university, the single dead day after classes officially end but before finals officially begin, so it's pretty quiet here. What follows is my account of my first experience with that which is known as "Code Red", which I still think is a title more befitting a game than a soft drink, but I digress.So I walk down to the first floor lounge. Ok, I finally gave in to the urge and gave it a shot.

I just wanted to give a subjective description of my findings (not very objective huh?).Nuf said. ![]() ![]() did I just say that? Sorry guys, but I usually am not SO descriptively graphic with my words, and I do not talk this way. I am still reminded of the "piss-colored" regular MD, but now it looks like the kind of "piss" that one gives at the hospital when they have kidney stones! Gawd. I like lime with my lemon) is Fresca (with tequila, lol).I went to the Mountain Dew website and had a peep at the looks of the stuff, and yeh. I agree with a few others that MD (not to be confused with MD 20-20) is a poor substitute for 7-Up (Yours) and a more "sophisticated" lemon-lime (yeh.
