Mountain Dew - LiveWire Review

I can remember the exact moment when I first tried Mountain Dew LiveWire in Summer of 2003 when they released it as a special summer-only promotion.  I actually tried it first in Slurpee form.  I love Orange sodas, and I love Mountain Dew, so when I saw the two combined I had to try it. 

I drank LiveWire ALL Summer long anytime I could in both Slurpee form and regular form.  Everytime I drank, I felt a lot more energized than I ever felt with regular Mountain Dew.  It only has 1 mg more of Caffiene so I don't think that is the reason.  It also has the same amount of sugar so I really don't know why I feel the extra jolt after drinking this.  Perhaps it is the orange juice that goes into it.

The Flavor of Mountain Dew LiveWire is excellent. Although I love the new Supernova flavor, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the LiveWire flavor.  I am like Kel from Keanen and Kel - I love orange soda, especially when it has a little caffiene.  I've read statements saying it taste just like other orange sodas, but I have to argue that it tastes better.  Besides, it has Orange Juice in it so at least you have a little health benefit there.

This is one of the only flavors of Mountain Dew that tastes nothing like Mountain Dew.  While Supernova and Code Red both still have the Mountain Dew vibe, LiveWire is completely different.  There's a reason they brought it back after the Summer of 2003 - because of people like me who were begging for it!  The day they stopped selling it I went nuts trying to find it.  Once it came back, I was able to drink it randomly and get my "fix" without having it every week.  Look for LiveWire and LiveWire Slurpees today!  Enjoy!
