Mountain Dew Supernova is More Like a Pleasant Sunset

The next of the new Dews I sampled was the pinkish Supernova. The strawberry melon infused Dew looks tasty, and it is pretty sweet. But I disagree with the Supernova name. There’s nothing explosive with this drink. It’s tame and easy just like a pleasant sunset. Reminded me of strawberry soda jacked with ginseng and cranked with caffeine.

Overall I liked the Supernova better than the Revolution though I don’t think the Supernova targets the right demographic for Doing the Dew. It’s visually nice to look at but not edgy and hardcore keeping with the image of Mountain Dew. But it could be a good entry drink for non-Dew drinkers. The sweetness has a quick palate appeal then the caffeine takes hold – now you’re hooked.

Mountain Dew Revolution, It is Not

I sampled one of the new Dews the other day, partaking of the wild berry Revolution. A revolution it is not. At first sip, I didn’t care too much for the wild berry flavor, but then again, I’m not a fan of wild berries even in Pop Tart form.

I didn’t finish the 20-oz Revolution in one sitting, but it did taste better the second time around. Still can’t beat the classic Mountain Dew.

Three Years of Club 939

,

Can it be? Three years already? What started off as a crazy business venture is still going strong as Club 939 is about to celebrate its third anniversary. Join Francine Dee on Thursday, June 26 for a “Menage A Trois” at Hawaii’s Hottest Gentlemen’s Club.

Let’s reflect momentarily and take a quick look back… By now you must have one of 939’s calendars, right? Maybe even one that’s personalized for Pulpconnection? Have you been to 939’s new web site? Of course, you know the talent of 939 and their favorite drinks and hobbies. No? Then get thee to a nunnery strippery!

Liveblogging Drinking a Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee in a Can

,

While at a Starbucks the other day, I noticed they were selling their Doubleshot Energy+Coffee drinks in a can. This “premium energy coffee drink” comes in vanilla or mocha and is around $3 for 15 oz (200 Calories per can).

So after a long, long week shackled to PowerPoint and tied up in practice sessions, why not indulge but also share the experience with the fans of pulp, passions, addictions, and young man candy.

I give you a live blog rundown as I partake of some coffee, B vitamins, guarana, and ginseng.

  • 12:18 drink is chilled and ready to go, giving it a good shake
  • 12:19 too much shaking, drink erupts when opening it. Good thing I had it covered. Foamy top.
  • 12:20 very mocha-y, reminds me of the Coco Puffs cereal? Can’t quite make out the espresso shot flavor
  • 12:21 the mocha overwhelms the coffee flavor. The little Doubleshot canned drink has more of a punch to it though is more rough on the stomach
  • 12:25 caffeine or thought of the caffeine rush is kicking in as I try to multitask a bunch of things. Oh, another IM message…
  • 12:29 must check email again, update RSS feeds, oh, another IM message…
  • 12:31 feeling some stomach pangs from all the stimulants. Where’s some water? Oh, another IM message…
  • 12:34 eating a candy bar to help fill the stomach
  • 12:36 now the Doubleshot taste is way off after the sweetness of the candy
  • 12:48 feeling the jitters or maybe it’s because I’m using a Windows machine
  • 2:23 still going. got to pee.

That’s it. Liveblogging is done. I doubt I’ll buy this drink again, but I will try vanilla to see if that one is better.

New Dews

,

New Dew
New Dew
Found the new Mountain Dew flavors that are competing to be the next official Dew. They are the Supernova (strawberry melon), the Voltage (raspberry citrus), and the Revolution (wild berry). Besides all the caffeine in these drinks, these new Dews are packed with Ginseng too.

According to the Dew-Mocracy voting site, Hawaii prefers the Voltage followed closely by the Revolution.

Vote for Voltage

Father’s Day 2008

This past Father’s Day featured swimming at the recently opened Mililani rec center and a trip to a very crowded Cold Stone featuring a 2-for-1 special. Here’s a picture of a shorter line that was out the doorway.
