MTN DEW® Major Melon Dew you dare to take watermelon favor to the extreme This new Big Gulp® drink does just that with a distinct watermelon flavor and that added Dew twist. It doesn’t help that this is a 20-ounce bottle. I’m not much for artificial watermelon flavor anyway (Jones Crushed Melon was solid, but that was more cantaloupe/honeydew than watermelon), and the sharpness of the fizz is really off-putting here. I never would’ve thought of adding melon to Dew, and there’s a reason for that. So it’s got that heaviness, but it’s not the same kind of sweetness – it’s aspartame instead of HFCS – and then you add in the fake melon flavor on top of that…it’s a lot for my palate to cope with.Īll that said…it’s not very good.

Once frozen, add the mixture back to your blender with a little more of the Mountain Dew to help it blend. Add the blended mixture to a freezer safe container or tray.

In any case, when I found a bottle of Major Melon Dew in the Zero Sugar variant – Dew has a ridiculous amount of sugar even for a mainstream soda – I decided to add it to my lineup. Product Dimensions : 15.8 x 4.9 x 5.2 inches 10.38 Pounds. ![]() I’m not sure if there’s been a great deal of hype around Mountain Dew’s (I’m sorry, “Mtn Dew’s”) newest variant, but then again, I haven’t had my finger on the pulse of soda culture as tightly as I would like of late. ![]()
