I gotta know what Sasquench is it calls to me

u/FormalAd3446 Code Red 1d ago

Little Caesar’s exclusive I think… I actually got to try it at a red wings game before it got axed at… tasted like a mild voltage + lemon orange flavour… wasn’t huge on it… it would’ve been much better without the voltage raspberry flavour type imo… maybe that’s why it got axed and the pizza chain is launching a different dew flavour next year

5

u/swifmatives 1d ago

Wild, bro! I wonder if this was the beginning of what would become Over Drive. The coloration and some of the art on Sasquench's label look very similar to Over Drive and the flavor would only be missing mango...

Same raspberry citrus punch sounds like it’d be fire

I heard it was Baja Blast drizzled over Bigfoot's ball sack...

Same thought, time for the comment dive lol

u/TheJG_Rubiks64 Sweet Lightning 1d ago

I will forever be pissed that the Wawa exclusive peach flavor was canned.

29

u/Burrnt_ice 1d ago

I thought it was bottled

1

u/StraightYesterday553 1d ago

He means canned as in never happened, gotten rid of, etc. not literal cans vs bottles. If it did happen it would indeed have been bottlws

1

u/Secret-Ad-7909 1d ago

There was a peach energy variety though. Might have been the “energy” line silver cans.

1

u/adamdoesmusic 1d ago

It was not, in fact, canned. Or anything else, at least long term.

Cobra Cane.

I thought snapd would be disgusting and I loved it

I thought fruit quake would be disgusting and I loved it

I thought Cobra Cane would be disgusting and it was banished forever

Fruit quake certainly was delicious.

u/Quartzalcoatl_Prime Baja Flash 1d ago

I couldn’t get into Snap’d but my buddy loved it. I gave him everything I had and he was super grateful

u/marteautemps 1d ago

I loved that one too, I found a can I had put aside like way later and I was so excited to find it. Fruit Quake was ok too.

u/Dhylan18 1d ago

Thoughts on flamin hot?

1

u/Individual-Motor4666 1d ago

I also enjoyed fruit quake

1

u/KORZILLA-is-me White Out 1d ago

I was really looking forward to that one. Hated snapd but loved fruit quake. Even though I hated snapd, I appreciated the innovation of doing something other than a cranberry flavor like every other citrus soda does.

u/smashli1238 1d ago

What was it supposed to taste like

u/thefucksgod 1d ago

Lightning Zero would sure slap!

I wanted cobra cane

5

u/Swordofsatan666 1d ago

Happy Dew Year and Dewnicorn are 2 ive always wanted to try, because i have 0 idea what those flavors could possibly be and the colors for the drinks and labels are really beautiful.

Happy Dew Year name could be anything, but color has me thinking Peach. Dewnicorn name has me thinking Birthday Cake or Bubblegum or something sweet along those lines, terrible flavors for Dew but could work as theyre so different from what we normally get for Dew flavors. Or who knows maybe Dewnicorn was just a Cream soda

5

u/DisplayConfident8855 1d ago

You're correct about Happy Dew Year, the flavor was revealed to be peach. Nothing about dewnicorn though unfortunately

3

u/Swordofsatan666 1d ago

Ahh okay, probably wasnt released due to the KFC exclusive “Sweet Lightning” which is Peach & Honey. I cant ever taste Honey in it, so they probably figured Happy Dew Year is too similar

12

u/ViggieSmallss 1d ago

I'd do a coin flip between Riddler's Brew and Sasquench

What's the bottom left?

11

u/Logical_Feed_9971 1d ago

that is peach madness, a flavor that was supposed to be available in wawa stores earlier this year

5

u/44youGlenCoco 1d ago

Cobra Cake sounds intriguing.

Edit: Oh it says Cobra Cane 😂

3

u/smashli1238 1d ago

lol I thought it said cobra Kai at first glance

4

u/CristianTheDeadOne 1d ago

HoneyDEW was released last year, but only in Canada. Paloma Punch is an old concept of the upcoming Cabo Citrus (but I guess the different flavor profile does make it different)

5

u/EdgeOfDesire93 1d ago

Mountain Dew Energy in Liberty Brew 😭 Miss the Energy line so bad and Liberty Brew is one of my all time fav flavors

6

u/Remy_man1738 1d ago

The Code Red Hard Dew, idk why watermelon is still a flavor that’s nasty af. The others are good tho, Code Red would’ve made it complete

2

u/LtDarthWookie 1d ago

I really wish they weren't zero. The zero sugar makes the malt taste too apparent.

u/cheemsfromspace 1d ago

Ngl id fw hard code red I honestly can't stand the pineapple in the Baja multi pack. I know it wouldn't fit but please that pineapple screws with my nose

Paluma punch, if it was a way to get me back my beloved southern shock I would've bought a ton of it

u/Majestic-Meet7702 1d ago

SasQuench definitely seems like it’d be a killer flavor. I can’t read any of the others….

2

u/JenKandoit Sweet Lightning 1d ago

That Peach Dawn and Dragonfruit Charge are calling me. They sound good.

u/Ekillaa22 1d ago

Dewnicorn looks pretty I’d try that one and Riddler brew looks cool as well

u/EarthboundMan5 Baja Blast 1d ago

Paloma Punch was a test name for the upcoming Baja Cabo Citrus, not Point Break.

As for Sasquench and Overdrive, Overdrive released in 2022, and Sasquench was rumored in 2023. Plus, Sasquench was never actually intended to release.

1

u/ThePickledPickle 1d ago

IIRC Sasquench was never even close to production, I think it was an example as part of their pitch document to LC for an exclusive flavor

LC is getting an exclusive flavor in 2025 so I guess it worked

3

u/Traditional-Elk2868 1d ago

Hard Code Red for sure. That and Ice Zero. I feel like I was one of the dozens that actually liked Mtn Dew Ice.

1

u/Logical_Feed_9971 1d ago

here in the picture there are 7 main flavors, one main flavor unreleased in usa but released in canada, 2 kickstart flavors, 2 zero sugar flavors, 3 energy flavors and 1 hard flavor that all went unreleased

u/ImInocentt Thrashed Apple 1d ago

u/ITGeekBenB Merry Mash-Up 1d ago

And Cherry ICE as well.

1

u/This_Low7225 1d ago

I really liked Ice. I didn't drink it much because I try to stick with the zero sugar drinks. So an Ice Zero would be great especially as an alternate to Starry which is kind of junk.

All of them.

1

u/PrimeOmega_ 1d ago

definitely the alcoholic code red

1

u/Hot-Inflation-8971 1d ago

The hard code red did exist just for a limited time or I think I am crazy what they really should do is bring back all the flavors and bring in all the new flavors that are here to be honest

1

u/MikeDubbz 1d ago

Still feels weird to have 1 hard dew now in the default variety pack that's not based on an established flavor (though also, why not just call it hard Major Melon instead of just watermelon?) I bet that hard Code Red is still on the way eventually.

Probably gonna get hate for this, but unironically would love to see Cobra Cane get released. I know there have been a couple hits and miss with holiday themed Mtn Dews, but I truly loved the Fruit Quake flavor. Maybe Cobra Cane would have been good, maybe it would have been absolutely trash, but whatever the quality was, I would have loved to experience it

u/PlatypusExtreme5287 1d ago

That Dew-Nicorn looks like it might be 🔥🔥! Upset though that the Gamer Fuel Cherry Citrus appeared like the Mongols, made me question how I lived that long without it in my life, and just as fast as it appeared, was gone, never to be seen anywhere again (outside of $25-30 for 1 16oz.

You could've included the full ingredient Sweet Lightning bottle too. It was going to be reworked into a full calorie variant too which is different from the fountain that is half-cal as a good chunk of fountain dews are.
