I’ve not had the american mountain dew, but I heard it’s pretty different from the european one :3 the one here just tastes like citrusy soda… a bit like orange and lemon mix, if I had to place it I guess

Funny thing is we have a local soda here with the name that would translate as “dew” :3. I do prefer that one; especially the lime & cactus flavour

Never tried the European one but the one here tastes like a manufacturing precursor to battery acid

  As a fellow enjoyer of battery acid manufacturing precursors, I agree, it’s one of the better ones.

Lime & cactus sounds tasty. I love how sodas in other countries are more subdued yet still tasty, and the US is like “here’s 20 variations of antifreeze.”

  Honestly it’s even interesting for me to think of the sodas here as more subdued cause to me they’re all quite sweet and strong tasting lol :3 I have heard that from people who have sampled both though.
  
  Also on the note of antifreeze… it made me think of american fanta, which is an orange see-through liquid, and apparently doesn’t even really taste of oranges (?), meanwhile here in europe it’s a more opaque orangy yellow and is made with orange juice :3. I think it’s probably the easiest to see difference between all the sodas we have in both countries

    The US is notorious for making everything overly sweet. I avoid all of that stuff, with a couple exceptions. Europe seems to have some semblance of sanity and regulations when it comes to ingredients. Like the Fanta you described sounds amazing, but the US version is an occasional guilty pleasure for me (despite tasting nothing like true orange).

    It’s not something I’ve seen around where I live, but in some parts of europe you can also get something called orangina, which has more orange juice than fanta, and also orange pulp I think :3
