Sometimes I get in the mood for mountain dew, especially code red mountain dew. It was my friend during many final exam study weeks. I've never been a constant soda drinker, though I went through a stage when I lived in Central America because all of the cokes were made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. I'm much more likely to drink milk, water, juice, coffee, and tea now. However, I've recently had the urge for that code red flavor. I bought a pack but realized I was drinking it too often and that the sugar overload was giving me a headache. (It's not the caffeine. I tend to drink caffeine on occasion to help my migraines.) I bought the diet variety but no one really LIKES the diet aftertaste.
We tend to buy the simply orange juice at our house but the other day we decided to try the variety with added mango juice. I had just poured myself a glass when I remembered that I had already opened a can of diet code red mountain dew. Enter: Strange idea. I'm sure someone has done this before, but it was an original idea to me. I mixed the OJ and soda together. After all, mountain dew already has a citrusy flavor. The end result was rather tasty and it masked the diet flavor. The OJ does add some calories to the calorie-free diet soda, but it also adds some vitamins, so I'd say it's a fair trade.
