For those of you out of the beverage loop, Mountain Dew just completed its second summer of Dewmocracy! Three new flavors were sold in stores for a limited time and then voted on by Dew Aficionados such as myself. The first Dewmocracy winner was the indigo-tinted flavor called Voltage that is in stores as we speak.
This year we had three new flavors to contend with:
Distortion - Lime Blasted Dew
Typhoon - Punch of Tropical Dew
Whiteout - Smooth Citrus Dew
I voted for Distortion this year. The lime was very present and it was quite refreshing.
I liked Typhoon enough but it seemed to me to be the incestuous offspring of LiveWire and Code Red.
Whiteout was white. It didn't quite taste like chalky soda but it might as well have.
Alas, since this post is about a month late to the party, the official results having been released on June 15th, we here at BW are saddened with the outcome.
Whiteout was victorious with 44% of the vote. Typhoon had 40% and Distortion a disappointing 16%. If Distortion was a Central American futbol player he was probably shivved in a bar fight by a broken Dos Equis beer bottle the weekend following his return home.
For the official tally go HERE. It's actually worth it to see a state-by-state (AND county-by-county) breakdown! Thank you, Oklahoma, for valiantly trying to put Distortion on the store shelves. The Ol' Okie Doke just wasn't enough this time around...

This election upset me almost as much as Bush v. Gore.
Distortion never stood a chance. But in my heart it did. RIP Lime D.
