I rarely drink MD but I thought I would try a bottle of the Halo3 SE MD because I was feeling a little extreme today and figured what better way to shwo your extremeness than to put back a Doo. Well that shit tastes like spoiled cough syrup. Fucking nasty. I wish they would start canning that Baja Blast stuff from Taco Bell. I really do like that because it tastes good. FU MASTER CHEEF!!@@ ---

You mean that Mountaint Dew “Game Fuel” stuff? I love it! It tastes like liquid Nerds[sup] **TM** [/sup] candy. Not as good as LiveWire (which makes pretty good floats with orange sherbet), but much better than BajaBlast. Of course, the trick with any Mountain Dew is to drink it as cold as possible. Warm Mountain Dew is positively revolting. But a Mountain Dew slush from Kwik Trip is what I imagine a heroin trip must be like. ---

I always thought that mountain dew was for geeks that want to feel bad-ass, but in reality can’t extricate themselves from the deep impression they’ve warn into the living room sofa. ---

I actually like it best of all the Mountain Dews. Livewire is probably my least favorite. ---

Get off my grass you little hooligans!!! OK, so apparently I’m an old fogey now, cause last time I checked gnarly was a positive word (One associated with dropout surfy slang, true, but a positive description none the less.) So when exactly did this latest reversal of the meaning of a word go zooming by so quickly that I missed it? ---

Mountain Dew is Similac compared to [Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbxq0IDqD04) ! The fact that all the commentators want to buy it is left as an exercise to the viewer. ---

> [@Urban Dictionary](#): > > Contemporarily, “gnarley”, as used in Hawaii, means: (1) rugged, difficult, burley; or (2)nasty, rank, disgusting. Quite different from the stereotypical-SoCal-surfe r usage of the word. The typical positive usage is there too. Personally, I hate the taste of energy drinks. I was on a deadline for some work I was doing for someone and the amount of work that needed to be done required for me stay up from Monday thru until Friday. A pure liquid diet of fruit juices worked remarkably well for me. ---

Baja Blast is the best blue-green liquid you can pour into your body, and that includes Windex. Pepsi even somehow managed to get the color just right for maximum _psycoparathirst_ enjoyment. Not so much green as to feel like it’s some kind of healthy, herbal, homeopathic remedy, and just enough blue to make you feel like you’re drinking alien piss. It’s a mix of flavors that is greater than the sum of its parts, and adds up to something indescribable. The dichotomy being, you can only get it at Taco Bell. WTF. Bottle this shit, Pepsi. Sell it in gallons. And lose the “Baja Blast”, it sounds too pussy. Call it something like Holy Blue Fuck™. You drink enough, it makes your poop green. THAT’S what I call an energy drink. And yes, Halo 3 Game Fuel tastes like shit. It’s orange too. Pff. Orange. ---

The only thing the Mountain Dew family of drinks is good for is technicolor vomitting after consuming them during a bout of the flu or a bad hangover. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halo-3-mountain-dew-tastes-fucking-gnarly/423160.md?page=2)
