Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Charged Tropical Strike Review

Round two for the new Mtn Dew AMP crossover, Charged Tropical Strike does few things right on the yellow and black design. The color split is an interesting display, and the half-textured can breathes a bit of life into the overly textured cans of other drinks today- but sheesh, there is too much going on! Text zips across in every direction, some italicized, some easy to read and some shoved in the bottom's wall of words.

After still stumbling with the needlessly distinct way of cracking open the can, the experience is a familiar one, dare I say tasting as if they just canned the overstock of Game Fuel Tropical Smash from a few years prior. Five percent of juice? It is just from white grapes, a disappointment considering the tastes of pineapple and orange hold a monopoly of the flavor. They lack the punch they could have had the potable contained juice for the sake of flavor and to gloat "contains juice!" Sweetness, from high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, and ace-k, is a functioning but commercial aspect of every sip, never letting the slight earthy yerba mate flavor become its own, or the fruit's inherit acidity to drink as anything more than a muted glimmer of personality.

Containing just ninety milligrams of caffeine, the kick to a drink that promotes itself with the words "charged" and fuel" is shocking dull, lasting an hour, perhaps an hour and a half. Ginseng, guarana, vitamin A and B vitamins also make an appearance, a decent guest list of ingredients who sadly do nothing to help Game Fuel Charged Tropical Strike become anything more than another Mtn Dew and AMP miscalculation.
