Mountain Dew Lovers: Get Psyched, Because There’s Now a Scented Candle Just for You
Most of us have a favorite soda. Mine happens to be good old Coca Cola Classic. But it doesn’t have much of a smell to it, does it?
Then there’s Mountain Dew, which has an unmistakable aroma, whether you’re a fan or not.
Well, a genius is now capitalizing on that smell and we’re all better for it. An Etsy shop called 716 Candle Co. is selling Mountain Dew-scented candles for only $15 a pop.

And in a Mountain Dew can, no less.
The candle is made from 100% soy wax from soybeans grown in America, and it’s supposed to burn for 40 hours (what a deal!). You can also get the Diet Mountain Dew version if you’re a bigger fan of that soda.

Let’s take a look at the reviews for the candle, shall we?
“Smells just like Mountain Dew, and amazing customer service! You won’t regret getting this!”
“Shipping was fast, candle smells exactly like Mountain Dew, and candle design was exactly as anticipated – a perfect gift for any Mountain Dew fanatic!”
“Just amazing and the seller made the fizzy pop scent custom for me. Much appreciated.”
It looks like this company also has a Dr. Pepper candle, but it’s currently sold out. Keep an eye out that one to add to your arsenal!
To all the soda lovers out there, what kind of candle do you want to get your hands on? RC? Jolt Cola, Cheerwine?

People on Reddit seem to be pretty stoked on the new peachy flavor:
“If this is real, I’m gonna have a new favorite dew.”
“Nice to see them dewing more holidays. From Dew.S.A to Dew Year. For Valentines day, instead of Cupid it could be Dewpid. Or, Will U Dew Me?
Will certainly shake this up like a champagne bottle and pour it in a champagne glass. And store some for 20 or so years, let it age…”
Mountain Dew is clearly not messing around – they’re trying to keep their fans engaged with some new, exciting products.
People are still anxiously awaiting official news and details from Mountain Dew about this new concoction, so, for now, you’ll just have to sit tight and wait for that big announcement. Something to look forward to, right?!?!

A Dr. Pepper Cream Soda Flavor Will Hit Shelves in 2020
Got a hankering for something new in the soda game? Well, you’re in luck, friends.
It was recently announced that a Dr. Pepper and Cream Soda flavor will be hitting shelves next year in regular and diet forms.
The new flavors made their debuts at the recent National Association of Convenience Stores trade show (yes, it’s a thing) in Atlanta. Attendees are able to get sneak peeks at new beverages and snacks at the event. One visitor took a photo of the new products and shared her review on Instagram.
The person described the new drink: “New Dr Pepper & Cream Soda in both regular and diet varieties will be out March 2020! Due to the added vanilla flavor, these aren’t as strong on the classic Dr Pepper taste. Therefore, the flavor here is much less polarizing than original Dr Pepper. I actually like this flavor, unlike the original!”
In an email, the folks at Dr. Pepper said, “News this sweet is too good to keep to ourselves. We are excited to confirm Dr Pepper & Cream Soda is REAL, and we look forward to treating our fans to this next-level flavor as it starts to hit shelves nationwide in March.”
There are some other new soda concoctions that are going to hit the shelves soon as well. Cinnamon Coca Cola is available now through the end of 2019 and Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite is also available now until December 31, 2019.
What do you think? Are you excited about these new products from Dr. Pepper? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
On another note, I really want to be invited to this trade show next year so I can sample all the new snacks and treats…hit me up if you’re going.
