I like Doritos, and I like Mountain Dew, but I don't think i'd like Doritos flavored Mountain Dew. Now ... Mountain Dew flavored Doritos? That's another conversation altogether.
Pepsi has confirmed reports that it's been working on a Doritos-flavored soft drink.“Dewitos” was first reported by Kent State University Freshman Steve Barnes, who shared an image of the odd combination on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/user/joes_nipples). Barnes claimed that Pepsi was not only offering the nacho-flavored tincture but an assortment of other novelty sodas including lemon ginger, rainbow sherbet, and mango habanero.
Quartz reached out (http://qz.com/293298/confirmed-doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-is-for-real/) to Pepsi and received a statement from a spokesperson revealing that the taste-tests were real.
“We are always testing out new flavors of Mountain Dew, and giving our fans a voice in helping decide on the next new product has always been important to us,” read the statement. “We opened up the DEW flavor vault and gave students a chance to try this Doritos-inspired flavor as part of a small program at colleges and universities.”
Barnes reported that the Dorritos-flavored drink actually did taste like the popular chips, but said the rainbow sherbet tasted like medicine.
