Wait, what? Mountain Dew is set to release a new flavor inspired by… Flamin’ Hot Cheetos • PhilSTAR Life

What’s the latest in the ever-surprising food and beverage scene? Another thing that even serious soda and chips lovers never saw coming: Mountain Dew x Cheetos… in Flamin’ Hot flavor.

Delighting in hot munchies with this neon drink on the side is a fun snacking experience in itself, but this new offering by the two well-loved PepsiCo brands is on a whole ‘nother level. Carrying the tagline “Spicy, meet sweet,” it features the zesty goodness of Mountain Dew when it marries the fiery taste of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

“This is one of our most provocative beverages yet,” senior marketing director Matt Nielsten said in a press release. “We’re excited for DEW Nation to taste the unique blend of the spicy and classic sweet citrus flavor of MTN DEW.”

Mountain Dew Flamin’ Hot is slated for release exclusively on the online DEW Store on Aug. 31.
