Redditor joes\_nipples posted an image Thursday of a Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew tasting table, aptly called Dewritos with the caption, “It actually tasted like Doritos.” [Kotaku](http://kotaku.com/please-dont-be-real-doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-1655850490 "undefined") noted that the “liquid cheese” was spotted at Ohio University in late October. > [](https://twitter.com/OhioUSnap/status/527296413672435712) Bridgette Parkins tweeted that they were at Kansas State University, too: > [](https://twitter.com/b%5Fparkins14/status/530135770158608385) Even though it looks radioactive and is conceptually baffling, apparently tasting like a liquified Doritos isn’t the worst thing in the world. “It honestly wasn’t that disgusting,” the joes\_nipples wrote. “It tasted like orange with a Doritos aftertaste. It tasted like straight Doritos afterwards, though. Weirdest thing I’ve ever drunken.” Joes\_nipples also said that Mountain Dew was testing a lemon ginger, mango habanero, and rainbow sherbet flavor, too. The product isn’t completely outlandish. Fusion is in right now (think [Doritos Locos Tacos](http://www.tacobell.com/food/menuitem/Doritos-Locos-Tacos-Supreme "undefined")), Mountain Dew and Doritos [regularly have partnerships](https://www.fuelupforbattle.com/ "undefined"), the Super Bowl is coming (anything and everything weird happens around the Super Bowl), and people have been kind of petitioning for this for a while. > [](https://twitter.com/VsauceThree/status/406894016827895808) Although the suggestions for Dewritos might not have been in earnest. > [](https://twitter.com/thecharrr/status/530749839840378880) A Mountain Dew spokesperson told TIME that the product is being tested, although there’s no word if it will be coming to a store near you. --- > “” --- ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3573045/doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-is-first-sign-of-impending-apocalypse/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3573045/doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-is-first-sign-of-impending-apocalypse/"},"headline":"Doritos-Flavored Mountain Dew Is First Sign of Impending Apocalypse","datePublished":"2014-11-07T21:18:29.000Z","dateModified":"2024-01-24T15:16:19.000Z","description":"Eww","url":"https://time.com/3573045/doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-is-first-sign-of-impending-apocalypse/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Retail","Doritos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3573045/doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-is-first-sign-of-impending-apocalypse/","name":"Doritos-Flavored Mountain Dew Is First Sign of Impending Apocalypse"}}]}] ```
