We Tried the Mountain Dew Blue Shock Slurpee

Mountain Dew recently surprised us with the news that Blue Shock Slurpee would be returning exclusively to 7-Eleven and Speedway. It’s described as a blue raspberry citrus flavor, which has led to many fans wondering how this Mountain Dew flavor compares to Voltage—or even if it’s just the same flavor in disguise. I’m on the case, and after a quick stop by a local Speedway store, I’m ready to tell you my thoughts on the returning Mountain Dew Slurpee.

New Slurpee Flavor!

Mountain Dew Blue Shock Slurpee

Pros: This quite literally tastes like the original Mountain Dew—but blue. You know what I mean. There’s a sort of generalized “blue” flavor that folks think of when they think of a generic blue raspberry flavored Icee or treat. This tastes like a perfect blend of that blue flavor mixed with original Mountain Dew. And I mean that in the best way possible. It is fantastic. I think it does a great job at differentiating itself from Voltage, because you don’t get notes of classic Dew from Voltage like you do here.

Cons: Mountain Dew is known for their wacky and crazy innovative flavors, but if you’re looking for one of those, you won’t find it here. My only other critique is the same complaint that I have regarding all frozen drinks, which is that it melts too fast and the taste diminishes significantly when it starts to melt. But I am fully willing to accept that as a user error.
