What's more America than Mtn Dew? What about neon purple Mtn Dew Liberty Brew with 50 fucking flavors. Or "American Mix" Skittles with the only new/interesting flavor being Yumberry (Myrica rubra) -- a native south-central Chinese fruit. Maybe Mars, Inc. is making a political statement? If so I say it's about time we get some candy industry drama. We also try the four horsemen of condiments, Heinz' Flavor Mashups including Mayochup, Mayocue, Mayomust, and the infamous Kranch. Does a portal to another dimension open when mixing all four together? Tune in to find out!
