does it taste similar to Mountain Dew? Tried it for the first time and thought, wow that tastes unique and maybe slightly similar to Mountain Dew? But really tasty :-)

    I always have it when I go snowboarding 🏂 in the Alps and I love it. I tried it while working in the office, it was not the same :( Damn the office!

      LOL, I really liked it. Especially the unique taste surprised me. But somehow I couldn’t really determine what it tastes similar to, so if someone would ask what it tastes like? What would you say?

        They aren’t really known for forgiveness, I mean look at the dude who became vengeful after failing to be admitted to art school in munich - and before the Austrians claim he was German, he was not

    Okay one of my favourite things to do when I visit a new country is sample any local sodas, snacks and takeaways I come across—so, where would I find this interesting item as it has managed to evade my knowledge until now

    Edit: it’s Austrian, that explains it—as a happy coincidence, I’m hopefully visiting Vienna for the first time later this year

    Double edit: ITT any other local drinks and snacks people recommend I seek out: (bonus points for Italian, Hungarian or Austrian given my current travel plans this year)

      Here in Austria you’ll find Almdudler in most of the restaurants.

      Don’t miss out on the following snacks:

      • Drageé Keksi
      • Blaschke Kokoskuppel
      • Manner Schnitten
      • Auer Baumstämme

      Also try Blaufränkisch red wine (from Austria’s east) - you also can get it Hungarian made by the name of Kekfrankos(sp?).

    This post is absolutely hilarious to me but I have to caveat that I’ve never had Mountain Dew. Now I wonder what the fuck Mountain Dew actually is.

      I tried mountain dew once and it was so sweet that it tasted like more viscose syrup. I have no idea how people drink it.
