Welcome To Taste of States a place where we celebrate the weird and wonderful food of the United States of America. This can be everything from the snacks that are available for a limited time to the foods that are classic traditions at events such as Christmas and Thanksgiving! Each week we will explore the facts and the history surrounding a different food.

MOUNTAIN DEW A.M.

There has been a lot of collaborations between Mountain Dew and Taco Bell and this is one of them that was all about the morning. The Mountain Dew A.M is a mixology drink that was a combination of Mountain Dew and Orange Juice. The drink was served until 11am.

Apparently according to reports, this mix of drinks has been used as a home remedy for a hangover and it was originally tested in the stores in Fresno and Southern California. It was launched alongside a whole bunch of new items on Taco Bells breakfast menu.

The drink is $1.99 to buy and your average glass of this concoction has 39 grams of sugar in it. There are a lot of mixed reviews about this drink – lets remember it has a lot of sugar in this and it means that you can really taste it which does not appeal to all. People were not sure about drinking soda for breakfast – but remember this – both Tropicana and Mountain Dew are Pepsi Co brands so I guess it made sense to mix them up.
