Dub And Jess Try Mountain Dew "Fruit Quake"

Today Dub and Jess tried Mountain Dew "Fruit Quake". It's the newest flavor of Mountain Dew, if you want to read more about the background of the new flavor click here. Now, Jess and I pride ourselves on trying new things first. We take the responsibility of trying things for Kicks Country. We want to let y'all know what's good and what's not. If it's gross, we want to save y'all the hassle of trying it. Thankfully, we haven't tried too many things that are gross.

My buddy Aaron hooked us up with the Mountain Dew "Fruit Quake" so that we could try it. Want to check out a full list of all of Mountain Dew's flavors, click here.

This is definitely a holiday-flavored drink. Check out what we thought about it.


Grab These Fall Treats Before They’re Gone

You'll definitely want to grab these fall treats before they're gone!  They won't be around much longer! Here are a few limited edition fall and Halloween treats my daughter Lexie and I enjoy:

Hocus Pocus 2 cereal and you can check out my review of it here.

We also tried Baskin Robbins ‘Spicy and Spooky’ ice cream. Check that out here.

And here’s what we thought about it.

Starbucks- Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato

This tastes like a delicious caramel apple. I substitute with coconut milk.

Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights

A delicious little pumpkin treat.

Look at this smile! Makes me happy.

Also….there’s ice cream! You can grab this at Walmart before it’s gone!

Marketside Gourmet Halloween Bark

This Halloween bark was sooo good. It somehow made candy corn taste delicious. You can get this at Walmart.

Krispy Kreme Haunted House Collection donuts

Here’s what they’re supposed to look like:

And here’s what I got:

‘Boo Batter’ and ‘Scaredy Cat’ were the only ones available at the time I went to order these. I wasn’t impressed with either one and neither was my daughter who loves all things sweet, so that’s saying something. Cute to look at, Krispy Kreme donuts are always good, but the filling inside each donut was underwhelming.

Dunkin’ Peanut Butter Cup Machiatto

I just love the look of this drink. It definitely tastes like a peanut butter cup, but a little to sweet for me. But, definitely worth trying!

Dunkin’ Halloween Donuts

All of Dunkin’s ‘filled’ donuts are pumpkin shaped right so you just choose your flavor and you get this:

This was the cutest by far
