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 :-)

this post is an offence punishable by death in Austria

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?

[โ€“] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 0 points 19 hours ago

like Almdudler, duh

[โ€“] Panda@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

I don't find Almdudler comparable to Mountain Dew. But what I do think is similar to Almdudler is Rivella. Though I like the taste of Almdudler a lot more.

Trying to save myself hahaha :-D

[โ€“] Oneser@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

...did you just compare almdudler to mountain dew?... !Austria@feddit.org, schaut doch alle her!

[โ€“] Schortl@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Mitzi bring me my pitchfork! Time for some "corrective measures"! ;)

[โ€“] spriddleriddle@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

hahahaha, didn't know this was such a thing :-D I am sorry Austria, please forgive me!

[โ€“] RidderSport@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

I thought he was alright. "Rock Me Amadeus" is a pretty decent song.

[โ€“] HerbSolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Don't know M.D. but the closest i know is Ginger Ale from Schweppes.

[โ€“] Asetru@feddit.org 15 points 2 days ago

similar to Mountain Dew

Is this the real life? Or is this a blasphemy?

[โ€“] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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

Edit: it's Austrian, that explains itโ€”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)

[โ€“] gepheb@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

Don't miss out on the following snacks:

  • Drageรฉ Keksi
  • Blaschke Kokoskuppel
  • Manner Schnitten
  • Auer Baumstรคmme

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

[โ€“] alucard@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Dragee Keksi haben die Rezeptur geรคndert ;(

Soletti sind aber nice (gehรถren aber mittlerweile 50/50 zu einer US+DE Firma)

[โ€“] spriddleriddle@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

You can also find it easily in Germany. Where I bought it :-)

[โ€“] peaches@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I always have it when I go snowboarding ๐Ÿ‚ in the Alps and I love it. I tried it while working in the office, it was not the same :( Damn the office!

[โ€“] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

You fool! Its Club Mate in the office, Dudler (or warm piss, whatever you prefer) on the slopes

[โ€“] schnokobaer@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's like Sprite but sweeter

[โ€“] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

That describes the majority of popular US drinks and sweets.
