Taco Bell has some new funny commercials out advertising their new Grande Quesadilla. In one of them the guy in the ice cave sounds like Tobias, which automatically raises the level of comedy. Now far be it from me to criticize a great company which has brought me so much in the way of deliciousness, but the Grande Quesadilla is rather lame. It's big claim to fame is that it's made with "warm panadero bread." First of all, the word panadero is Spanish for "baker." So, it's made with baker's bread you say? I suppose next you're gonna try to tell me the crunchy taco shells are made by tacomakers, or that the lettuce is made by lettucemakers. Anyway, the bread is actually slightly different from the flatbread used in the gorditas and chalupas; it's crunchier on the outside and gummier on the inside. It's not really very good at all, and detracts from the overall goodness of what could be an otherwise fine product.
Grade: 3/10
Pepsi Co has combined forces with Microsoft to create Mountain Dew Game Fuel, the new Halo 3 inspired drink. The description, "Mountain Dew with a blast of cherry flavor," probably leaves most people thinking this is just an unoriginal repackaging of Code Red. But in fact it's a new flavor. The best way I can describe it is like a cross between cherry Kool-Aid and Pepsi Blue. It's fairly sweet, and apparently has even more caffeine than Code Red, which was already a bump in caffeine over regular Mountain Dew. I hope to see the day when I can just cut to the chase and inject it straight into my veins.
Grade: 8/10
UPDATE: My ranking on the Mountain Dew was after drinking it from a bottle. I recently bought cans and I can definitely say it knocks at least 2 points off that score. So go for the bottle. And don't let it get warm either. I mean, that should really go without saying, but if it gets warm it drops to like a 3 or 4.

I am not at all surprised by your review of the new quesadilla. They probably should have done their market analysis a little better. They say it's more filling, but when people want something more filling, they want more beef or cheese or something good. They don't just want more bland substance. I haven't tried it, but those were my thought when I saw the commercial and you've now confirmed them.
As to the new Mountain Dew, I just might have to give it a try. I'll have to admit; I was a little leery of it. But I have confidence in your review. Also, do they have the new Dew at Taco Bell?
sadly the new dew is not on tap at taco bell. in fact it's only out for like 3 weeks and then supposedly will go away. i have a feeling they'll keep it around though and just call it something else, like Dew Fuel or something like that.
Blasphemy! Code Red is the cherry dew and always will be! I'm drinking it right now.
Although, I am curious what it tastes like, and how it can possibly be cherry dew and yet not Code Red...
