  Pepsi has had some great success with different flavors of Mountain Dew over the years. Drinks like Code Red and Live Wire are staples of the franchise while Baja Blast is Taco Bell's pride and joy. Well now Pepsi is trying something out of left field, Doritos flavor Mountain Dew. You read that right, the cheesy flavor of Doritos with the sugary substance that is Mountain Dew.
   It's not available for sell now but Pepsi is testing it out at college campuses around the United States. Who better to test it on than college students who can only afford pop and chips to eat? Only time will tell if this drink makes it on to store shelves. For now, we're stuck with just eating our Doritos.

    DC has ten movies slated to release within the next six years. Justice League will be a two-part movie experience while key members of JL will get their own movies throughout the cycle of upcoming movies. Batman vs Superman will star both characters in the title as well as Wonder Woman. Whether any other JL members will be a part of the film is still up in the air. Suicide Squad is about a band of villians including the likes of Harley Quinn and Deadshot. Superman's arch-enemy, Lex Luthor, is rumored to be involved with the film.

   Details surrounding Marvel's line-up are pretty scares with the announcement dropped less than a month ago. Marvel Studios has nine movies planned within the next five years. Captain America: Civil War will most likely revolve around the 2006-2007 seven part mini series about the U.S. government forced super heroes to register their true identities or stop being heroes. This story line pitted Iron Man, who sided with the government, against Captain America, who believed that registering was wrong. Marvel's big hero team, The Avengers, will see the same treatment as Justice League with a two-part movie story line. The films will be titled Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet Part I & II.
