Read the Winners of American Short Fiction’s 2022 Insider Prize, Selected by Lauren Hough ‹ Literary Hub

Lauren Hough may be known for her spar-ready online presence, but in real life she’s pure warmth: years ago, she overheard us talking about the Insider Prize—American Short Fiction’s annual contest for incarcerated writers—at a coffee shop in Austin, and she walked up, and proclaimed, “I want to help!” So, this year, we asked her to be the judge. This year’s submissions capture the uncertainty, loss, and despair so many of us have experienced in the past two years. But they also capture self-reflection, hope, and a desire to escape to a new world—whether to a post-pandemic future filled with millions or clones, or to a more humane existence for those living within the confines of our criminal justice system.

Discontinued Mountain Dew Flavors You’ll Never Drink Again

Discontinued Mountain Dew Flavors You’ll Never Drink Again

Eager to drum up more hype for endless and wacky flavors, PepsiCo launched a new marketing campaign in November 2007 called DEWmocracy (via Mountain Dew Wiki). The campaign allowed Mountain Dew drinkers to sample three brand new flavors of Dew, with the winner slated to become the brand’s next permanent flavor. Voltage, Supernova, and Revolution were released the following year. After a long summer of voting, Voltage came out on top. Both Revolution, a bright blue Mountain Dew with a flavor called Wild Berry and SuperNova, which was light pink with a Strawberry Melon flavor, were discontinued that year. In 2011, PepsiCo announced that they had a “secret stash” of Revolution and that it would be awarded to a winner in an online contest. SuperNova would be re-released… Source link
