Mountain Dew is a popular soda known
for its bold flavor and the jolt of
extra caffeine Mountain Dew isn't afraid
to try new things and sink outside the
box this leads to many new and old
flavors disappearing off the shelves
here's another batch of 10 discontinued
Mountain Dew flavors we miss him I miss
him too
freedom to be bold this is America isn't
yes fittingly the makers of Mountain Dew
released it's a Liberty brew flavor on
Memorial Day in 2019 this flavor was
available in stores until August 11th
2019 the flavor sported a midnight blue
color similar to Mountain Dews dark
berry flavor
the patriotic label features the Statue
of Liberty and Eagles so it's clearly
celebrating America
this might sound dubious to some soda
fans but according to the marketing and
bottle labels Liberty brews flavor is
concocted from 50 different fruit
flavors that can't be true this number
is of course a nod to the 50 United
States that make up America it is a very
nice gesture to honor the USA however
which 50 flavors are actually found in
the soda is a bit of a mystery this
claim is more than likely just a public
relations ploy because this many flavors
would probably be quite a mess to sort
out what would 50 competing flavors
actually taste like
according to mountain dew fans online
this flavor is described as having the
taste of a bomb pop or various types of
gummies such as wild berry lifesavers
gummies or blue raspberry krabby patty
gummies well that's just weird no it's
beautiful the descriptions seem a little
scattershot and they probably don't help
very much that said we
maybe in luck as it was leaked on the
Mountain Dew discord that PepsiCo may
already have plans to bring the Liberty
brew out again in summer 2020 let's wait
and see
Green was do this special flavor was
released on college campuses in January
2017 in 16-ounce cans and marketed with
the tagline do with crafted green apple
Kiwi
what does that even mean the rest of
America got its first taste of Mountain
Dew green label a few months later but
the response was uninspired
putting aside the reason why a
mass-produced soda should be referred to
as crafted which was probably just an
attempt to cash in on the popularity of
craft beers which has been rising in
recent years however this pitch did not
end up appealing to the college kids
they were going after or anyone else
really it just did not work this
ill-fated flavor was discontinued by
Mountain Dew before the end of 2017
because of disappointing sales maybe it
was the combination of apple and kiwi
green label was the soda makers third
attempts to sell a green apple flavored
soda to the public the others were Diet
crave and electric apple and they both
failed so maybe those failures should
have been assigned customers don't want
a green apple flavored do I don't want
it I never have ice ice cherry news of a
cherry flavor by Mountain Dew was leaked
on the internet a few months before i
scary was released on September 24th
2018 it was then taken off shelves
before the year was even over but this
beverage has a somewhat happier ending
as in 2019
Mountain Dew iced cherry was re-released
but only in certain regions where it had
performed well to begin with this was a
strange strategy by Mountain Dew but
since it's not currently available in
all reach
we are still including this one on our
discontinued flavors we miss lists you
think you're gonna get out of this
despite its name
Mountain Dew iced cherry is actually a
combination of cherry lemon and lime
flavors the Mountain Dew version boasts
a small amount of real fruit juice and
like other Mountain Dew iced variants
iced cherry is clear in color a clear
cherry soda
seems like a wasted opportunity since a
cherry soda could have a dramatic dark
red color the long-term viability of
iced cherry might be questionable since
Mountain Dew has tried several cherry
flavors over the years it is difficult
to keep all of the different varieties
straight but rest assured that even if I
see Airy disappears again there are
plenty of other cherry flavored sodas on
the market to satisfy your taste buds x
marks the dew mountain dew X or MDX
isn't just a soda it's an energy drink
this designation means that in addition
to the sweetness and caffeine PepsiCo
added a list of ingredients to MDX to
charge it up these ingredients include
maltodextrin ginseng taurine d-ribose
and gharana I don't know what those
words mean are you in the middle of some
sort of aneurysm all of these
ingredients are touted as being able to
improve athletic performance d-ribose is
actually sometimes used as a medicine to
boost functions for people with certain
diseases but there is little evidence it
would do much for a healthy person well
then what's the point exactly
taurine is an amino acid that is
involved with metabolizing fat and
gharana is derived from a plant found in
the amazon basin and contains caffeine
PepsiCo didn't stop with the guarana
though it added more caffeine for good
measure what have you done what you've
done ginseng has long been used as an
herbal remedy that is said to boost
athletic performance it can benefit
brain functions boost your immune system
and gain
even help fight tiredness and increase
your energy levels this flavor was sold
between 2005 and 2007 MDX was
groundbreaking in one way it was the
first flavor sold in the sidekick bottle
design PepsiCo transitioned most of its
20 ounce bottles to this design in the
2010s replacing the dome design the dome
design seemed fine to many customers but
perhaps the sidekick design is thought
to be more modern-looking
and appeal to kids soda in Paradise it's
like a dream come true
pineapple may not be one of the more
common soda flavors but Mountain Dews
game fuel tropical smash makes the case
that maybe it should be
tropical smash was one of seven flavors
featured as part of democracy 2 in 2009
do lab members received samples of
tropical smash and other flavors for
evaluation but it wasn't until 2017 that
it was released as part of a marketing
campaign for the release of the video
game Forza Motorsport 7 unfortunately
after this brief promotion the flavor
was discontinued at the end of 2017 why
would you do this to me Jake stop
spiraling tropical smash should not be
confused with dews tropical strike
tropical smash has been described as a
tropical punch flavored soda with a
distinct pineapple overtone there is
also some mango flavor which makes it
similar to another Mountain Dew flavor
called solar flare these game fuel
releases are limited editions by nature
so seeing the flavors being discontinued
is part of the process but we wish this
particular flavor would have stuck
around for the long haul I could drink
can I strawberry Kiwi forever strawberry
Kiwi kick start hydrating boost is a
mountain dew soda variant marketed as a
replenishment drink co sodas can boast
coconut water among its ingredients but
this unique flavor was introduced in
2015 to compete in the replenishment
post-workout drink market
this soda had a sweet strawberry and
kiwi flavor that seemed to work
even though strawberry flavored products
can be very hit or miss this strawberry
and kiwi experiment only lasted a few
years and was discontinued by the end of
2017 a raspberry citrus mountain dew
replaced strawberry Kiwi in 2017
raspberry flavored beverages generally
tastes better than strawberry flavored
beverages what who
so raspberry citrus Mountain Dew was
likely a bigger success the strawberry
Kiwi flavour was one of Mountain Dews
kick start hydrating boost products the
other one marketed along with it was a
pineapple orange mango flavor
unfortunately the pineapple flavor was
also discontinued after poor sales
pineapple orange mango does sound pretty
refreshing so it's too bad it didn't
find a bigger following that did know
I'm said the holiday do it's like
Christmas in a cup this seasonal brew
was introduced in November of 2017 and
ran until the end of December in this
case a mixture with the proportions of
40 percent original Mountain Dew and 60
percent code red cherry combined to make
a citrus cherry flavor and a distinctive
red orange color it is interesting that
both flavors apparently came through
without clashing with each other despite
good reviews holiday brew apparently
didn't go over very well with the larger
public the seasonal brew was replaced
after only one holiday season by a
flavor called merry mashup during the
very next year's holiday season this
second attempt at a holiday Dew was a
little more successful than holiday brew
the merry mashup flavor was introduced
in 2018 and made another appearance in
2019 are you back for good she drank a
raspberry do
despite the spiked and spiked raspberry
lemonade parents can rest easy that
Mountain Dew did not make and market an
alcoholic soda well
well that's that's really according to
the information provided by PepsiCo the
spiked in this case refers to the
inclusion of thirst-quenching prickly
pear cactus juice prickly pear cactus
juice does not sound very appealing but
maybe it really is good for rehydration
putting aside what kind of special water
it has in it this raspberry lemonade
soda was made without any artificial
flavors and was sweetened with real
fruit juice spiked raspberry lemonade
was released in 2017 along with spikes
lemonade by late 2017 week sales
convinced Mountain Dew to discontinue
both spiked flavors a raspberry lemonade
flavor sounds like it should have been a
winner for Mountain Dew but
unfortunately it wasn't they did make a
similar flavor called berry burst but it
was only available in soda fountains at
Applebee's restaurants this variation of
Mountain Dew was flavored with raspberry
and lime instead of lemon a darker shade
of dew
oh no well in Goss territory this
Mountain Dew flavors tagline was do with
crafted dark berry this variety of
Mountain Dew was pre released on some
select college and university campuses
in August 2015 and officially released
in March 2016 the flavor has been
described as a dark berry punch with
oval bitters and real sugar odor to bear
sweeter to chew black of the berry the
sweeter the juice
as far as comparisons the flavor is
related to the Mountain Dew flavors dark
berry and pitch black the Black Label
color is a dark magenta maybe they
should have made the color dark brown or
black like Cola flavored soda it seems
like
wanted to emphasize the fruit flavor so
they went with the purple color
Mountain Dew also put out a white label
and a green label along with the black
label variety rumors circulated that
black label mountain dew would be
discontinued but we've actually passed
the date that they were supposed to be
discontinued yet PepsiCo have not made
an official statement about it if you
love this soda drink or want to give it
a try your best bet is to snatch it up
if you see it in stores as it may not be
there much longer I need to go I need to
go now Mountain Dew voodoo Oh spooky
spooky stuff Mountain Dew voodoo was a
flavor that was officially released on
August 26th of 2019 as a limited time
release it was clearly released to
coincide with the Halloween season with
the packaging itself having a very
Halloween themed voodoo was a mystery
flavor of the popular soda drink how
interesting it was cloudy white and
color very similar to Mountain Dew
whiteout the taste was described by many
fans as fruity something like starbursts
or skittles but those guesses were just
of the wrong candy the voodoo mystery
flavor was actually candy corn what no
you gross that makes quite a bit of
sense seen as it was released as a
limited edition Halloween inspired drink
and candy corn is still believe it or
not among the most popular Halloween
candies out there keep your eyes peeled
next halloween season to see what
mountain dew has in store for us have
