It's truly amazing how many flavors Mountain Dew has offered to the
public over the years Herbert Camacho this is the third list in the series and
includes some exotic do flavors and while Baja blast came back into our
lives we still miss the others here are 10 discontinued Mountain Dew flavors we
miss Mountain Dew culatta like the course want to chug their
slushie is off the hook come on Mountain Dew release the culatta slushie drink in
2011 this cool treat was only available at Dunkin Donuts stores across America
the Mountain Dew Coolatta was a citrus flavored drink similar to original
Mountain Dew and it was the same yellow green color as well this variation of
Dew was similar to other do flavors do iced and do freeze which were available
at the fast-food chains Cold Stone Creamery and A&W restaurants
respectively the Mountain Dew colada was discontinued at Dunkin Donuts locations
before the end of the year other stores like 7-eleven probably would have been a
better choice for the colada you didn't want a Slurpee at 7-eleven yoga classes
this slushie would go well with slim jims and Doritos but would that many
people really want to slurp on one with a handful of munchkins the Mountain Dew
culatta didn't work at Dunkin but with the right partner perhaps a more fitting
fast-food restaurant and the right marketing campaign it could work the
second time around Mountain Dew Johnson City gold it's like beer but
different Johnson City gold was a mountain Dew flavor that has its origins
with the creators of the original Mountain Dew Barney & Ally Hartman
Geraldton City is the name of the town where Mountain Dew was first bottled the
brothers used to make the unique malt mix they would use for special occasions
here in the early 2010's members of dew labs were asked what the next do should
be and in the summer of 2012 Mountain Dew revealed that the next
flavor was called Johnson City gold this do is part of the regional do promotion
that let fans help tailor the design and name to one of the six regions where
Johnson City gold was available the flavor is described as a lemon law
malt drink and like many do flavors it was a pale green color a reviewer
described the taste of Mountain Dew Johnson City gold as a mix of Heineken
beer and lemon-lime soda he also pointed out that it might remind people of beer
with its taste and smell but this multi drink is definitely non-alcoholic know
the Hartman Brothers clearly liked the particular soda they made for themselves
and friends but it doesn't seem like it would catch on with the soda drinking
public this variety of due only lasted until 2013 due to a lack of sales
because of this flavors historical roots with the founders of Mountain Dew you
have to wonder if there might be a chance it'll see another run do the
cherry fusion cherry fusion was a mountain Dew flavor available only as a
fountain drink at the Wiener schnitzel fast food chain it was introduced at the
hot dog restaurants in 2009 but it was discontinued in 2010 because of its
similarity to Mountain Dews Code Red which is another cherry flavored soda it
seems like it would have been simpler to have introduced code red as a
Wienerschnitzel fountain soda instead of cherry fusion some fans of cherry fusion
had held out hope that Mountain Dew would release the soda at some point the
PepsiCo has abandoned the trademark associated with the name so it's
probably safe to say you won't be seen cherry fusion at wiener schnitzel or
anyplace else hotdogs and soda are popular classics at
ballgames and picnics so it made sense to pay a mountain Dew flavor with this
salty food with the right soda it seems like Mountain Dew and Wiener schnitzels
should be able to have a successful partnership cherry flavored Mountain Dew
sodas have proven to be popular in the past but this fountain drink just never
caught on like some other offerings from Mountain Dew democracy Distortion great
news everybody democracy just kicked in Mountain Dew
fans were allowed to vote on a new flavor of do as part of a democracy
campaign and this is what they came up with a lime flavored green soda called
Mountain Dew Distortion does this sound familiar it should because it describes
about half of the Mountain Dew variants PepsiCo comes out with you'd like to
think that when given a chance to be create
fans of mountain dew would have come up with something a little more distorted a
green colored lime flavored soda isn't too far off from the original green
colored citrus flavored soda this isn't very compelling and makes you wonder
what's going on with the decision-makers at PepsiCo Mountain Dew has had some
fairly exotic flavors such as being fueled tropical smash and black label if
they were trying to market concepts like fan participation and Distortion with a
new soda they should have made sure to have a product worthy of this campaign
maybe more sought was put into the distortion campaign than into what the
soda would actually be like the PepsiCo can blame this one on do fans Mountain
Dew Arctic burst this blueberry flavored Slurpee is fairly unique and this frosty
drink was exclusively available at 7-eleven locations in 2006 as part of a
promotion for the movie Superman Returns the promotion also included kryptonite
ice a green Slurpee drink with a mango citrus flavor
both of these unique flavors were discontinued later in the year after the
theatrical run of Superman Returns there have been several movies featuring
Superman since 2006 including Man of Steel but PepsiCo decided not to bring
back Arctic burst for thirsty fans guess why not frenzy
however Arctic burst was brought back by Mountain Dew in 2017 as part of the game
fuel series along with the flavor called tropical smash these drinks were used to
promote the videogame Middle Earth shadow of war both of these game fuel
flavors were discontinued in 2018 when the video game promotion ended a
blueberry flavored drink just doesn't seem to be a very popular choice if soda
drinkers were clamoring for a blueberry soda or Slurpee it would be able to
stand on its own and not have to be part of a limited time promotion
cold fusion Mountain Dew in an effort to avoid enslavement I offer you the finest
children freshmen known to the human race
Mountain Dew cold fusion not to be confused with cherry fusion was a slushy
type of fountain drink similar to the culatta
that had been a available at Dunkin Donuts in 2012 this
do was a cherry lime flavored drink and sported a bright red orange color this
Mountain Dew flavor was only available as a fountain drink at several different
convenience store chains such as sheets starting in 2013 after a few years of
spotty sales it was finally discontinued in 2016 a cherry lime slushie seems like
it would be a popular choice but not everyone likes the frozen variations of
these flavors
perhaps Mountain Dew would have been better off if it had released it as a
cherry lime soda instead of a slushie at Sheetz locations PepsiCo has released a
number of related flavors over the years these various flavors met with different
levels of success some of them developed a committed fan following while others
disappeared without any fanfare cherry lime has been a popular flavor for a
drink for a long time so you would think PepsiCo would release a variation of
this flavor at some point kickstart the do fans of Mountain Dews kickstart
limeade made some noise that they wanted PepsiCo to bring this particular flavor
back it was available from 2014 to 2017 and developed a small but devoted
following although it's essentially the original Mountain Dew flavor but with
less sugar some people prefer the lower sugar recipe but it seems like fans of
this drink could be happy with the original flavor kickstart limeade wasn't
that special but the original has been popular for decades with its citrus
flavor distinct color and a larger dose of caffeine than its Cola competitors
PepsiCo marketed kickstart lime 8 as a nighttime drink to help gamers keep
playing long into the evening it's too bad that the only place you can find
kickstart limeade now is Australia it seems like Mountain Dew puts out too
many similar flavors whether they be kick-starts energy or Slurpees customers
must have a hard time keeping all the different offerings straight kickstart
lime aids been gone for three years already but customers can always hope
that PepsiCo will decide to restart it and
this flavor another try dark berry do you think doc noses you're the Mountain
Dew variant known as dark berry was released in 2012 as part of the
promotional campaign for the third installment in Christopher Nolan's Dark
Knight trilogy The Dark Knight Rises its unique color was described as midnight
blue and the flavor as mixed berry exactly what the mix of berries was
isn't clear with their soda purchase customers were given codes to access
special movie content online a much-anticipated movie called the Batman
is slated for release in the summer of 2021 we have to wonder if PepsiCo is
preparing to gear up for another dark berry promotion to satisfy the fans of
the Caped Crusader this mountain Dew flavor was available in the Philippines
but only at participating 7-eleven stores where it lasted until 2016
one reviewer on YouTube said this soda wasn't awful but was very forgettable
this isn't the kind of review a company likes to hear but there's a reason a lot
of sodas only last for limited runs it seems that one mountain dew isn't
putting out a lime citrus flavor it's putting out a new version of a mixed
berry flavor most of these turn out to be less than
fabulous so they come and go and PepsiCo goes back to the drawing board Mountain
Dew white label it's very white mountain Dew's white label soda was part of a
special release on a handful of colleges around the United States with dues green
label in January 2017 white label was released to the general public later
that year it was a pineapple grapefruit flavor and was white in color
unfortunately it's sort of cloudy clearish appearance looks something like
one of those drinks with the dissolved alka-seltzer tablet and that one next to
it however the flavor itself pineapple grapefruit sounds very tasty and
refreshing with potential that has gone unrealized this label series of sodas
seems like a gimmicky attempt to do something a little more high-end but
there's no need to snob up Mountain Dew sodas Mountain Dews main customer bases
young males who play a lot of video James watch superhero movies and ride
their skateboards everywhere this is not the demographic that needs or wants soft
drinks with elegant artwork on the cans they want sweet tasting drinks with too
much caffeine by the end of 2019 all the Mountain Dew special variety labels
green black and white were discontinued pineapple grapefruit is a worthy soda
flavor that has possibilities perhaps PepsiCo will repackage and
market it more in line with other Mountain Dew products like these
successful Baja blast Baja blast of Mountain Dew Baja Mexico
Mountain Dews Baja blast is a teal-colored soda with a tropical lime
flavor this flavor was specifically formulated to complement Taco Bell's
menu items for most of its complicated history Baja blast has been available as
a fountain drink at Taco Bell restaurants Mountain Dew release Baja
blast and stores numerous times for short limited time runs over the years
to satisfy customers thirst for the refreshing drink having gone through
numerous discontinuation z' promotional releases limited time runs and
restaurant exclusives Baja blast has left a trail of confusion in its wake
take one look at the fandom page for Baja blast and you'll see that the soda
has received a limited-time store release almost every year since 2014
here we go some in cans some in bottles some link to promotional campaigns it's
a real maze trying to sort it out but that's the good news for fans of the
drink no matter what promotional material you see know that Baja blast is
widely available in bottles and cans at stores and no you don't need to go to
Taco Bell when you need your Baja blast fix anymore Baja blast is a real success
story because of real popularity it has become a widely available addition to
the Mountain Dew lineup even if they won't fully admit it stick around tap
