Mountain Dew may not be as popular as
Coke or Pepsi but this green soda does
have a loyal following some soda fans
enjoy the classic taste but Mountain Dew
has released a number of other flavors
over the years as well these are some
that didn't last but maybe should have
10 discontinued Mountain Dew flavors we
miss shine on mountain dew Mountain Dews
do shine is an interesting soda from a
giant beverage maker because this one
seems to be packaged and marketed in a
way to encourage customers to associate
this soda with fun alcoholic beverages
like Mike's Hard Lemonade plus I want to
unleash the power of moonshine bottles
of do shine even featured labeling that
assured customers that this soda was
indeed a non-alcoholic beverage this is
a strange decision for a soda company
whose core customers are people under 21
wait a minute kid how old are you
but leaving this aside do shine is a
clear soda which is a first for the
Mountain Dew brand that usually prefers
to impress us with dramatic colors this
limited-time Mountain Dew
just drew it featured a refreshing
citrus flavor and was touted as one of
the rare sodas being made with sugar
from sugar cane instead of the sweeter
tasting corn syrup that has largely
replaced sugar in these kinds of
products unlike most soft drinks on the
market today
Mountain Dew do shine was sold only in
12 ounce glass bottles as well as a
selection of jugs
this unique Mountain Dew variation was
released to a thirsty public in 2015 and
was discontinued about two years later a
mountain Dew cyclone Mountain Dews
flavor variant known as cyclone had the
distinction of being available as a
fountain drink only at Speedway gas
station locations
this gives the soda flavor something of
an air of exclusivity as Mountain Dew
and Speedway hope to draw thirsty
customers to these specific locations to
get their sweet cyclone fix
it was available at some Speedway
locations in March of 2019 then made a
wider release in April of 2019 replacing
pitch black
another Mountain Dew flavor variant
cyclone is described as having a citrus
punch flavor and sports a unique maroon
color that is pretty rare among sodas oh
yeah the soda company describes this
drink as do with a blast of natural and
artificial citrus punch flavor according
to the available nutritional information
cyclone has a very similar recipe to a
soda called sangrita blast the named
cyclone was originally used for a test
flavor back in 2009 that eventually
became known as typhoon this mountain
Dew flavor was later discontinued but
was able to live on in the form of the
cyclone flavor at least for a time
Mountain Dew sangrita blast Tong says
sync readable by Hart Mountain Dews
sangrita blast flavors featured a
similar maroon color to that of another
flavor variant called cyclone butt
cyclone had a fruit punch flavor while
sangrita experimented with an exotic
cherry pomegranate taste before settling
on a more conventional citrus punch
flavor
Mountain Dew sangrita blast first became
available in April of 2015 at the same
time that baja blast enjoyed its second
release to a thirsty public Mountain Dew
sangrita blast was sold throughout the
summer months of 2015 then taken off the
shelves May 2015 saw the release of an
icy variant of sangrita blast at Taco
Bell's stores you want to go to Taco
Bell
this mountain Dew variant replaced a
Snapple lemonade freeze that Taco Bell
stores had been offering to customers at
its soda fountains this replacement
drink only lasted a few months at the
popular fast-food restaurants before it
too was replaced by another soft drink
flavor the sangrita blast flavor was
available for a couple of years but was
eventually replaced in 2017 by a flavor
called spiked lemonade like with some of
the other discontinued Mountain Dew
flavors there is always a chance that
sangrita blasts will make a return to
store shelves or Taco Bell for another
limited run any announcement about this
flavor would likely be made in the
spring because this soda was previously
released in time for the hot and thirsty
summer months the announcement will be
made any day now
Mountain Dew supernova this fruit
flavored Mountain Dew variant first
appeared on store shelves in 2008 as
part of the democracy promotion super
nova came in second in the online voting
losing out to voltage these names sound
more like transformers than soda
but regardless super nova reappeared a
few years later as one of the soft drink
flavors included in the back by popular
demand promotion in the summer of 2011
before disappearing once again super
nova also appeared in canada's version
of democracy but unfortunately it didn't
fare any better in this promotion than
it did in the united states this flavor
features an exotic mix of strawberry
melon and a touch of ginseng okay
ginseng you sure you know what you're
doing here ginseng has become a popular
ingredient in many sports drinks that
are marketed to more health minded
customers the soda company also put out
a diet version of supernova that met
with limited success before being
discontinued in most locations the
supernova flavor is a somewhat unique
bright magenta color but in some places
such as in Finland and Denmark it is
sold as a bright orange color drink also
in these Scandinavian countries mountain
dew supernova has found a permanent home
sadly supernova has not been available
in the United States since 2011 so if
you still want a taste of this liquid
sunshine you'll have to take a trip to
Scandinavia to do this do the
challenging climate of Scandinavia
mountain Dew's typhoon this do variant
had taken part in the promotion known as
the second democracy in 2009 when the
online votes were tallied typhoon came
in second after whiteout in the final
round of testing these two flavors were
introduced to the soda public in 2010
typhoon was similar in flavor to the
sweet tropical punch taste of the
mountain dew flavor known as solar flare
but with a more pinkish orange color
typhoon was re-released as a diet soda
as
part of the fandemonium promotion but
this time it failed to crack the top
three in voting and was not made
available to the public at this time
these are the top three
however the typhoon flavor did see a
limited release in 2011 as part of a
promotion called back by popular demand
this soda was only available for a few
more months before being discontinued
once again but not for good it seems
like this mountain Dew flavor refused to
go away quietly because in May of 2019
PepsiCo announced that Mountain Dew
typhoon would be re-released again after
all but it was not clear how long it
would be available so you'll have to
stay on your toes if you want to get
some this time around will wait Solar
Flare Mountain Dew solar flare was a red
orange soda and had a sweet fruit punch
flavor this was competition for the
popular Hawaiian Punch product although
that drink is not carbonated this
limited-time flavor was introduced in
2014 and was available only at 7-eleven
soda fountains in the United States
Canada and the Philippines this flavor
was also available as a 7-eleven Slurpee
drink for a limited time before being
discontinued for some reason it was not
available at supermarkets and cans and
bottles like most soft drinks is the
best soda ever made limiting its
distribution doesn't seem like a good
idea for Mountain Dew but it does for
7-eleven this soda variant was marketed
as do with a blast of tropical punch and
it tasted as fruity sweet as you would
imagine in 2015 Mountain Dew began
pulling solar flare from the convenience
store fountain locations and it was not
available at most locations after 2016
however due to continued strong sales at
specific 7-eleven stores Solar Flare was
available sporadically as late as 2019
soda lovers in the eastern half of the
United States have searched in vain for
solar flare Mountain Dew but for some
customers and the western half of the
country it has not yet been completely
discontinued go east
Mountain Dew citrus cherry is the last
time you had citrus Mountain Dew is one
of the few varieties of soda that is
known for its distinctive green color
but this doesn't mean that Mountain Dew
has to be green market research has
shown that people think that red colored
drinks are sweeter than brown colored or
clear drinks with the same flavoring so
it made sense that Mountain Dews citrus
cherry would be colored red even when it
was called game fuel this cherry flavor
was part of Mountain Dews game fuel
promotion that was aimed at attracting
the ever-growing population of gamers in
2007 this flavor was marketed directly
with the xbox 360 halo franchise
Mountain Dew citrus cherry had packaging
that featured the halo video game logo
and the game's main character Master
Chief was featured prominently as well
the sweet sugary taste and extra jolt of
caffeine buzz were just what the gamers
wanted to fuel their long sessions in
front of video screens Mountain Dew
citrus cherry was discontinued when the
promotion ran its course after a short
run however the game fuel promotion has
returned several times with citrus
cherry as one of the star players to
fuel thirsty gamers America does the do
this patriotic looking Mountain Dew was
released in the United States in the
spring of 2017 this flavour was meant to
commemorate two important days in
America Memorial Day and Independence
Day the name
do-si is an obvious nod to USA and the
red white and blue packaging is of
course a celebration of America's flag
this mountain Dew flavor was marketed as
a combination of three existing soda
flavors
Code Red whiteout and voltage apparently
these three particular flavors combined
to make a very sweet purple soda
although officially this soda is not
purple in color
the folks at Mountain Dew say it is dark
magenta but it looks like purple this
seasonal flavor was said to be similar
to a previously released flavor holiday
brew
unfortunately for patriotic Mountain Dew
drinkers everywhere USA was discontinued
after
a run of only a few months and didn't
even last until Labor Day and 2019 USA
was officially replaced by a new flavor
called Liberty brew regardless of the
name change this flavor was also made
from the three flavors that made up do
sa this mixture of flavors didn't seem
to be a winning combination
even though Mountain Dews heart was in
the right place I'll get it what flavor
no flavor this is it Mountain Dew
revolution do you want me to get naked
and start the revolution
Mountain Dew revolution was originally
part of a promotion called democracy
this promotion described this flavor as
Dew infused with wild berry fruit flavor
and ginseng with natural and artificial
flavors the light blue color seems like
a good choice for this Mountain Dew
flavor some people who have tasted this
flavor have described it as a
combination of white out and baja blast
Mountain Dew revolution was created by
soda fans as part of the democracy
promotion and competed against the
flavors supernovae and voltage
unfortunately for the revolution it fell
to third in the voting while voltage
came in first in the voting by winning
the vote it won the right to be a
mountain Dew permanent flavor in August
2008 in 2011 a new Mountain Dew
promotion hyped the idea that the
company was holding on to a secret stash
of the revolution variant that it
planned to release to the public thirsty
fans of this enigmatic soda could enter
to win this secret stash at Mountain
Dews throwback shack website a few years
later not surprisingly the winner of the
stash of revolution soda put one of the
bottles of soda up for sale on eBay and
bidding for that single bottle went as
high as $33 Mountain Dew pitch black
this dramatically dark Mountain Dew
flavor was appropriately known as pitch
black in the United States and alert
noir in Canada for obvious marketing
reasons it was released around Halloween
in 2004 as part of a promotion in 2005 a
second version of the flavor with a sour
taste called pitch black 2 was also
released on Halloween
pitch black mountain dew is said to be a
mixture of black grapes
and the classic Mountain Dew flavour the
result is a dark purple almost black
soda so the pitch-black name is clearly
fitting a Slurpee flavor named Darth Dew
was released by 7-eleven stores to
promote the third movie in the Star Wars
prequel trilogy Revenge of the Sith this
Slurpee flavor was only around during
the theatrical run of the movie then
disappeared from soda fountains just as
Anakin Skywalker seemingly came back
from the brink of death as Darth Vader
pitchblack found new life in 2011 and
2016 for a pair of promotions that
pitted pitchblack against other
limited-edition flavors such as typhoon
and baja blast
pitchblack won the juice ition in 2016
to become a permanent flavor
pitchblack had some success under other
names internationally however in the
United States this flavor remained
something of a black sheep and was
finally discontinued after several years
of consistently poor sales enjoy more
