Don't know if anyone else has mentioned. In Australia, Mountain Dew was released as "Mountain Dew" but had no caffeine in it. Later on "Mountain Dew Energise" was released which was essentially normal US Mountain Dew, caffeine included. They then phased out the originaly released "Mountain Dew" so now all that's available is "Mountain Dew Energise" which is... standard caffeinated Mountain Dew

If I recall, there was a flavor of Mountain Dew in the states called Pitch Black *I think it was some kind of grape flavored soda* But it had been discontinued in stores. However, depending on what state you live in, mainly in the southeast, it can be found as a fountain drink at select gas stations, such as Speedway. I have no idea if it’s still around, but I had seen it in Speedway gas stations several years ago.

[@Fatblue246]

it’s not that’s it’s one of the most popular in the US per se, as we regularly joke about how it can dissolve rats and will kill your testosterone in large quantities etc lol, and is only offered at specific restaurants etc, it’s more just historically very famous as it’s tied to moon shining culture in the USA. It’s where it gets the name “mountain dew” it was originally made as a mixer for moon shine but eventually they started selling it on its own as a soda. A lot of famous American things have their basis in moonshining culture, like Nascar for example. That and whenever call of duty would come out Activision would give out bonuses like XP buffs etc in mountain dew caps and in doritos, both of which are owned by pepsico somewhere in the line if i’m not mistaken. So it has a cultural place here but it seldom someone’s like main go to soda as even for soda it’s quite bad for you and just isn’t sold at most fast food places. Like if i’m not mistaken only Taco Bell here has mtn dew. But that also all depends a lot on where in the USA you live etc

I remember still having to go to Chinatown to buy the "ïllegal" imported version around 2007 and then seeing it back in the supermarkets as an energy drink year or two later. They must've reformulated it in the mid-late 2010s (guessing this because I've never seen the new formula name "Citrus Blast" and I left the UK in 2013).

Mtn Dew Diet introduced me to Mtn Dew, but I soon moved on to sugar version. I live in the UK btw

[@wisej0e81]

It would have been cool to see the drink colors in a glass

[@katashworth41]

I remember it coming out here when I was a kid and drank worrying amounts of it. It did make family events more palatable (they usually took place in Methodist churches so they were even less fun).

[@kieronparr3403]

Same. I remember passing out behind the waltzers at a fair when I was a kid from so much free mountain dew

[@Jake_2005]

Something that I think would be fun for the exclusives is if you would rate them from worst to best!

There's another Mtn Dew size in the USA. It's a 1.5 liter. You can find it in Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Walgreens in my area.

If I was rich I would put a mt dew fountain at my desk 😂

[@Macallion]

We did have the zero sugar version in the UK a few months ago. I've had it. I've also bought smaller bottles of, I think about 350ml before? Haven't looked in a while, so not sure if we still have them currently. Don't think I've ever seen a diet bottle, though.

[@stevec3223]

The US also has times when it sells 36 packs on pepsi products including mountain dew. The 36 pack also come in split packs where you can get 18 pepsi and 18 mountain dew cans

[@chickenbby]

What's crazy is I was at the store yesterday and a 12 pack of soda is $7 now in Wisconsin

[@MorriganQrow]

After Joe has come down from the dew-perience, y’all need to do a Monster Energy food wars so we can get Harry hyped too xD

[@shreyamadaan3902]

They jst make my day😊

[@Piter_Play]

I remember maybe 5 years ago PepsiCo stopped selling regular Mountain Dew in Poland, and selled only diet version with acesulfam k and aspartame. After less than a year they brought back regular, because sales dropped massively.

[@Tennessee1981]

Mountain Dew was introduced in the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, TN where it was invented and made. Fun fact! 💯

[@kristianferencik8685]

It was invented in 1940 and commercialised in the 50s.

WHAT?! Come at me bro!!!!!

[@Lil-Dragon]

Ah yes the drink where I learnt high caffeine isn't for me. But the cirtrus taste was needed on a hot day. At least I learnt my caffeine sensitivity level for a theory thing I was interested in. Wish we had like a zero sugar here if my BP drops badly. But God the colour is so scary of the other flavours. EDIT: Found sugar free version in Subway. Definitely need it though only half a bottle a day for my hearts sake. Edit 2: I felt high after a half bottle and definitely don't want to know what a full 500 would do to me.

[@LucyShea81]

I could never get past the almost flat taste. It just isn't nearly as fizzy, as other sodas, to me.

[@terrifick4092]

7up ftw

[@Lil-Dragon]

@@terrifick4092 yh 7up free is my go to unless I'm desperate for caffeine to get through the day and function.

Got to love when somebody that doesn't normally drink Mountain Dew (or soda in general) does a review on it and thinks it really sweet...

[@MarioMastr]

You guys launching this video when we are a week away from Eid when I can actually drink some Mountain Dew is amazing but endurance-testing or should i say... endewrance testing 😏 Edit: Eid Mubarak everybody

This video is just torturing Joe by making him drink every Mountain Dew flavor. Lol

Every single store in Wisconsin it’s like 4$ a 2 liter 2 and some change for a 20 oz, cases are like 6$ but they were up to 9 when the gas prices went up too

[@lzgbonesy4090]

I gotta admit I’ve tried every Mountain Dew and I can say the orange citrus kickstart is by far the best

[@soundlesspeal]

funny, i thought all of europe had the same mountain dews but apparently not? here in finland we have some of the kickstart flavors like the orange citrus, black cherry and fruitpunch, as well as a lemon flavor, although they're called jumpstart instead of kickstart for god knows what reason. we also have a flavor apparently not available in the US called supernova. or maybe it too has a different name idk
