I drank the old MD and I drink the new. But the more I think about it, the more I know that something changed. According to records the original formula was made in '58 and changed to corn syrup in 2015.
In a year will be the 60th anniversary of when the formula was changed. I want you to to join me on January 1st of 2018 by drinking a can, cup, glass or any other container filled with Mountain Dew!

Humm Today June 3rd 2017 .. Im in the UK and have been a huge fan Of Mountain Dew .. Untill possibly today .. Many gallons per year have i drunk since i stumbled across this product .. It has become my go to drink on any long journey and on very hot days ( ok in the uk hot days are not that often ) but MD always revived me physically and mentally untill today ... 400 mile journey i purchased 6 bottles of MD from the first garage packed them into my ice box ... looking forward to hitting them it was a swealtering day and 45 mins after kick off i grabbed my first bottle ... erm from the first slug i realised something was amiss ... and had to exit the motorway ... parked sniffed the drink it smelt weak infact it nearly had no smell at all ... i opened another one it was exactly the same so was the third one .... i drove several more miles and pulled into another service station .... this one only sold cans of MD so i purchased just 1 at the start walked outside popped thye ring ........... and yippee slugged the entire can down in one huge gulp .. it was great ... ran back into the shop and purchased his entire stock .. Sadly only 14 cans but i knew that would complete this journey .. i have checked since journeys end bottles date october 17 ... can july 17 ... i am preying the bottles contense was just a bad batch if not sadly i wont be purchasing any more and at moment i dont know what i replace MD with ...

I miss Mtn dew distortion it was one of the flavors that came out with voltage and white out. it was some sort of contest where you could vote for your favorite and they would produce a whole other line, voltage and white out made the cut apparently distortion did not :( i wish they would do a throw back of it so i could at least stock up on some it was soo fraking good!

The mountain dew they sell here in the uk is crap, tastes nothing like it does in the US, and now you can't import the proper stuff because it's bad for us apparently.
It should be my choice if i want to drink it not someone elses
gary

Look up BVO (brominate vegetable oil). Banned in quite a few countries. Wish they would ban here in U.S.A.

I can walk into any corner store to buy a Mountain Dew, but what sucks is I can't do that if I am looking for the throwback, made with sugar cane.

i believe the reason it is banned in europe is due to the fact that it contains a chemical called ETDA which while preventing the formation of carcinogenic byproducts in the soft drink is itself toxic.
nikki
Here in Michigan its very popular! We have regular Dew,Code Red, LiveWire, Pitch Black, Ultra Violet, and Game Fuel. At our local BP gas station you can buy in bulk for a cheap price! Just ordered 50 cases (24 packs) last week!

Steve

conor
The rumor that Yellow No. 5 used in Mountain Dew reduces sperm count is an urban legend. If there was any danger of your sperm count being reduced they would replace it with some other safer dye.

Let's not be stupid now...
Megan
YOU CAN GET IT EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA
DEW
wow, i've been reading some of these posts, and i can't believe it! apparently canadian sodas can only contain caffeine if they're dark-colored? and they don't even have mountain dew in the uk because of food coloring?? wowww, we put food coloring and dyes in almost everything. not saying that's a good thing, but we still don't ban it just cuz it's bad for us.

the way i see it, it's your choice if you want to eat/drink things that are possibly bad for you. i mean, if it's done in moderation, then what's the harm?
this is strange.
anonymous
I LOVE MOUNTAIN DEW!!! it is so f**king good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i could drink it all day if i could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kasey lyn
in finland you can get 0.5l, 1l, and 1.5l bottles of dew and various sizes in cans
kiropark
yeah, it sounds like this is the kind of hyped up shite, that only a London nob head would drink. Thats where you'll find it , next to the charity shop that has a bently parked outside. F**kin stinks london, the only world capital that has more bloody foreigners in residence than its natives.
Ripsnort
you can't get it in Fazakerley.
What is it anyway, sounds like piss and caffeine.....
Ripsnort
try ebay for m dew. cheapest youll find
lenny coco
Those wanting Mountain Dew in the North West of England, they sell it at a shop in Chester. It's in a shopping centre that sells American stuff- chocolate, sweets etc. It's a bit pricey at £1.40 a can, so I'd recommend www.americansoda.com Much cheaper- especially in bulk.
Al from Preston
Mountain Dew is widely available in both the US and Australia...i think its just europe that's got the restrictions on it...its widely available in a lota asian countries too...
Ace from queens in melbourne

peter
how do i get hold of mountain dew if i live in the UK?
daniel
If anyone needs any original Mountain Dew, let me know. I can send it for a small fee. It is widely available in the good old USA. I know that Europe has stricter laws concerning ingestible products and maybe it is the yellow #5, which gives Mt dew its distinct shade, that is not allowed in Europe. I could do a bit of research, as I work in an industry that deals with all of the restrictions in the European Community and would just need to type a few words into our database at work.
Rebecca
"Plain old Mountain Dew" in the US is the energy kind. Mountain Dew has always been caffeinated in (most of) the USA. Dew Fuel is marketed as a "natural health product" in Canada to circumvent Health Canada's laws about caffeine in soft drinks. As far as I can see, it has essentially replaced the caffeine free Canadian Mountain Dew, I'd assume that they had to change the name to comply with health Canada's regulations (as Mountain Dew is already a brand of "soft drink").
Paul
Mountain Dew is available in every state in Australia.
Dj Mr T
I live in New Brunswick Canada and they only sell Mountain Dew Fuel, which is Mountain Dew with a crap load of caffeine and stuff in it. In Maine, USA though you can still get just plain old regular Mountain Dew, and you can also get all the other different flavors. But in Canada, or at least in N.B they took out all the regular and replaced with the energy kind.
Canadian Chicky

When i was on holiday in spain july 2004 i purchased a shed load of the stuff it was in a purple can from a supermarket called massymass it was nice but definetly a chemical brew,i had never herd of it before but my mate said it was around in the u.k in the late ninties.
William the bloody
I used to live in America a LONG time ago (10 years) and then i moved over to Ireland. Simple things.

1: Mountain Dew is tasty
2: Mountain Dew not sold in Ireland (And if it is...will someone tell me where?)
3: Apparently contains someting called Yellow 5 or something. Colouring. Apparently kills sperm cells. In which case, you can keep your tasty mountain dew.
4: Due to lack of sperm cells, works as an excellent contraception technique. Must consume enough to drown a small island.

Paul
In the US they have Code Red (cherry), Live Wire (orange), and Pitch Black (grape).
Nat
the blue stuff is called baja breeze
niki
It got banned in the UK because of the more stringent laws as to what foods can contain, and Mountain Dew had far to many E numbers (strange additives which f*** with your digestive system) in it. Thats supposedly the reason although i think it just wasn't selling well in the UK!
bsking
It featured in the simpsons when homer goes to new york to get his car back. (barney had left it there whilst drunk...) The car is right between the twin towers (the episode was pre-9/11) and has a wheel clamp plus shitloads of parking tickets. He has to wait at the car for the guy to turn up and take the clamp of.. After eating loads of kebabs (STICK, STICK!)he asks for something to wash it down and is offered Mountain Dew or Crab juice. His response... UCK Mountain DEW... I'll have the Crab juice! Just a little dig from the creators of the simpsons at mountain dew. Incedently you can buy it in england but only really in London. Can't imagine why anyone here would choose to live outside the capital though...
James in London
They sell it in canada still...so i dunno wat u ppl r talkin about and theres a bunch of flavors
Hellsexyangel
I'm drinking one as we speak...........?

you could get that from just about everywhere where I live...

Linda a
Canadian mountain dew is different from american because it doesn't contain caffine

P.S. Canadian laws state that the drink must be of dark color like coke or pepsi if it is to contain caffine. because clear drinks create the illusion of being caffine free

canuck
Its called Mt Dew Blue Shock.Its a slushy at some convenience stores.I should know I work for them.
Sinned
I have that Blue. Mt. Dew, I bought it over at 7/11.. :S
Nathan
Mountain Dew is huge. It's made by Pepsi Co. A new grape flavor, Pitch Black, came out last summer.
Ev
They have blue mountain dew, but its only at Taco Bell, no where else. It's called Baja Blast or something like that.
You can buy it from Pinto's Delicatessen in the west end of Glasgow.
Fiona
A friend of mine went to Taco Bell in Farmingville (Long Island, New York) yesterday (7-25-04) and they have a limited edition Blue Mountain Dew in the fountain machine. I am going to go and check it out this week.
Christine
I have seen a blue mountain dew. I think the flavor was actually called mountain blue or something. I saw it a couple years ago in Colorado. And I'm not sure where all you guys are from but it's definitely still pretty big in the states.
monkeybizg
moutin dew is still big in the states and its not like it was that long ago that it was popular... and im pretty sure there is no blue mountin dew red and orange yes but no blue
Eva
It's everywhere in Australia. I have sum in my fridge now. It's good stuff.
Bek
It's sold here in Australia, my boyfriend thinks it's the best thing. I don't think anyone else drinks it though! His name is Drew, so he calls it Mountain Drew. Very cute.
D
There is no such thing as Mountain Dew "Code Blue".
Krispystick
Still sold and consumed in vast quantities in the US. If you're on the Atkins diet...stay away from it. It has OODLES of carbs.

But, if you're drinking Mt. Dew... you're not worried about carbs. You want caffeine and taste. It's still got both.

Damn Good Stuff!
Moparman
ITS VERY GOOOOOOOOOD! I WANT SOME!
JOJU
don't forget the orange kind...it's pretty good, but I wish that they had it in diet
anonymous
