Mountain Dew - COMING BACK TO THE UK!

[xxMATTGxx]

Well, many people have been waiting for this for a very long time.




In October 2008, it was announced that Pepsi would be redesigning their logos and re-branding many of their core products by the end of 2008. At the same time they registered the name "mtn dew" and a related logo (see below) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.[3]. This also announced the re-launch of Mountain Dew in the UK, which was dropped by Pepsi in 1998 as 'sales were not as good as anticipated'

From wiki but;

They have also released a new logo:

Good news.

[Pyroka]

MY STOMACH RUMBLES IN ANTICIPATION AND HUNGER.

[Captain]

The new pepsi logos look stupid. They look like a korean knock off, looking forward to mountain dew though :)

[Jordy]

It's well worth getting it, I got some for Christmas and it's almost on par with Coke. Can't wait till it comes to the UK :)

[mangle]

uhm mountain dew is like one of those drinks i drink when i feel like drinking something different

[xxMATTGxx]

So its actually out? Will have to go and check the shop sometime soon! :P

[Pyroka]

I doubt its out yet, my friend in Scotland said they sell it in this shop near here, and they even sell the rare flavours which are hard to find in US.

I have a new home (H)

[tdi]

love this stuff, used to drink it ages ago when it was in the UK then my uncle brought some back from USA for me, it's really nice and I would welcome it back here.

[Robbie]

I've never had it but really want some :(

[Wayne]

I've seen it before in the UK in cans.

[Alkaz]

Never tried it, alot of hype about it though. + I dont like their new logo.

[joshuar]

Love Mountain Dew :D My parents bought me 12 cans for xmas and i'm trying to savour them.

[Alkaz]

LOL Josh :P where do you but it from?

[tdi]

LOL Josh :P where do you but it from?
you can get it from a place called American Soda AFAIK..

not so sure on the new logo tbh.

[brandon]

My sperm are shivering at the thought of it

[PaintYourTarget]

There's a market stall in Coventry which sells cans for £1.10 each, I guess that's gonna go outa business.
Apparently they also sell it in the Birmingham Waitrose already and have done for some time?

Ah well, it's all I lived on in New York so I'm well up for this.

[xxMATTGxx]

Some places like small town shops or whatever you wanna call them. Sell it, but around where I live no one sells it. So hopefully if its true and Pepsi (pls do), bring it back over to the UK. I can pick it up from Tesco :D

I work in stock control in my local Tesco. If I see any sitting in the warehouse/on the system I'll make sure to post =]

[Mr.Sam]

Mmm Mountain dew <3

Used to keep the bottles in the snow on the balcony so you get a little slush at the top ^_^

[James!]

It's been banned in the UK for ages due to it's high sugar levels. Looking forward to it coming back though.

[Jordy]

It's been banned in the UK for ages due to it's high sugar levels. Looking forward to it coming back though.I haven't heard that before but I just went and checked a 250ML can of Red Bull has 10g of Sugar from I can tell and a 365ML can of Mountain Dew has 40g of Sugar...

Edit: Red Bull is actually 10g of Sugar per 100ML so it's only slightly less than Mountain Dew which makes me doubt your claim.

[xxMATTGxx]

Mountain Dew has for a long time had two sides why it disappeared from the UK. 1. Due to not selling well back then. or 2. Due to what's it made off e.g sugar levels. I go with the first one to be honest.

Thanks :)

[Pyroka]

LEGEND. If you see Mountain Dew I will screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam.

[Jackbee]

They sell it in cans in my local shopping centre, but its £1.90!!

It won't be yet, it will just come in and then you will be hosted with a SEL, Plus stock controllers won't be able to check via progress or the new incarnation of progress

Go back to Job 14 ;)

I know Middlewich and Croydon DC's will be ones to check as they have all the drinks etc

Mountain Dew is soda water all sickly in my opinion

[GommeInc]

Ewww, bad choice. It's a horrible drink, horrid taste and it's not very good for you apparently. Surely this is a wrong time to bring out a product?

[Jord]

Ive never tryed it :o

Aha, if you're familiar with us Job14ers you must understand we sit in the Stock Control office doing sweet nothing preferring to read the random piles of paper work =]

And I've moved off it onto Provisions now, but seeing as it was my old department I always seem to get stuck on it.

[Falcon]

It's exactly like sprite.

[5,5]

I can go to the store right now and get some if I really wanted :)

But yeah I like the new logos than Pepsis released but I prefer the old the old ones.

[Imosae]

I had some today

Pah, they're too lazy :P The first and last pages are the ones that people really should read before posting :P

Mountain Dew was rather skanky, and that's the American one! It'll be a bad move on Britvic's part to sell it.

my sperm cells may stay in-attacked now

[Crimson]

YESSSSSSS.


I LOVE MOUNTAIN DEW

[Hurts]

Mountain Dew is soo nice, much better than 7up. I e-mailed them last year and got the same reply back :( We don't have a very intresting range of products in the UK by Pepsi/Britvic. I wouldn't mind some Pepsi Blue either. I used to buy it from American Soda but not really worth all that money.

[tdi]

crystal pepsi

..oh dear.

oh & it's not 'over hyped lemonade' it's actually quite nice, wouldn't go through the lengths of importing it but i would buy it if it made it's arrival in the uk.

[jimi]

I had some when I went Las Vegas (America) I loved it and it became my favourite drink, I'm gutted they dont have it in United Kingdom, but Sprite is an alternative I guess

[shizzle]

OMG YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!
WHEN I WENT TO FLORIDA IT WAS ALL I DRUNK
ITS SO NICE
ITS LIKE LEMONADE BUT NICER!! :D
It sounds very tasty.

[Jord]

It sounds very tasty.


Lets hope it is

[LoveToStack]

Who cares. Nothing can out-win DrPepper. /thread.

[leah]

Ive never had that before, ill try it :)

[J0SH]

If you want Mountain Dew just buy Sprite and put a bag of sugar mixed in, there you go.

[tdi]

Who cares. Nothing can out-win DrPepper. /thread.
dr pepper is disgusting.

and MD isn't just lemonade/sprite or whatever, it's got a unique taste which is surprisingly nice.

[xxMATTGxx]

So Isnt it coming out ?

Well I'm not sure, email got sent to me saying no. But they seem to say that all the time. We just have to wait and see :(

[Urnuph]

awesome, now i dont gotta buy it from ebay shipped all the way from america

[xxMATTGxx]

I still not found any updates on this, hopefully it comes true soon :P

[Abbie.]

this american asked me for mountain dew and gave me a bit lecture on what im missing

i bet its horrible

[RedStratocas]

ITS HORRIBLE.

really, dont waste your time. i live in the u.s. and i dont know anyone who drinks mountain dew on an even semi-regular basis. its tastes like extremely sweet sprite, its far worse for you, and it looks like urine. thats all there is to it.

you're not missing anything. its really the lamest soda around, the last thing i'd chose tbh.

[dirrty]

i LOVE mountain dew srsly. like i go dubai regularly n its sold there. so my mum buys a pack of 24 whenever n i drink it like its water lolol. if they sold it here it'd be all i drink. won't b gd for me but who cares lol. going dubai again next month lol.

do y'anno when it'll be sold ere, or is it just "sometime 2009" for now?

[5,5]

I disagree, I live in the US as well and mountain dew is probably my favorite soda lol.I dont drink any soda on a regular basis, but when I drink it md is usually my first choice. I dont really see how it tastes my sprite tbh. And its green so idk how it looks like piss either lol :S

[mandy1231]

[9y]

Iv always been a Diet Coke lover, but once the Dew hits the shelves, il be there! Love the stuff

[Missamylee.x]

Ahh, I love mountain dew!
Can't wait till it comes to the uk.

[--ss--]

Can't wait.

[J0SH]

I was gonna buy 24 but it's like £20+ which is well expensive considering canned drinks here are 50p each :(

Anyone know if it's coming to the UK?

[Captain]

Apparently it isn't coming but who knows
