Mountain Dew UK - FOR REAL

[xxMATTGxx]

http://www.hodgson.trelader.btinternet.co.uk/res/MountainDew/mountaindew.jpg


After several rumours of a possible relaunch over the years we finally have the news we've all been waiting for. I've met with representatives from PepsiCo, had several phone calls and even tried a sample of the new UK version, and now, I can officially confirm that "Mountain Dew Energy" is set to launch in the UK this spring.

I was contacted by PepsiCo and told about the launch last year but was asked not to report the news until the product was developed further. As you can imagine I didn't want to risk jeopardising the launch so I respected PepsiCo’s request, but now that everything has been finalised I've finally been given the go ahead to report this fantastic news to you all.

Because so many of you contacted Pepsi, signed petitions and joined numerous facebook groups, they finally noticed that we want Mountain Dew and PepsiCo have responded in the best way possible. The new product is going to be called “Mountain Dew Energy” and will be entering into the energy drinks market at the end of April/early May and will initially only be available in bottles. Its going to contain more caffeine than the Mountain Dew we all know so hopefully this will aid in its popularity.

PepsiCo UK have decided (wisely) to stick with the American version of the logo but have added the word “Energy” at the bottom in Mountain Dew's distinctive green colour.

The colour of the actual drink its self is slightly different to the American version as you can see in this photo. Its more yellow than the greenish hue we are all used to. (American Dew on the left, UK on the right)

I hope it has a similar taste to the USA version. I will try this out when it gets released and see if I like it. GOOD NEWS! :D

[ecstasy]

Ive never actually tried the real stuff but im going to America late May so i'll be able to compare. Good news :D

[Nicola]

My friend went to America and loved it and brought loads back, it's okay I guess.

I know a lot of people will by thrilled with this though :P

[dbgtz]

Ours looks like urine. I wonder what it tastes like.

[LouisCollins]

Im so going to buy it

[dirrty]

omg if it tastes the same imma be in heaven srsly. but if it doesn't...*shakes fists*

[jackass]

I might try some and see what the fuss is all about. Doesn't seem all that good though. :(


Ours looks like urine. I wonder what it tastes like.

Just what I was thinking!

[brandon]

Everything tastes better in cans. Why can't they keep it the same as it is in the United States?

[dirrty]

Everything tastes better in cans. Why can't they keep it the same as it is in the United States?
yeah, and by it being in a bottle and looking like piss, that'll put people off straight away lol.

[Smits]

yeah, and by it being in a bottle and looking like piss, that'll put people off straight away lol.

but the bottle is green? ...

[dirrty]

but the bottle is green? ...
isn't that just the colour of the drink inside though? like any other bottled soft drink?

[Axel]

When I tried it, tasted like sprite but worse to me... don't seed what the hype is about.

[Pyroka]

I'm worried it'll taste crap.

Why you ask?

Exhibit A: Sunny D BEFORE they took it off the market

Exhibit B: Sunny D AFTER they changed it and put it back on the market

puke

[joshuar]

If it tastes as good as the American version, i'll be buzzing for weeks! I love this stuff! Even have the tshirt....

[[Chris]]

Love it.. What i cant believe - Is that its actully ORANGE, But it tastes like lemonade.

BUT it can get a bit sickly after a lot of it

[Misawa]

Energy? It bombed in the UK originally, but perhaps if they do stamp "Energy" on the bottle it'll attract the 14-year-old Red Bull/Monster junkies. It will have a different taste because the ingredients used in the US recipe are no longer used in UK ingredients, just like how Coca-Cola tastes different over here than in the US, as does Dr. Pepper, which has a COMPLETELY different taste across the pond.

[RedStratocas]

Ours looks like urine. I wonder what it tastes like.

mountain dew always looks like urine, and it doesnt taste much better tbh.

[Adamm]

Just get some Sprite and add 7 spoonfuls of sugar in it and hey presto you have yourself some Mountain Dew.

[Markeh]

I do like Mountain Dew. I like the original though, bring that over here and I'll be happy.

Really? I just assumed that fizzy drinks are the same wherever

[Tristan]

But Mountain Dew is like, insanely unhealthy... lol.

[Swastika]

why couldn't they just not be awkward and keep the us version instead of making an energy one for the uk?
morons...

[danzooo]

Good news everyone!
I can't wait! I fell in love with Mountain Dew in America last year and I was hoping they were gonna release it in the uk!

I hope it doesn't taste too different!

[Judas]

my brothers friend brought some back like AGEEES ago and i had some and i cant really remember what it tasted like but i remember really liking it LOL so i guess this is good news :P

[Misawa]

It bombed in the UK before, that's the only reason it's being marketed as an energy drink this time round.

[Jongo]

they were forced to make it an energy drink due to the fact it has twice as much sugar/caffeine than a can of coke, thus couldn't be classed as a soft drink as it's too unhealthy -_-

with energy drinks they normally dillute it, hope they dont with this!

[Describe]

There is a shop in town called 'americandy' that sells the canned American stuff but I was told it tasted terrible and so avoided it, what does it actually taste like?

[Misawa]

Sprite and 7Up mixed together with a very sugary taste.

[,Lexiilu]

I absolutely adoreeee mountain dew ♥ best soda out there!
you guys are unlucky that it hasn't been over there! :O

[Jordan:A]

You can find it in a shop called Cyber Candy

[Hitman]

I tried it in Spain and it was horrible.

[AlexOC]

Been buying it at AmericanSoda for ages

hahahahahahahahahahah EVERYBODY LAUGH

[Adamm]

Been buying it at AmericanSoda for ages

hahahahahahahahahahah EVERYBODY LAUGH
So has everyone, it's nothing new.

If I want it, though, I will buy Sprite and 1kg of sugar.

[Swastika]

It's not as bad as everybodys saying on here LOL.

[AlexOC]

So has everyone, it's nothing new.

If I want it, though, I will buy Sprite and 1kg of sugar.

I know its nothing new, thats why i didnt say, its something new, precisely.

[cocaine]

they sell mountain dew in two shops in my town, and one of them has all the american imported drinks (vanilla coke, etc)
its nice stuff

[AlexOC]

Now all we need is Butterfingers and Hersheys.

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2007/0813/tmq_butterfinger_275.jpg

which i also buy online which is really special Adam cos i am only one k

[Agnostic Bear]

Now all we need is Butterfingers and Hersheys.

http://nitecloak.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/hersheybar.jpg
seen a hershey bar when i went up north

[Misawa]

Hershey bars are the most repulsive chocolate ever created. Such low quality and genuinely tastes like vomit. I researched my experience with Hershey's and learned that countless others felt the same way.

[Oleh]

I cant wait for this, countless hours looking in shops in countless countries trying to acquire this beverage, the time has come for me to complete the quest..

so.. if i actually did pour some sugar in sprite itd taste the same or are you being mean about the product?

[Adamm]

It is literally that. Like 100 spoonfuls.

[ecstasy]

hersheys is awful. do not want

[Neil]

There is a shop across the road from me that used to sell it when I was in sixth form, I never tried it but alot of my friends would buy cans every day at lunch, I heard it kind of tasted like lemonade, I'll probably try it but I doubt I'll choose it over Monster.

[Describe]

It is literally that. Like 100 spoonfuls.
Actually it is around 1/4 a cup which is about 11.5 spoonfuls.

[Adamm]

Ever heard of hyperbole?

[Metric1]

Mountain Dew tastes like piss and it lowers your sperm count.

[xxMATTGxx]

Mountain Dew tastes like piss and it lowers your sperm count.

Well most fizzy drinks can have affects on you anyway. Mountain Dew is just another one to add onto the list.

[wiktoria]

Looks disgusting

[Hexable]

I love mountain dew i use to drink it in Australia when i lived there haha

[Danzilla]

Around where i live, they sell the American the cans everywhere. Even in the super markets.
I think its nice, its like a sweet lemonade, kinda tastes abit like fanta lemon.

[xxMATTGxx]

Production of the drink has started:

[Swastika]

are they not making 2l's of the stuff?

[xxMATTGxx]

are they not making 2l's of the stuff?

I think they are going to start with normal bottles for now and see how the sales go. If the sales are good I think they will probably go onto the cans, bigger bottles etc.

[-Danube-]

OMG

I'm gonna buy a whole lorry load

I love this stuff, can't get enough of it when i go to america.

When my sister went to birmingham she found a shop selling it in cans. It was like £2 a can but she bought a few. I think they got it shipped over or something, cos it was flat lol.

Glad they are finally making it. Anyone know when they start selling??

[Black_Apalachi]

For **** sake! I don't want some stupid energy crap that looks exactly like piss. I want Mountain Dew like I had in America :@

[-Heart]

Can't wait to try this. According to their Facebook page it comes out in retail stores tomorrow. May go to my local Co-op and get some.

[Swastika]

comes out tomorrow? defiantly worth a walk over the shops then lol
anybody know if it will be sold in like morrisons and that?

That's what it says on their Facebook.

[Jordy]

Doesn't sound like a very large launch to be honest, I suppose it'll expand;

ill check sainsburys as theres one over the road, and get my mam to check whsmith in town. :D

[Volumise]

I swear they already sell mountain dew in UK but in cans, cos i can remember having it last summer..

[Swastika]

yeah, but if its just coming, they arn't gonna go all out and put it everywhere incase not many get sold.

[xxMATTGxx]

Merged by iAdam (Forum Super Moderator); Due to forum lag.

Yeah, I hope it does expand to be honest. Be nice if they included places like Tesco and so on!

[-Heart]

Anyone reckon it'll be available in my local Co-op?

[Oleh]

Well im frantically trying to find a bottle, any confirmed retailers?

[myke]

ive never had it, i might try it when it gets here idk.

[xxMATTGxx]

Well im frantically trying to find a bottle, any confirmed retailers?

Today: BP Petrol Stations.

[Swastika]

So today i can only get this at a BP petrol station?
Thats stupid lol.

[Oleh]

wish bp had a product search aswell as nearest station, nearest one is 13mile away, im not travelling that to find out they dont have any, ill just wait till i find it

[GoldenMerc]

Does Shell sell it?

[xxMATTGxx]

So today i can only get this at a BP petrol station?
Thats stupid lol.


Mountain Dew UK: DEW IS FINALLY HERE....and some of you have found it already! From today, you'll be able to find it in BP garages and over the next few weeks Dew will be hitting the likes of Total, Shell, Esso, Moto & Welcome Break, WHS Travel, Sainsburys Local and large stores, Martin McColls and some independents. So who's excited then?

From FaceBook.

[GoldenMerc]

So the launch, was pretty much only for BP...

[xxMATTGxx]

So the launch, was pretty much only for BP...

Well no. It just seems they are the only places with it for today for some odd reason, then again most other places would be shut. (Normal shops)

I'm hoping it expands to a big range of places so its easier to get hold of.

[Jordy]

Hmm I tried a Sainsbury Local, couldn't find it and when i asked if they had any I got one of those "what the heck?" looks :P

My mum was saying it's on the ASDA website though so it might be worth checking instore.

[dirrty]

takes the piss that it's not readily available. checked on tescos, sainsburys and asda online and not on there. hopefully it'll pop up sooner or later though as i expect there'd be some sort of promotion/introductory offer.

Also some independents.

[Oleh]

I just want it to come to tesco or one-stop, my closest country wide shops :P

[Black_Apalachi]

I'll buy it if I see if, but I'm not very optimistic about it being as good as the proper stuff.

[Swastika]

i still havn't seen it anywhere, quite a let down if im honest.

[ecstasy]

why bp garages :S
not in my local sainsburys yet

[Swastika]

this has been a big fail, has anybody actually gotten their hands on this yet?

[Sam]

Drinking a bottle right now ;D Hoping to get permission to do a competition/raffle where people can win a 12 pack. We'll see how it plays out :)

[Swastika]

How did you get it? ^

[PaulMacC]

I ordered 12 cans off www.americansoda.co.uk - It was £18, bit of a rip but we'll see.

[Swastika]

Yeah that's defiantly a rip off, i ordered 8 2L bottles for £2 more from somewhere before lol.
Still steep £20 for bottles of pop though, can't wait to it somewhere round here.

[matt$]

I got one from my local bp and at first it taste like normal lemonade but then its like different, hard to explain buts its quite nice, not sure how it differs from the version in US as i've never tried it but its quite good it was £1 btw.

[xxMATTGxx]

this has been a big fail, has anybody actually gotten their hands on this yet?

Many people have got their hands on it according to the comments left on the facebook profile. Although I do have to agree the launch has been some sort of crap, it should of be launched in a ton of stores on the first week at least. I'm still waiting for them too announce it has reached other stores.

[dirrty]

my friend drove 30 miles, ended up on the motorway and went to a bp on there and still didn't find any (i asked him to get me 2 bottles) but still srsly gutted@him lolol.

[Black_Apalachi]

Won't American Soda be the proper American stuff though, rather than this energy drink they're giving us?

[dirrty]

Won't American Soda be the proper American stuff though, rather than this energy drink they're giving us?
yeah it is. just a tad more expensive.

[Sam]

Try calling your local sainsburys. Took me a few tries but i found somewhere selling it in the end ;]

[dirrty]

this is actually one of the worst launches of a product i've ever seen lol (or haven't seen as i'm still waiting to find one :P).

[Swastika]

might have another look round tomorrow for some.

[Pyroka]

Yeah that's defiantly a rip off, i ordered 8 2L bottles for £2 more from somewhere before lol.

bet you got it from the place in poland, some bloke sells it for dirt

Sorry, did you forget your sarcasm helmet?

[Smits]

I saw a bottle of this empty on the floor today, i kneeled down, picked it up in both my hands and began to whimper. Such a cruel way to go.

[Jordy]

So has anyone been able to compare the original Mountain Dew to the new Mountain Dew Energy yet anyway? :P

[Sam]

I had a bottle of each the other day and i can barely taste the difference. I think people are making a big deal out of it all like 'Ohh it tastes rubbish compared to the American version'.

Lies, tastes almost identical :) .. IMO anyway.

[rnix]

What does it actually taste like? :L

[Jordy]

Friend who runs a shop bulk ordered some and gave me three bottles today. You can definitely taste the Mountain Dew, the taste isn't quite as sweet though and there's more of a lemony taste. So to conclude, it's good but not as good as normal Mountain Dew, well worth buying however.

[matt$]

Tbh i personally think it taste of lemonade, but £1 a bottle so you cant really go wrong.

[AlexOC]

******* THIS ********

i still havent seen any :'(

[Adamm]

Tbh i personally think it taste of lemonade, but £1 a bottle so you cant really go wrong.
that's probably because it is lemonade.

[Lew]

I might try some, never been too keen on energy drinks.

AHA I LOVE YOU

i havent seen this anywhere yett though i can buy mountain dew in town anyway from when its been imported.

[Camy]

I found it yesterday and bought 10 bottles lol.
Its definetly different from the U.S. version, its more like Limeade, but its still pretty good :)

[Black_Apalachi]

When I had it in New York I thought it was kind of like lemon & lime / Lilt, but nice. I hate Lilt itself.

[rnix]

they got mountain dew energy in my local "corner" shop :)

[PaulMacC]

Wootzeh that was the first 12 cans, I bought the rest from www.yankeesoda.co.uk - It is far cheaper for me because the seller lives a 20 minute drive away.
I ordered 6 cans of Mountain Dew Voltage and it came today. Cant say I like it too much.

[Oleh]

On friday my mate said its in sainsburys all over uk now, is this true?

[Camy]

On friday my mate said its in sainsburys all over uk now, is this true?
Well the official facebook group has/had a page that said they were starting to sell it in bp garages, then slowly rolling it out to rs mccolls and martins newspaper shops, then sainsburys, so it might be in some of them, but whether theyre in every uk store or not is a bit doubtful.

[flatface]

I have never tried this before, from what people have said it seems quite nice so I'll be sure to try it

[dirrty]

On friday my mate said its in sainsburys all over uk now, is this true?
i saw it on the sainsburys website, but it said it was out of stock in my area :(

[Oleh]

I found it on Sainsburys but I believe it depends on your location if they have it in stock or not. Although my Sainsburys isn't really that close so yeah. :P

[Sly]

[Swastika]

Bought about 10 bottles from BP in Barnet and it tastes penggg! Same as the US version pretty much.

Got some from WHSmith.. soooo good (L)

Never even tasted Mountain Dew in my life, not very popular where I live in Australia.

BTW: Habbo Cola is the way forward.

I've managed to get a few bottles from a sainsburys near my girlfriends house.
Doesn't really taste like the proper stuff, although its still nice - there was no need to change it in my opinion.
We all wanted the proper stuff and got an energy drink LOL.

It was always going to taste different. We can't use the same ingredients in manufacturing as they can in the US. Like I already said, Coca-Cola has a different taste over here, as does Dr Pepper, and now, as you are witness to, Mountain Dew.

[dirrty]

finally had it and it tastes alright, but on comparing it to the proper one, it's not as good imo. bit of a let down but dm.

[Becca]

That looks really good to be honest.
The colour is weird though.

Coke + Dr Pepper taste exactly the same in the US as they do here
