Mountain Dew UK - FOR REAL

[xxMATTGxx]

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)

Just what I was thinking!

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