LIVEWIRE

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2005, now permanent with limited availability)

Mountain Dew's first orange-flavored soda increased sales by 10% in its first year. PepsiCo marketed it as "Orange Ignited" before changing it to "Dew sparked with orange." You could even find it for a time as a Slurpee and an alcoholic version (for those looking for an extra buzz).

PITCH BLACK

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2021

This dark grape soda debuted for Halloween 2004 and became extremely popular. In 2005, Mountain Dew released an extra-sour sequel called Pitch Black II. Though it was voted to become permanent, it only lasted 17 years.

MDX

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2006

This was Mountain Dew’s energy drink. The MDX contained guarana, taurine, ginseng, and D-ribose. It was developed to compete against Coca-Cola's Vault. The name confused consumers, who did not know it was a Mountain Dew drink.

SUPERNOVA

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2008, brief return 2011

This was a bright pink strawberry-melon soda with ginseng. It came in second in the first DEWmocracy campaign. Most thought it tasted like strawberry lemonade, even though it had no citrus.

REVOLUTION

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2008, brief return 2011

Revolution was a sky-blue wild berry soda with ginseng and placed third in the DEWmocracy campaign. Reviewers described it as tasting like flavored club soda.

TYPHOON

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2011, online return 2022

This red-orange tropical punch flavor lost the DEWmocracy II campaign to White Out with 40% of votes. After the soda was discontinued, Mountain Dew brought it back in 2022, but you could only buy it online.

DISTORTION

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2010

Distortion was a lime-flavored soda that performed poorly in the DEWmocracy II campaign and finished last in the 2010 FanDEWmonium diet competition. It briefly appeared as a Taco Bell Freeze in 2013-2014.

WHITE OUT

Discontinued: 2019

This white citrus soda won DEWmocracy II with 44% of the votes. Mountain Dew gave White Out different flavors by region before officially canning it.

DIET SUPERNOVA

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2011

This diet version of Supernova won the FanDEWmonium campaign with 55% of the votes. But Diet Supernova performed poorly commercially and was removed from the market after just twelve weeks.

SANGRITA BLAST

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2017

Sangrita Blast was a maroon citrus punch exclusive to Taco Bell restaurants. For a limited time in 2015, Mountain Dew also released it in bottles and cans.

DEWSHINE

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2017

This clear citrus soda came in glass bottles instead of plastic. But there were legal issues around the moonshine-referencing name, which may have caused Mountain Dew to pull the plug.

FROST BITE

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2025

Frost Bite was a bright blue drink with a tropical melon flavor. It was sold exclusively at Walmart. Though many hardcore Mountain Dew fans made the weekly trek to the retail giant, it never reached the scale needed to become a permanent offering.

SPARK

Discontinued: 2025

Spark featured a raspberry lemonade flavor. It was first sold exclusively to Speedway gas stations and became so popular it went nationwide in 2022. Mountain Dew changed its color from light red to pink and used Charlie Day in advertisements.

MAJOR MELON

Discontinued: 2025

This watermelon-flavored soda, with bright pink coloring, was the first mainstream melon soft drink. Mountain Dew originally announced Major Melon as permanent, making its discontinuation surprising.

PepsiCo

Discontinued: 2025

Voo-Dew was a Mountain Dew annual Halloween mystery flavor that challenged fans to guess the secret taste. In 2025,PepsiCo replaced it with a Trolli Cherry-Lemon collaboration.
