[b]Long long ago in the 1940's, Mountain Dew was born![/b]
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b3/Mountain_Dew_logo.svg/200px-Mountain_Dew_logo.svg.png[/img]
The formula was made and first marketed in Marion, VA, Knoxville and Johnson City, Tennessee, USA through the 1940s. It was then distributed by Pepsi in the early 60's in the United States.
Mountain Dew was released to the UK in 1996 but production stopped in 1998 due to poor sales.
It was only obtainable by specialized order until May of this year when it was re branded as an energy drink by the same company that produces Red Bull.
Behind Coke, Pepsi, and Diet Coke, Mountain Dew is the 4th most popular soft drink in the United States while the nasty as hell Diet version is in 9th where it belongs.
Different Varieties:

Just the run of the mill Mountain Dew choc full of delicious sugar.

[b]Mountain Dew Code Red:[/b]
In my opinion (being as this thread is totally opinionated), the best flavor yet. Normal Dew with a "Kick" of cherry.

[b]Mountain Dew Live Wire:[/b]
Orange flavored Dew, starting in 2003 being released every summer but in 2005 it was produced year round. Personally my second favorite especially when I was younger.

[b]Mountain Dew Baja Blast:[/b]
A "Lime-Pineapple" flavored Dew sold only at Taco Bell. I personally am not a fan of this beverage.

[b]Mountain Dew Voltage:[/b]
A newer Dew released two years ago through the DEWmocracy promotion. I would recommend you don't drink to much of this as it leaves a bad after taste.
First DEWmocracy set of beverages:

[b]MTN Dew Distortion:[/b]
A lime flavored Mountain Dew. Part of the second Mountain Dew "DEWmocracy: Collective Intelligence" promotion.
[b]MTN Dew White Out:[/b]
A citrus flavored Mountain Dew. Part of the second Mountain Dew "DEWmocracy: Collective Intelligence" promotion. Personally my favorite of the 3.
[b]MTN Dew Typhoon:[/b]
A tropical strawberry-pineapple flavored Mountain Dew. Part of the Mountain Dew "DEWmocracy: Collective Intelligence" promotion. Also my least favorite, it has a bad after taste.

[b]Mountain Dew Throwback:[/b]
Mountain Dew made with natural sugar. Packaging originally used a retro 70s/80s logo for the label and when it relaunched it used a white, red and green color scheme featuring the iconic cartoon Willy the Hillbilly. The 2009 version's formula had real sugar and no orange juice, whereas the 2010 version's formula has orange juice in it. I yet to have this version.
Old sign featuring Willy the Hillbilly:

[b]Mountain Dew Pitch Black I/II:[/b]
A grape flavored Dew which came out for Halloween in 2004. I loved this one a lot along with live wire when I was younger.

[b]Mountain Dew Game Fuel WoW edition:[/b]
A very Very VERY sugary beverage in 2 flavors, Cherry Citrus and Wild-Berry. Currently discontinued (Praise the lord) but is still sold in some places.

[b]Urban Legends:[/b]
[quote]Two urban legends about Mountain Dew exist, particularly among American high school students. One is that it somehow causes shrunken testicles and/or penis size. The other is that it somehow lowers sperm count, a legend which may have a positive (birth control) or negative (long-term sterility) spin depending on the teller (and audience). Both myths are typically attributed to the dye Yellow #5 (tartrazine), and both are false and unfounded.[30][31] Yellow #5 has never been scientifically linked to any of the alleged effects in the legends, nor has any other component of the drink. Thus, there is no evidence that Mountain Dew is any more hazardous (or beneficial) to health than other caffeinated, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, assuming one is not allergic to Yellow #5.
The urban legends appear to have originated in the mid-1990s, perhaps even earlier. Origins are unclear.[/quote]

angry man on the internet..
i forgot how insulted ignorant people get
when you state your opinion they don't agree with.
Mountain Dew Original looks like deer piss. I admit I like Voltage, but only once in a while. The soda is just way too sugary.
Also, green tea is equally bad or worse than Mountain Dew.

I'd rather have my innards un-tickled, thank you very much :colbert:
I still await for Mountain Dew to be sold in the UK. I've yet to even have a sip of it.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;22384930]I still await for Mountain Dew to be sold in the UK. I've yet to even have a sip of it.[/QUOTE]
It's sold there (to the best of my knowledge) under the name Mountain Dew Energy.

Code Red ftw!
White-out is the best out of the current Dewmocracy candidates, I love it.
Ive tried every kind so far besides typhoon, Baja Blast and Gamer fuel are really good. Well every flavor is awesome, besides distortion, that shit tastes way to much like lime.
How good is typhoon?
[QUOTE=Dalto11;22385081]White-out is the best out of the current Dewmocracy candidates, I love it.[/QUOTE]
Tastes like those shark popsicles.
I don't like Mountain Dew. But they make the kind that uses pure cane sugar, that is actually good.
Goodbye sperm
If you don't like Voltage you're a communist.
Livewire (orange) still remains my favorite
omg i love mountain dew Livewire but i cant find it anywhere D:
Code red = :rock:

It's all copy pasta from wikipedia... with crappy commentary added.
Pepsi is awesome.

Gas stations
Original was alright, but then it went downhill from there.
Why do they only sell Baja Blast at Taco Bell?!
If I had a choice, I would replace every thing I ever drank with that. However, I can never achieve this dream because I'm not going to drive all the way to Taco Bell just to order a soda. They need to sell that shit in packs.
We only have one type of mountain dew here in Australia :(
