The New Mountain Dew Variety Pack Is Filled with Throwback Favorites

Ah, the past. Simpler times. Happier times. Times when we enjoyed the delicious taste of Mountain Dew’s alternative flavors without a care in the world. Yes, we are well aware that we’re doing Mountain Dew’s marketing for it with that last sentence – but that’s what the brand clearly wants you to think with its new Variety Pack. The drinks giant is bringing out a new three-pack that contains a trio of throwback flavors, including one that’s been gone for a while.

Intrigued? That’s what we like to hear, people. Let’s check out what Mountain Dew has planned.

Mountain Dew Variety Pack: Good Things Come In Threes

News of Mountain Dew’s new variety pack came via @snackwire, who also told us which three flavors we can expect in it. The pack will include:

Mountain Dew Code Red

The brand’s combination of cherry and citrus notes has been around since 2001, making it officially the same age as “Shrek,” which makes us feel all nostalgic (and very old). This variation has been a staple in the Mtn Dew product line for ages, and last year PepsiCo brought out Hard Mountain Dew Code Red, a boozy version. If we’re being real with you, when we taste-tested it, we found that it had a weird aftertaste. But that’s by the by, because here, you’re getting the non-alcoholic kind.

Mountain Dew Voltage

Ah, Mountain Dew Voltage. The brand’s raspberry-flavored drink has been on shelves for a minute, and for all of that minute, we haven’t loved it. It’s actually our least favorite Mtn Dew flavor, which is saying a lot considering how many options you have. Nonetheless, it’s going to be in this new variety pack, so…let’s celebrate, I guess?

Mountain Dew White Out Smooth Citrus

Now we’re interested! We reported on the fact that Mountain Dew White Out might be coming back this year a couple of weeks ago, and now we seem to have gotten confirmation of that via this variety pack. White Out Smooth Citrus has a tart, bright flavor profile with almost a yuzu note, and it was refreshing – so when it was discontinued in 2019, people weren’t happy. Well, now, they can be. Because it’s back. Allegedly. Maybe.

When Will This New Variety Pack Be Available?

According to @snackwire, we’re looking at a mid-to-late May release for this new selection, although it is quick to note that nothing’s been officially confirmed just yet. That said, it’ll probably launch in major retailers. We also hope that Mountain Dew White Out Smooth Citrus will be available separately, if you don’t want to have to deal with the Voltage of it all. Ready to get your variety on?
