In a year that was already pretty jam-packed with exciting releases for Mountain Dew (and a few discontinuations), we’ve learned that Mountain Dew still has a few more tricks up their sleeve for us in 2025.
THEY’RE BRINGING BACK EVERY DISCONTINUED FLAVOR OF MOUNTAIN DEW?
Okay maybe not that big of a trick (I’m still waiting for you to bring back Supernova, PepsiCo, I know you’re reading this). However, Pepsi is planning to bring the incredibly hard to find HoneyDEW to the United States this year. It’ll drop on shelves in July in 20-ounce bottles.
HoneyDEW? Tell me more
HoneyDEW, as the name implies, is a honeydew melon flavor of Mountain Dew! It was originally slated to release in the United States in 2023, but was scrapped for the return of fan favorite (and Sporked favorite) Pitch Black. HoneyDEW was only released for a limited time in Canada later that year (and is set to return later this year), making it a very sought-after flavor for die-hard Dew fans in the States.
For the last few years, our sources were very much under the impression that HoneyDEW would never get a release in the United States. So, this news comes as a very pleasant surprise! It’s a Mountain Dew Christmas in January miracle!
Where will I be able to find HoneyDEW?
According to snackfluencer Team Supernova, HoneyDEW is set to be an exclusive flavor at Maverik (a gas station in Western parts of the U.S.). Though rumors suggest that HoneyDEW may also be available at Meijer (Ohio/Michigan based grocery store) and Wawa (East Coast convenience store).
Whatever the case, it’ll certainly be easier to get your hands on HoneyDEW rather than either making a trek up to Canada or importing it. What’s more is that HoneyDEW will not be a limited time flavor. As long as it’s selling, the stores will continue to carry it.
Will it be available in zero sugar?
I hate that I always have to be the bearer of bad news. Unfortunately there is no zero sugar planned for this one.
Whether you were a fan of HoneyDEW when it was available in Canada or a fan of honeydew melons, or if you’re just someone who likes to try all of the new Mountain Dew flavors (aka me), this is certainly a release to get excited about. Don’t mind if I honeydew. (Why are you booing me?)
