Mtn Dew is known for whipping up some of the most ridiculous and controversial soda flavors, from Fruit Quake to Flamin’ Hot. If there’s one thing they’re good at, it’s getting our attention. And yet another new Mtn Dew flavor is heading to stores in April: Mtn Dew Summer Freeze. Okay, this flavor isn’t exactly new, but it will be available nationally for the very first time.
A new Mtn Dew flavor that isn’t actually new? Please explain.
Last June, Mtn Dew opened the Mtn Dew Outpost on Doe Mountain near Mountain City, Tennessee. Yes, an outpost on a mountain for a mountain-themed soda right next to a city named after a—you got it—mountain. It was an event to which, regretfully, I was not invited. And, oh, how I wish I was! The neon green building was home to all sorts of secret-y and special things, like limited edition bottles, an official Mtn Dew Outpost Ranger, and six all-new outdoorsy flavors to try: elderberry, apple cinnamon, s’mores, huckleberry, summer popsicle, and pickle. (How is pickle outdoorsy? Ask Mtn Dew, not me.) While the people who were lucky enough to try these new flavors were invited to give feedback, no results were ever made public. Then, the flavors disappeared off the face of the planet… until now.
For all of you Mtn Dew fans who are still reeling from the news that Mtn Dew Pitch Black is being discontinued (yet again), just know that something special is on the horizon. Leaked images of the new Mtn Dew flavor’s packaging suggest that it’s the aforementioned “summer popsicle” flavor, and it’s based on those delicious red, white, and blue popsicles that everyone busts out over the summer. It’s not totally clear whether Mtn Dew Summer Freeze will precisely emulate Bomb Pops, but, if so, expect the drink to taste like cherry, lime, and blue raspberry. Mtn Dew described the flavor as “DEW with a Blast of Summer Americana.”
People who’ve gotten their hands on Summer Freeze say the regular version is much better than the zero-sugar version. Mtn Dew is reportedly set to release both the regular and zero-sugar versions in late April, and people are losing it. If a sip of “Summer Americana” sounds too quaint for you, no need to worry. Mtn Dew is also bringing back the classic Baja Blast this summer and introducing newcomers Baja Passionfruit Punch and the extra pink, guava-flavored Baja Caribbean Splash. We’ll be referring to this as the Summer of Soda. Feel free to join us.
UPDATE: Mtn Dew Summer Freeze has been spotted in the wild! On April 17, Dan R. reported to the The Impulsive Buy that the new summertime soda was on shelves at his local Walmart store.
What stores and states and when will it be released Mt dew popsicles summer breeze?
Got my first 12 packs of summer freeze today from ft.inn food lion..waiting for it to get nice and cold from my freezer..
Awesome! Let us know what you think!
I simply missed it I hope so very much too get a second chance Please
Where will you be able to find them?
Should be available wherever you buy Mtn Dew. They’ve been spotted in Walmarts recently and should start popping up elsewhere soon!
Dang, I was hoping Mtn Dew would bring back Baja Punch for the summer. Hands down, it’s the best Dew ever. I was really hoping to see it last summer, but they dropped that terrible Mango Gem flavor instead lol. (The Pineapple was tolerable, though).
What’s this about Pitch Black being discontinued, AGAIN?! I never heard it was coming back, aside from this limited (“very limited”) release in early 2023. Pitch Black was my first heartbreak! I was thrilled when they announced that it beat out Baja Blast back in 2016 and earned a permanent place on supermarket shelves. How it beat out Baja Blast, I have no clue – maybe the Russians hacked the polls! – but I wasn’t going to ask any questions!
Then, they gave it the ax in 2019 and I was devastated lol. It wasn’t just my favorite Dew, or my favorite soda…it was my favorite beverage! My one guilty pleasure!
Why couldn’t they pull Voltage instead?? I have NEVER heard ONE, single person claim that Voltage was their favorite Dew! No one!! Ever!
Mtn Dew whips up ridiculous flavors like Dill Pickle, Flamin’ Hot, Raspberry Lemonade, and a bunch of throw away Baja Summer flavors – then something fans actually drink, like Pitch Black, gets pulled back and forth off the shelves, and a keeper like Baja Punch shows up once and is never seen or heard from again. I’ve been a Dew drinker and fan for over 30 years – not sure if that’s something to brag about – and I’ve came to the realization that’s there’s nothing worth getting too excited for anymore.
Pitch black already gone again.my local walmart doller store and food lion already gone..good thing i bought 6 12 packs of pitch black..1 a day until gone..summer freeze is out on april 24 until june 17 then its gone too.
Can’t wait to try the New Mtn Dew Summer Freeze!!!!!!
Where is Code Red Zero?
I’ve never never seen code red zero sugar…
Excited about summer freeze. But as someone who has to limit their caffeine, I wish they’d make caffeine free again.
Looking forward to this. Faygo has a “bomb pop” flavor called firework I believe, and I love it. Mtn dew can only be better!
Sounds like it’s going to taste like DEW.S.A. from years ago.
Deliver more Mountain Dew throwback the ones made with real sugar. Some people are allergic to corn so the real sugar was great.
Bring White Out back
If you need some body to taste the montan due let me know thanks Tami
If you ever need someone to taste the new mm mountain dew products my name is tamera ball I live at 3026 North Gregg avenue apartment number 11 Fayetteville Arkansas 72703
I don’t care about all those new flavors. Just keep the Orange Kick Starts available! They were hard to find for a while and I find this to be my perfect drink!
Flamin Hot was an Epic Fail. Artic Burst, Fruite Quake was a Surprise if you didn’t try it, it was a cross between Code Red and Holiday Spice Pepsi. I hope Bomb Pop is good. I want Vampire Brew Dew in Blood Orange for Halloween
So mountain dew is now copying faygo that’s great. At least I’ll be able to get the mountain to you at my local store.
Bring Back last Halloween’s and pitch black asap
Keep pitch black and bring back white out . Or make a black and white dew
Just in case no one knows ..food lion has a 2 liter no one else has mountain dew uproara food luon exclusive..i buy it every week and i love it..
Uproara? That’s the name?
Pitch black is a lilmied time only..better grab you like 6 12 packs like i did before it disappears..
I love pitch black but never got to try whiteout cause i never drunk mountain dew until purple thunder came out last year. I stopped buying a month ago when circle k. Jumped up their price of a 20oz to 2.90..
Never drunk moutain dew until purple thunder came out..now i enjoy every different one i find..enjoyed fruit quake..voodoo and now pitch black…and also purple thunder of course until circle k starred charging 2.90 for a 20.oz.. Waiting to try summerfreeze now.
I think they should keep flovers that sell well in certain areas out in those areas and stop delivering the ones no one in those areas buys. Not every area likes the same flavors, so if a wearhouse has a bunch of livewire in TX and one in CT has a bunch of spark and CT sells more livewire but not spark then send the livewire there. And just do that everywhere what seel more out of each hub then that hub only carries those flavors then they don’t have to keep putting what we like away from us and keeping what we don’t out on the shelves.
I know what you mean by that..my walmart doesn’t have frost bite the supposed to be a exclusively mountain dew that a co worker bought me 3 12 packs of frosrbite from Wal-Mart in powdersville cause they dont have in amy area..
Overdrive is the best one, code red, an then the original!!! Casey’s is the only spot for overdrive ” they need to make it more available”!!!!
Wow, innovative.
Pitch Black is da bimb. However Pitch Black II Sour Grape is the best all time. Also a huge Voltage fan.
Wow, that is innovative
I also really enjoy all mtd flavors and I can’t wait to try this new one.
I’m excited can’t wait. I think they should make a lemonade flavor too. I think it’d be an instant favorite maybe next year
They actually did. It’s actually called Mtn Dew Spark. It’s Pink Lemonade, and I enjoyed it 😊
They actually made a crystal clear lemonade flavor a long time ago. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name I only remember it was clear like water.
Dewshine
…or maybe you’re talking about MD Ice
Bring back Baja Blast. We have to go to KFC in order to drink it
Taco Bell sells Baja Blast as a frozen drink and it is amazing!
I suppose you did not finish reading the article, however… “no need to worry. Mtn Dew is also bringing back the classic Baja Blast this summer and introducing newcomers Baja Passionfruit Punch and the extra pink, guava-flavored Baja Caribbean Splash.”
I’m new to mountain dew since last year when purple thunder came out and now i try all i can find.. Dollar store has a pineapple flavor thats so so good..
are u high man, they already brought it back
Love all flavors so far can’t wait to grab and drink this one to taste the wonderful flavor
I would like to be able to get Tennessee Lightning some where other than KFC
I love Tennessee Lightning but having to go to KFC to get a litre of it sucks going to Seven Eleven and getting it as a Slurppie would great especially for summer
Mt. Dew Voltage was so hard to find in 12 pk. I called Pepsi and asked if they could bring more than 4 12 pks to the store. Now he brings at least 20 each time. This is my favorite. My husband is a Mt. Dew acholic. I guess better than anything else.
I wish we could get voltage in the 16.9 bottles. Unfortunately, the only options here are cans and 2 liters (and 20 oz bottles at dollar tree, if I’m lucky).
I just want my pitch black to be a forever flavor. It’s got to have more fans than livewire… does anyone drink that stuff?
Livewire is the best, now that White Out isn’t around.
Never got to try live wire but i heard white out was good but didnt drink sugar sodas so i try it.
I love pitch black and i never drunk mountain dew until purple thunder came out.
I love pitch black ..i have 6. 12packs now cause i know it will soon be gone again..only thing i dont like is supposed to ne available in zero sugar but no one has it only regular.so i had to settle for regular..a co worker found me a mountain dew called frost bite at a walmart store in powdersville..i love it too..
I’m with you all the way on keeping Pitch Black as an all time available Flavor. It’s actually the best and I usually don’t like grape soda but this is grape with a kick
Best Mt. Dew in my opnion
Pitch black is limited flavor and is not permanent so you better get 6 12 packs like i bought and enjoy 1 and a day..i buy 2 12 packs every time food lion has on sale.
Yes I do once in a great while but let’s be honest the reason they still make that and they won’t want to make the pitch back is because one they change the flavor so many times that’s the reason
Mtn Dew Outpost event was not invitational only. I went randomly after my Atlanta plans got canceled. It was for an entire week and anyone could have gone.
