Mountain Dew launches new dirty soda drink. See USA TODAY to try it out.
USA TODAY’s Mike Snyder tried Mountain Dew’s newest drink, Dirty Mountain Dew. Let’s see what he thought.
American Dew, anyone?
To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Mountain Dew is releasing a limited edition 12-ounce can and 20-ounce bottle under the name “American Dew.” American Dew, which will be sold throughout the summer, also celebrates Mountain Dew’s 78th anniversary with Tennessee ties.
“Since 1948, Mountain Dew has been defined by bold, unapologetically Tennessee-born flavor. ‘American Original – Tasting Great Things ’48’ is a tribute to our origins and the fans who have propelled the brand forward for nearly 80 years,” Michael Smith, Mountain Dew vice president of marketing, said in a news release. “‘American Dew’ is a tangible celebration of that story and was created to commemorate this moment in a meaningful way.”
Why not take a sip? Here’s what you need to know about the newly released American Dew.
