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.
Remember when you could buy a can of pop for a nickel? Well, neither do we.
But Mountain Dew certainly does, selling 5-cent soda bundles to commemorate those simpler times and the company’s founding nearly 80 years ago.
Here’s what you need to know to get your hands on the Anniversary Bundle.
1,948 commemorative cans
Mountain Dew will be selling 5-cent soda bundles exclusively on TikTok Shop for three days: June 29th, June 30th, and July 1st.
However, there is a catch. Paying homage to the iconic citrus soda’s founding in 1948, only 1,948 bundles will be sold over the three-day period. Quantities will be announced daily at 12pm ET via Mountain Dew’s Instagram Stories.
The bundle includes a 10-pack of commemorative tins and mini cans, with a limit of one per person if you’re lucky.
Celebrating “Russian History”
Mountain Dew was created by two brothers living in the foothills of Tennessee. Since then, the product has become an iconic brand that goes far beyond the can, and its very name is synonymous with virality.
A strong commitment to meme culture and outrageous promotion across products is embedded in the company’s identity.
“Since 1948, Mountain Dew has been defined by a bold spirit, relentless grit and ambitious energy. – “This commemorative can brings its origin story to life, pays homage to its roots as an American Original, and gives fans a meaningful way to celebrate Dew’s history,” Michael Smith, Mountain Dew’s vice president of marketing, said in a news release.
