DEWcision 2023 is the unofficial name given to a cancelled promotion that would have involved the limited-time return of Pitch Black and Typhoon to store shelves alongside their Zero Sugar variants. Like its predecessor DEWcision 2016, it would have involved fans voting in various ways on the two flavors, with the winning flavor likely remaining on store shelves past the promotion.
Background[]
Despite its victory in DEWcision 2016, Pitch Black was discontinued in mid-2019 due to low sales, with reports that the region-specific Caffeine-Free Mountain Dew outsold Pitch Black. Ironically, Pitch Black's competitor Baja Blast continued to get annual store releases in the following years.
The promotion was first confirmed in a Reddit post on the r/MountainDew subreddit, and then corroborated by a post by Team Supernova on Facebook. The event was later confirmed to be canceled by a trusted anonymous source.
