Energised
Energised is a Mountain Dew flavor variant exclusive only to Australia. Like Citrus Charge in Canada, this version has the exact same color and taste as its precursor, but with caffeine.
History[]
In June 2012, the Mountain Dew brand in Australia was relaunched and caffeine was added, similar to Canada's relaunch a few months prior to its release. It was first released to Australian KFC restaurants and later became available at convenience stores and other markets across Australia.
In early 2016, a freeze variant was exclusively released at KFC restaurants in Australia.
Trivia[]
- Energised is one of many attempts at a Mountain Dew energy drink (see "Related Flavors" in the infobox for more).
- In 2014, a Code Red variant was released for a limited time, followed by a Major Melon variant in 2022 and a Passionfruit Frenzy variant in 2024.
- Despite being launched as a new 'flavour', as mentioned previously, this variant of Mountain Dew tastes no different than the original recipe.
