History
- Main article: Game Fuel Promotion
On October 11th, 2021, a user on the Dew Drinker Discord found a listing on PepsiCo's Contact site titled "Mtn Dew Game Fuel Soda Disrespect Citrus Cherry 16 Fl Oz Resealable Can". No renders were available at the time. It was assumed that it was a re-release of Citrus Cherry, with Dr. Disrespect branding. Dr. Disrespect already had a previous collaboration with Mountain Dew, promoting and appearing on limited edition design cans of another Game Fuel flavor, Game Fuel (Charged Cherry Burst).
No other information would come out about the flavor until December 11th, 2021, when renders of the flavor were discovered. This confirmed it as a Dr. Disrespect tie in flavor, as well as its final name, Championship Citrus Cherry.
Championship Citrus Cherry was teased on April 3-4, 2022, and was released on April 5th for a limited time only.
