History[]
On August 4th, 2020, on the Dew Drinker Discord, information was leaked by an anonymous individual showing upcoming plans for 2021 with many flavors and new brands alike. All of these leaks are as follows: Major Melon, alongside its Zero Sugar variant, Rise Energy, Baja Blast alongside two flavors, Baja Flash and Baja Punch, DEW-S-A, Riddler's Brew, Gingerbread Snap'd, and a re-release of Pepsi Blue.
Two months after the leaks from August 2020, on October 8th, 2020, a leaked internal reel video surfaced on the same Dew Drinker Discord server, showing upcoming plans for the Mountain Dew brand for 2021. This video reaffirmed much of the previously-leaked information for 2021 for all of the flavors previously mentioned.
Over the course of 2021, some test bottles and advertisements for the drink were seen on some websites. At some point, the drink's color was changed from a brown design to a white design to look more appealing.
It was officially released in stores on November 1st, 2021 throughout the United States for a limited time in 12-packs and 20-ounce bottles until December 31st, the end of Holiday 2021, where after that, Fruit Quake succeeded it in 2022.
Trivia[]

- This flavor appeared to be the second flavor that had the color of the soda changed in its prototype stage. In the prototype stage, it looked to be a brown color, which was later changed to a white color similar to White Out or the VooDEW flavors. As mentioned above, its tagline also changed.
- The first flavor that underwent a color change was DEW-S-A, which initially had a dark purple tint that was later changed to a light purple look.
