History[]

(2010) Pepsi Fusion test market release[]

In 2009, Coca-Cola released a touchscreen soda fountain called the Coca-Cola Freestyle. A year after, PepsiCo quickly responded with an equivalent touchscreen soda fountain called the Pepsi Fusion, designed to compete with Coca-Cola's Freestyle machine.

PepsiCo then conducted a test market release in 2010 in various restaurants for a short period of time. The flavors available in the Pepsi Fusion machine were Lemon, Lime, Grape, Orange, Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Wild Berry, for a total of eight flavor shots.

(2011 - 2012) Japanese release[]

On January 26th, 2011, Suntory announced they would release Mountain Dew Grape for the Spring of 2011 in 355ml (U.S. 12-ounce) cans. It featured a moderate sweet flavor and a purple packaging color that was made to stand out in vending machines.[1]

Its planned release on April 19th, 2011 was delayed due to the Tohoku Earthquake, and it was eventually released a little over a month later on May 24th, 2011. The flavor was sold in certain Japanese vending machines, mainly Boss.
