Lemonade with Ginger was a Mountain Dew flavor test marketed in a "Dew After Dark" campaign program from October to November 2014 alongside DEWitos (Vault flavor 2), Mango Habanero (Vault flavor 3), and Rainbow Sherbet (Vault flavor 4) in Colleges and Universities. During testing, DEWitos alongside other Vault flavors went viral from a Reddit post, made headlines and had a negative backlash.

Description[]

Lemonade with Ginger was a Lemonade with Ginger flavor of Mountain Dew and had a yellow-green look. The student from the Reddit post stated that "Lemon Ginger was ok, but it just tasted like Ginger Ale."

History[]

From October to November 2014, PepsiCo launched a campaign program named: "Dew After Dark," aimed at college students in colleges and universities to taste test four Flavor Vault flavors as potential limited-time Game Fuel flavors. The flavors tested here are as follows: Lemonade with Ginger (Vault flavor 1), DEWitos (Vault flavor 2), Mango Habanero (Vault flavor 3), and Rainbow Sherbet (Vault flavor 4).

During testing, DEWitos went viral from a Reddit post alongside the other vault flavors in other headline news sources. As a response, PepsiCo confirmed that this is a real in a statement: “We are always testing out new flavors of Mountain Dew, and giving our fans a voice in helping decide on the next new product has always been important to us,” and “We opened up the DEW flavor vault and gave students a chance to try this Doritos-inspired flavor as part of a small program at colleges and universities.”

After the taste testing, Lemonade with Ginger alongside DEWitos and Rainbow Sherbet would never be released, while Mango Habanero would later have a release as a Game Fuel flavor named Mango Heat in Late 2016.
