Max Air was a line of Mountain Dew flavor variants found exclusively in Japan.
History
In its first release in 2007, Max Air used the standard Mountain Dew flavoring with a different formula, presumably using natural sugar similar to Throwback.
In 2008, Max Air 2 was released, this time with a much different formula that had much more carbonation and less flavoring.
2009 saw the release of Max Air 3, which used yet another revised formula, bringing back the stronger flavor from the first release and retaining the carbonation from the second.
As of now, there has been no talk of a continuation of the Max Air sodas.
Description
Mountain Dew Max Air is a citrus flavored soda, much like the original flavor. Its color, however, is much more of a lime green.
Trivia
- Mountain Dew Max Air's name could possibly be a reference to its higher amounts of carbonation.
- It is possible that the Japanese Mountain Dew team decided not to continue Max Air to pursue more options, which would explain the release of Mountain Dew Grape in 2011.
