History[]
On June 22nd, 2022, PepsiCo ran an advertisement that featured a poll aimed at the r/MountainDew subreddit to see which popular flavor the community would like to see to have an Energy version created. The flavors featured on the poll were Spark, Typhoon, Major Melon, VooDEW, Code Red, Voltage, and Pitch Black.
After voting, the final results were 1st: Pitch Black, 2nd: Voltage, 3rd: Code Red, 4th: VooDEW, 5th: Major Melon, 6th: Typhoon, and 7th: Spark.
On September 10th, 2022, on the Dew Drinker Discord, an anonymous source was sent low-quality pictures of the drink and was not permitted to share any further information. As previously known, Pitch Black Energy was to release alongside the 2023 re-release of Pitch Black with its Zero Sugar variant.
As previously mentioned, Pitch Black was the most popular vote out of the flavors, and since then, it was released alongside the regular Pitch Black and a Zero Sugar variant.
