Description
Mountain Dew Zero Sugar is a modified version of the original formula, containing no sugar, but retaining the same citrus taste and yellow-green color as the original Mountain Dew drink, similar to, but a separate drink from, Diet Mountain Dew.
History
Mountain Dew Zero Sugar was first leaked on the DDD Discord server from a Pepsi employee sometime in July 2019.
Starting in January 2020, Mountain Dew Zero Sugar will hit the shelves in the United States. A PepsiCo employee stated the Diet Mountain Dew variant will not be replaced. Instead, it will coexist with Zero Sugar.
On November 19th, 2019, YouTube channel myCountyMarket posted a soda review about the flavor on their video on YouTube. The channel's video revealed that it would be released around sometime in early 2020. The channel's video also revealed that Mountain Dew Zero Sugar is planned to be promoted during Super Bowl LIV.
Officially, it was released in stores on January 13th, 2020 throughout stores nationwide in the United States as a permanent flavor in various sizes. A few weeks later, it was promoted in a commercial during Super Bowl LIV that had a shade on a scene from the classic Warner Bros. Pictures horror film, The Shining. This led to a major boost in the popularity of Mountain Dew Zero Sugar.
