📝Administrator's Note📝Here's a note from one of the active Admins:
To avoid confusion, all VooDEW flavor pages are renamed from the corresponding year to the number. For example: "VooDEW (2019)" to "VooDEW 1.0." Since this is a massive change, expect various other pages to have a redirect. We'll be eliminating all redirects as we can, and hopefully, it will be smooth sailing from now.
VooDEW 1.0 is a Mountain Dew flavor released for the Halloween season 2019 as the first annual release flavor of the VooDEW series in the United States. In Fall 2022, this flavor, alongside 2.0 and 3.0, returned as the Ghosts of VooDEW Past in the online DEW Store for a limited time while supplies last. In Fall 2024, VooDEW 1.0 was released in Canada for a limited time.
