📝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 4.0 was a Mountain Dew flavor released for the Halloween season 2022 as the fourth annual release flavor of the VooDEW series in the United States.
Description[]
VooDEW 4.0 was a Mystery Flavor of Mountain Dew and had a white look with a similar theme to Mountain Dew's other Halloween flavors.
Speculation[]
Since this VooDEW flavor was a Mystery Flavor, many people who have tried it have drawn comparisons to some slightly sour candy or other various types of candy.
Clues[]
When it was first released, some fans discovered that when you zoom into a pumpkin in the cemetery, a Sour Patch Kid can be seen burning as the "candle of the pumpkin."[1]
One clue is from the VooDewGrim Twitter account posted a photograph of themself on a table holding a sign, signifying they are a big fan of "Fran Casy Dolvuro". Once you unscramble the text, it is revealed to be "Sour Candy Flavor."[2]
Answer[]
On October 31st, 2022, VooDewGrim[3], endorsed by the official Mountain Dew[4] Twitter account, unveiled[5] VooDEW's 4.0 Mystery Flavor to be Sour Candy Flavor.
History[]
On November 2nd, 2021, in a deleted r/MountainDew Reddit post[6], a user posted images of two Dew flavors featuring VooDEW 4.0 alongside its Zero Sugar variant with a canceled Mountain Dew Energy (Dragonfruit Charge), the latter at the time known as "Rise Energy (Dragonfruit Lime)."
In Early-to-Mid 2022, some test bottles were seen on some websites. These bottles had a more orange design compared to the previous pink design. In addition, VooDEW 4.0's can design was recently leaked on the Dew Drinker Discord, then later on a r/MountainDew Reddit post.[7]
It was officially released in stores on September 5th, 2022[8] throughout the United States for a limited time in 12-packs, 7.5-ounce mini cans 8-packs (Amazon exclusive), and 20-ounce bottles until October 31st (Halloween) 2022, where after that, VooDEW 6.0 would be succeeding it in 2023.
