Mountain Dew has introduced a new limited edition flavor that's stirring excitement among its fans.
The flavor, Purple Thunder Zero, offers a zero-sugar version of the soda, eagerly anticipated by consumers. Food blogger Markie Devo previewed it on Instagram on April 21, commenting, "Oh boy, do we love store exclusives.????".
Devo described the flavor as "classic Dew with a blast of Berry Plum." He added, "I had it in the past and enjoyed it. I’d put it on my top 10 favorite flavors. I wonder how the zero is." The post noted that the soda would be available for a limited time in both regular and zero sugar versions at Circle K and Kroger/owned stores.
Fans quickly showed their enthusiasm in the comments section. They were thrilled about the release, especially those watching their sugar intake.
One fan wrote, "Let’s go! Finally some more love for those of us who respect our blood sugar levels!" Another expressed disappointment about the limited availability: "Limited time only!? ???????? pooey!"
Another commenter confirmed the product's popularity, stating, "They were selling like hot cakes at the Krogers I live near."
Earlier in the month, Mountain Dew announced the return of another fan favorite. This time it was in celebration of the 2024 solar eclipse.
The company brought back the Pitch Black flavor, delighting many fans but also causing a stir among those who find its availability too brief.
Baja Blast, originally a Taco Bell exclusive, has made its way to store shelves, sparking excitement among its fans.
This unique Mountain Dew flavor, known for its tropical lime taste, was once only available at Taco Bell locations. Its exclusivity made it a coveted item among soda enthusiasts. Recently, however, the company decided to broaden its availability.
Fans can now find Baja Blast in retail stores nationwide, both in bottled and canned forms. This expansion has been met with enthusiasm from consumers who previously had to visit Taco Bell to enjoy their favorite beverage.
Social media users have been vocal about their delight. Many expressed their joy at being able to stock up on the drink from local supermarkets instead of limiting it to restaurant visits.
One happy fan tweeted, "No more Taco Bell runs just for a Baja Blast fix!" Another shared, "It’s about time they released it in stores. Best news ever!"
The wider availability has certainly pleased the Baja Blast community, making it easier for fans to enjoy the beloved flavor any time they wish.
