      The fact that people still drink that crap after learning what's in it is what's wrong with the world (mainly America).

    Don't know if anyone else has mentioned. In Australia, Mountain Dew was released as "Mountain Dew" but had no caffeine in it. Later on "Mountain Dew Energise" was released which was essentially normal US Mountain Dew, caffeine included. They then phased out the originaly released "Mountain Dew" so now all that's available is "Mountain Dew Energise" which is... standard caffeinated Mountain Dew

    If I recall, there was a flavor of Mountain Dew in the states called Pitch Black *I think it was some kind of grape flavored soda* But it had been discontinued in stores. However, depending on what state you live in, mainly in the southeast, it can be found as a fountain drink at select gas stations, such as Speedway. I have no idea if it’s still around, but I had seen it in Speedway gas stations several years ago.

    I remember in the 90s when Mountain Dew got banned in the UK because it had too much caffine too. It came back in around the late 2000s marketed as Mountain Dew Energy. I remember still having to go to Chinatown to buy the "ïllegal" imported version around 2007 and then seeing it back in the supermarkets as an energy drink year or two later. They must've reformulated it in the mid-late 2010s (guessing this because I've never seen the new formula name "Citrus Blast" and I left the UK in 2013).

    Up in the northern states there was a time when you could get "Mtn Dew Throwback."
    Throwback tossed out the high fructose corn syrup and replaced it with pure cane sugar.
    While both options are still high in sugar and bad if consumed too much in their own right, the taste of pure cane sugar Dew was so much better than regular Mtn Dew.
    After a quick search its been rebranded to Mtn Dew Real Sugar but it's hard to come by if found at all in the more southern states in the US.

      it’s not that’s it’s one of the most popular in the US per se, as we regularly joke about how it can dissolve rats and will kill your testosterone in large quantities etc lol, and is only offered at specific restaurants etc, it’s more just historically very famous as it’s tied to moon shining culture in the USA. It’s where it gets the name “mountain dew” it was originally made as a mixer for moon shine but eventually they started selling it on its own as a soda. A lot of famous American things have their basis in moonshining culture, like Nascar for example. That and whenever call of duty would come out Activision would give out bonuses like XP buffs etc in mountain dew caps and in doritos, both of which are owned by pepsico somewhere in the line if i’m not mistaken. So it has a cultural place here but it seldom someone’s like main go to soda as even for soda it’s quite bad for you and just isn’t sold at most fast food places. Like if i’m not mistaken only Taco Bell here has mtn dew. But that also all depends a lot on where in the USA you live etc

Also, certain mountain dew flavors are definitely worse for you than other sodas, especially code red. Code red has quite a bit of red40 in it, which is a petroleum product and is incredibly carcinogenic lol.

    similar to what was said about america and “sandwich shop” prices, it’s common in the uk too. for example, i can buy a 500ml bottle of coca cola for like £1.55, whereas i can buy a 1.75l bottle for £2.15. so for an extra 60p i can get 1.25l more. or, to buy 1.75l in 500ml bottles, it would cost £5.43. hence why i buy big bottles and just refill smaller ones

    Waiting to see if they were going to mention why certain mountain dew products were banned in the EU(and possibly due to timing therefore in the UK as well). The reason among other things mentioned in the video, but strangely skipped (possibly due to comparing original mountain dew's ingredients and not the varieties): the use of bromine. Which is why you don't get any varieties over here anymore (code red, whiteout and voltage were introduced and thereafter banned, of which if any only code red has made a comeback).
