Those who know me well know that my favorite beverage is Diet Mountain Dew. In fact, I distinctly remember the first time I was asked to provide a “rider” for a creative job I was doing back in 2006, and they said it was the simplest thing they’d ever seen. I asked for a flight, a hotel room, and a case of Diet Mountain Dew. While it’s Diet that I prefer, I also make a point of trying every new flavor and variety that Dew rolls out, and this week comes news that Mountain Dew is introducing MTN DEW ICE, what they’re calling “a crisp, clear, carbonated soft drink made with a splash of real juice that will keep Dew Nation charged and refreshed.”
“We’re thrilled to introduce a new product to the Mountain Dew portfolio and give Dew Nation a clear, refreshing, lemon-lime DEW. We know we can deliver an incredible beverage that hits on the crisp and refreshing cues people want,” said Roberto Rios, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Carbonated Soft Drinks – PepsiCo North America Beverages. “True to our brand, MTN DEW ICE represents the bold lifestyle of Dew Nation, and we’ll be there to help them refresh, recharge and fuel their pursuits.”
To launch MTN DEW ICE in a bold way, Mountain Dew will host a one-of-a-kind event in Brooklyn on Jan. 18. The immersive activation will feature an interactive ice installation with a bucket-list worthy payoff: a surprise iHeartRadio performance by one of the biggest names in hip-hop. Dew Nation can score tickets to the performance via the iHeartRadio website or participate in the action by tuning into the livestream at www.iHeart.com.
MTN DEW ICE drops in retail stores nationwide on Monday, Jan. 15 in 20 oz. bottles, 2 liter bottles, 12-packs of 12 oz. cans and a variety of other single and multipack sizes, with 100 calories per 12 ounces. MTN DEW ICE charges your senses as a lemon-lime flavored carbonated soda with caffeine.
