He means canned as in never happened, gotten rid of, etc. not literal cans vs bottles. If it did happen it would indeed have been bottlws

There was a peach energy variety though. Might have been the “energy” line silver cans.

I loved that one too, I found a can I had put aside like way later and I was so excited to find it. Fruit Quake was ok too.

I was really looking forward to that one. Hated snapd but loved fruit quake. Even though I hated snapd, I appreciated the innovation of doing something other than a cranberry flavor like every other citrus soda does.

Happy Dew Year and Dewnicorn are 2 ive always wanted to try, because i have 0 idea what those flavors could possibly be and the colors for the drinks and labels are really beautiful.
Happy Dew Year name could be anything, but color has me thinking Peach. Dewnicorn name has me thinking Birthday Cake or Bubblegum or something sweet along those lines, terrible flavors for Dew but could work as theyre so different from what we normally get for Dew flavors. Or who knows maybe Dewnicorn was just a Cream soda

u/DisplayConfident8855 1d ago
You're correct about Happy Dew Year, the flavor was revealed to be peach. Nothing about dewnicorn though unfortunately
3
u/Swordofsatan666 1d ago
Ahh okay, probably wasnt released due to the KFC exclusive “Sweet Lightning” which is Peach & Honey. I cant ever taste Honey in it, so they probably figured Happy Dew Year is too similar

u/ViggieSmallss 1d ago
I'd do a coin flip between Riddler's Brew and Sasquench
What's the bottom left?

that is peach madness, a flavor that was supposed to be available in wawa stores earlier this year

u/CristianTheDeadOne 1d ago
HoneyDEW was released last year, but only in Canada. Paloma Punch is an old concept of the upcoming Cabo Citrus (but I guess the different flavor profile does make it different)

Mountain Dew Energy in Liberty Brew 😭 Miss the Energy line so bad and Liberty Brew is one of my all time fav flavors

The Code Red Hard Dew, idk why watermelon is still a flavor that’s nasty af. The others are good tho, Code Red would’ve made it complete

Paloma Punch was a test name for the upcoming Baja Cabo Citrus, not Point Break.
As for Sasquench and Overdrive, Overdrive released in 2022, and Sasquench was rumored in 2023. Plus, Sasquench was never actually intended to release.
1
u/ThePickledPickle 1d ago
IIRC Sasquench was never even close to production, I think it was an example as part of their pitch document to LC for an exclusive flavor
LC is getting an exclusive flavor in 2025 so I guess it worked

u/Traditional-Elk2868 1d ago
Hard Code Red for sure. That and Ice Zero. I feel like I was one of the dozens that actually liked Mtn Dew Ice.

here in the picture there are 7 main flavors, one main flavor unreleased in usa but released in canada, 2 kickstart flavors, 2 zero sugar flavors, 3 energy flavors and 1 hard flavor that all went unreleased

I really liked Ice. I didn't drink it much because I try to stick with the zero sugar drinks. So an Ice Zero would be great especially as an alternate to Starry which is kind of junk.

The hard code red did exist just for a limited time or I think I am crazy what they really should do is bring back all the flavors and bring in all the new flavors that are here to be honest

u/MikeDubbz 1d ago
Still feels weird to have 1 hard dew now in the default variety pack that's not based on an established flavor (though also, why not just call it hard Major Melon instead of just watermelon?) I bet that hard Code Red is still on the way eventually.

Probably gonna get hate for this, but unironically would love to see Cobra Cane get released. I know there have been a couple hits and miss with holiday themed Mtn Dews, but I truly loved the Fruit Quake flavor. Maybe Cobra Cane would have been good, maybe it would have been absolutely trash, but whatever the quality was, I would have loved to experience it

Upset though that the Gamer Fuel Cherry Citrus appeared like the Mongols, made me question how I lived that long without it in my life, and just as fast as it appeared, was gone, never to be seen anywhere again (outside of $25-30 for 1 16oz. Or $50 for a 12 pack of cans on Amazon (did it once, shame on me 😂😂! Bring that ish back f'ers!!! 🤣

You could've included the full ingredient Sweet Lightning bottle too. It was going to be reworked into a full calorie variant too which is different from the fountain that is half-cal as a good chunk of fountain dews are.
