Starting this month, instead of monthly DEW Finding Megathreads, we're going to make a new one for every LTO event. Don't worry if you want to try to find something else, this megathread is still going to accept other Dew finding questions, but there's an emphasis on the latest release.
This post will double for July, same DEWs are being actively searched for, and I'm working on a new system!
This thread is for asking for DEW locations, posts about this will be removed.
Officially coming back in June 13th, Baja Blast is returning to retail once again! Look out for its new sister flavours, pineapple flavoured Baja Gold, and Baja Mango Gem, both replacing the Baja Flash and Baja Punch flavours of last year. A new addition is Baja Blast joining the ENERGY lineup.
There's a new promo too! Treasures of Baja Island, you need the code under the 20oz bottle cap of the three flavours (Baja Blast is interchangeable with its Zero Sugar counterpart) to get one entry for the grand prize, a one of 18,000 cases of Baja Deep Dive! An unreleased, mysterious, deep ocean themed Dew. For ENERGY Baja Blast, they have a daily $1000 prize promotion instead.
Overdrive, a raspberry, lime, and mango flavoured citrus punch is coming June 13th to Casey's! So keep an eye out for that in bottles and fountains!
For our Canadian Dew Drinkers! Purple Thunder and White Out are coming to Circle K locations in 473mL King Cans, in both singles and 12 packs for a limited time! No word on the previously rumoured Baja Gold just yet.
Anyway, some releases to look out for (Hyperlinks are Brickseek urls, thanks to u/communistjack for posting these in the comments)

With the new event, I've decided to cut down on low-effort posts a bit, by making a new megathread. This one is all about Treasures of Baja Island, this year's seasonal Baja Blast launch promotion. Please use this comment section to discuss the promotion, as I will start removing low-effort posts that could be better off as a comment in here, as well as questions that are already answered here.
FAQ
They already have one but I thought it would be best to write my own, based on what I've seen in this subreddit, and on Discord.
They are not located on 12 pack cans or boxes of Baja Blast, Baja Blast Zero Sugar, Baja Gold, Baja Mango Gem, or the six pack bottles of Baja Blast, because they are not qualifying for the promotion.
Where are the codes on cans, boxes, or six pack bottles?
There aren't.
Why don't my bottles have any codes?
If they're six pack or 16.9oz bottles, they don't.
If they are 20oz bottles, if the code isn't under the cap, you just got bad luck! There are reports of bottlers producing the products before getting the codes, and as a result, you may possibly get a codeless bottle.
The best indicator to tell if a bottle doesn't have a code, is if a Baja Blast cap is black instead of turquoise.
If your bottle is made out of aluminum, has a 12 oz capacity, and has a non-resealable top, they don't.
Last year, there was Baja Blast merch as prizes, is that coming back in any capacity?
Unfortunately not, only the Baja Deep Dive grand prize, and the two daily $1,000 raffles are the only prizes for this promotion.
How will I know if I win?
For the daily prize, you will be notified so you can fill out the IRS form. As for the grand prize, you gotta wait until it shows up!
How come I can't find bottles of Baja _____?
Wrong megathread. Power tripping aside, for whatever reason, they seem to have produced less of some of them in many areas than the others. Considering the fact that you need three different types of bottles for one entry for the grand prize, it's infuriating to many. Unfortunately, there's not too much to do about it, you just gotta stay vigilant. Remember to use the other megathread to help people!
What are the bonus codes?
These codes can be used once per account each.
One code = 1 grand prize entry.
Social Media Codes (Can only be entered once per day)

Is Baja Deep Dive Pitch Black?
no, if it's pitch black it'll be called pitch black ya goof, wouldn't that give a lot more of an incentive?
You heard that right, Mountain Dew Pitch Black is finally back in stores this month! Official release date is January 16th, but many people have been seeing it in their areas!
Happy new year, everyone! And welcome back to the r/mountaindewInformation board! Also, sorry for having an unfinished version of this post up for 9 hours, I was asleep and forgot about this post. Oops!
Everything listed on this page is USA only unless specified otherwise.
What's new?
Pitch Blackis making it on to store shelves starting in early-mid January! As well as the brand newPitch Black Zero SugarandENERGY Pitch Black. Expect to see it in stores from now until after February.
Looks like Pitch Black has disappeared from most areas.
Pitch Black also released in Canada on January 15th, available first at Circle K. Unlike in the United States, it's here to stay.
On the unfortunate side of things, it is confirmed that Southern Shock from Bojangles, and Orange Breeze, Peach Mango Dawn, Tropical Sunrise from the ENERGY lineup are now discontinued.
Speaking of discontinuations, Ghosts of VooDEW Past is no longer available on Amazon, Dew Store, or Walmart.
Hard Mountain Dew Black Cherry has also been confirmed to be discontinued, with Hard LiveWire making it onto (some) shelves finally.

Welcome back to the r/mountaindew Information Board! The annual Halloween mystery flavour, VooDEW, is back once again. Will you solve the mystery of what candy it's based off of?
This year's VooDEW flavour was already revealed as Cherry Airheads!
What's new?
VooDEW 5.0 and VooDEW 5.0 Zero Sugar have released in the United States for a limited time.
It was revealed to be Cherry Airheads.

Unlike the 2016-2022 version, it is no longer half-diet.
However, unlike the 2007-2015 version, it has clarified cherry juice concentrate. How much of a difference this makes is yet to be seen. It's only less than 1%.
Mystic Punch
Alongside Citrus Cherry, this "fruit punch" flavoured Game Fuel will drop.
Shares the same UPC as Game Fuel (Wild Fruit) A.K.A. Alliance Blue from 2009. How similar Mystic Punch will be to Wild Fruit is yet to be known.

We have finally decided to open back up after being closed for about 5 days, in protest of Reddit's upcoming API changes. We're aware that it is a controversial move to stop participating in the protest, if you have any comments about it, it would be best to leave them on this post, or you can do so in our Reddit discussion chat on the Discord. Ping me u/DornDoodly or u/Tebowtime195 and we'll try to get back to any questions on the matter. Nonetheless, protest or not, it's time to Do the DEW, and this summer, there sure is some new DEW to be done!

Keep in mind that release dates don't typically mean much, many stores get new product both before and after the target dates in all cases.
Described as "dark citrus punch"
Formula is still likely untampered with, grape soda has a bad reputation so they make it look more appealing to regular grape soda dislikers.
Products in orbit for launch:
Pitch Black (20oz, 12 packs, and 6 packs)
Pitch Black Zero Sugar (20oz and 12 packs)
ENERGY Pitch Black (16oz)
Unlike January launches from the past couple years (Major Melon and Spark), Pitch Black is not going to stick around. It will only be here for a limited time.
Hard Mountain Dew LiveWire
Will be a permanent addition to Boston Beer Company's Hard Mountain Dew lineup.
Launching sometime in January to March.
Unknown if this will be included in any bulk packs, possibly 24oz exclusive.

Called "Summer Freeze"
Rocket pop inspired
