This is about the flavors... diet or caffeine free or otherwise is irrelevant in this poll.

Caffeine is irrelevant? Irrelevant? My friend, that's the ONLY reason I've ever found for drinking Mountain Dew. And in MY DAY, before all these "energy" drinks came out, we only had it in its original flavor, and we were damn glad to have it. No one drank it for taste. It was consumed in large quantities for effect during finals week or to stay awake for writing term papers (on typewriters!), or for long car trips.

Although I will admit that anecdotally, I've noticed the Dew seems quite popular in the southern U.S.
Maybe I'm strange, but caffeine has no effect on me at all. I drink Mountain Dew for the taste.
 
^^ I hear the older you get, the more effect it has on you

Interestingly, caffeine is not something you can build up a tolerance for, so the effect on an individual should remain relatively constant

I've noticed that it has started to affect me now that I'm in my 20s way more than it did when I was a teenager.

I still like the pitch black they had out for halloween a few years back..

What did that taste like? I never drank it.
 
I voted Live Wire just because it didn't have any votes at the time but I like the original, Code Red and Live Wire the best. The baja Blast from taco Bell is ok, but on the bland side. Voltage, revolution and Super Nova are ok but average. The Game Fuel with the cherry-citrus blend was not one of my favorites as it tasted like putting a cherry and a orange LifeSaver in your mouth at the same time. The first Pitch Black with the grape flavor was ok. But the Pitch Black II the following year with the sour grape twist on the flavor was my least favorite because I'm not into sour things at all.
 
I had to vote original because Diet Dew wasn't listed. I only drink diet drinks now, can't stand the overload of sugar in the regular drinks.
 
I feel like the original Pitch Black was the least marketed and had the most limited release. That thing was in and gone before i could bat an eyelash
 
Original, Code Red and Live Wire for me. Not a fan of the other variations at all, especially Baja which tastes like a watered-down imitation of the original.
 
Live Wire is especially tricky to find in cans, imo.

I think Baja Blast is watered down due to it only being available in Taco Bell fountain machines. I've always thought the syrup/water ratio was off on that one. I'd like to taste it in can/bottle form

In Canada, it doesn't have caffeine.
There's an "energy version" of Dew now that does though....
In my day, we drank tons of Jolt Cola for that. Of course, that too was in the States, I have no idea what we drank to stay awake in Canada since I never had that problem.....
I'm looking forward to the real original, Mountain Dew Throwback. The Pepsi version, too.
* waits on pins and needles.
If they marketed it in glass bottles, those shelves'd never be stocked enough.
