FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ANCHOR: This is a breaking story in the world of consumer beverages.

LOCATION: [GLOBAL] — February 3, 2025

WHO: PepsiCo, the parent company of Mountain Dew, has officially announced a return.

WHAT: The company is relaunching “Mountain Dew White Out,” a lemon-lime flavored variant that was originally discontinued in 2019. The product, known for its smooth, creamy citrus taste, is being reintroduced as a limited-time offering.

WHEN: The reintroduction is scheduled to commence on March 1, 2025, and will remain available on shelves for a period of approximately eight weeks, or while supplies last.

WHERE: The beverage will be exclusively sold at major retail chains across the United States, including Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven, before a potential broader rollout.

WHY: According to officials, the decision follows a sustained, high-volume campaign on social media platforms by a dedicated consumer base. Over 150,000 petition signatures and a 40% increase in online mentions of “White Out” over the past year prompted the company to re-evaluate its product discontinuation strategy.

EXCLUSIVE DETAIL: Sources confirm that the formula has been standardized for modern production, but no changes have been made to the signature “white haze” appearance or the original taste profile. Market analysts predict this launch could generate an estimated $50 million in revenue within its initial sales window.
