Top 5 Things You Need to Know About Mountain Dew White Out

  • The Comeback of a Legend: After being discontinued in 2019, Mountain Dew White Out returned to shelves in 2023 as a limited-time release—and fans lost their minds. It’s the only Dew flavor to ever win Dewmocracy (a fan-voted contest), defeating Supernova and Voltage.
  • What It Tastes Like: White Out is a citrus-forward, creamy lemon-lime soda with a smooth, almost milky finish—hence the name. It’s less sharp than Code Red, less heavy than Baja Blast, and the perfect daytime sipper.
  • The Caffeine Content: With 54 milligrams per 12-ounce can, it lands squarely in the middle of Mountain Dew’s caffeine lineup (regular Dew has 46mg, Baja Blast has 48mg). You get a solid buzz, but you won’t be bouncing off walls.
  • The DEWcision Drama: When White Out was first discontinued, fans started a #BringBackWhiteOut campaign that racked up thousands of signatures and viral tweets. PepsiCo relented, but only for a limited run—so if you see it on shelves now, stock up or risk another three-year wait.
  • The Collectors’ Item Effect: Because of its scarcity, unopened cans from the original run now sell for $20–$50 on eBay. The new release isn’t expected to become that rare, but savvy fans are already hoarding cases, betting the flavor will vanish again soon.
