📱 FACT CHECK: Did Mountain Dew Just Release a ‘White Out’ Flavor for Only 24 Hours?

The Claim: A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) claims that Mountain Dew is reintroducing its cult-favorite White Out flavor for a “final, one-day-only run” on October 15th—available exclusively to the first 5,000 people who DM the official Mountain Dew account.

The Reality: 🚨 FALSE. Mountain Dew’s official communications team has confirmed this is a hoax. While White Out (a grapefruit-citrus flavor) was discontinued in 2021, the brand has no plans for an “instant sell-out” digital drop. The account that started the rumor is a known parody account, @FakeDewNews. Do not send personal info or payment to any account claiming to sell “rare code drops.”

Verdict: 100% Fake. Don’t fall for the FOMO trap.
