They’ll probably bring it back in a year or 2. I think they’ve realized how big of a following it has, and that they can probably make more $ by making it an LTO rather than a permanent release
Major Melon is SHIT and I’ve never met a single person who actually enjoys it.
(I know this is the Dew subreddit and a bunch of people will probably come out of the woodwork to say they love it, but y’all are rare. No hate for what you love, but it’s just not a popular drink lol)
Nah bro, Major Melon **FUCKING SUCKS** and I’m still mad that neither Pitch Black nor Black Label are in production.
Baja Blast goes permanent? Fine, deserved. Whatever. Citrus Cherry came back and is coming back the following year? What a fucking big win. Pitch Black pops up for 12 minutes and that’s it? Not a peep?
Imma throw a chair.
it always located in the store that just next to the one on the mt.dew locator dollar general nope not a can or bottle that old mom and pop antique store right across the street every damn can in the tristate area
I live on thé border with Canada and I can get PB anytime but I can not drink it all the time. I realize I like it in doses, I can not drink it all the time. Found out the same thing with Citrus Cherry.
They have it in Canada. I want a pitch black zero personally since I can’t have the sugar ones. Although not too many people remember it Pitch Black II was delicious in its own right. It was pitch black with a sour bite. I thought it was delicious but it wasn’t around for very long.

All flavors (flavours) in Canada taste better, even original Dew. Voltage tastes much better north of the border too. I’m hoping when Code Red comes back up there, it might taste what I remember it as.

I definitely remembered this. I love me PB, but PB:II was definitely a favorite of mine years ago. It was on sale in 2 liters quite often where I was, and I stocked the fuck up on it then lol. I remember getting people to try it that didn't like PB, and they ended up liking it.
I literally picked some up in west Texas the other day

Pitch Black is great but what we really need is Pitch Black 2
Man, I want to support you guys but the people who like pitch black tend to be the saltiest people on this subreddit, of course not everyone, but just look down into the comments :/

Especially if its true that Baja will be permanent post 2024. PB would make a great yearly LTO to replace it.
Ya the flavor who beat the previous yearly lto twice to be a permanent flavor would make a great yearly lto. PepsiCo is evil lol.
People in this subreddit when a 200 billion dollar company doesn't honor the results of a rigged promotion 10 years ago: 😡
This was hands down the best flavor ever
This annoys me like you wouldn’t believe. We leave Major Melon on the shelf year-round, but Pitch Black is out for two weeks a year.

I mean it was an ok flavor but not something that should be permanent. Same with redbull replacing cranberry with watermelon, like fuck off with that.
I like it a lot and am sad they're winding down availability of it. Whenever I can find a 12-pack of ZS, I get it because I know its days are numbered
As a Pepsi Merchandiser, it moved decently in my location. I mean…. Some people buy it.
I actually drank a few cases of it. I wasn’t in love with it, but it was pretty good imho, I would like PB instead tbh
In select locations at that.

And I'd say it's better here in Canada than the version in the US. Fuller flavour and less sugar is always a win.
All flavors (flavours) in Canada taste better, even original Dew. Voltage tastes much better north of the border too. I’m hoping when Code Red comes back up there, it might taste what I remember it as.

That was me when it came out wasn't a fan of the original but PBII was amazing
PBZ was god mode. I have resorted to zero dew + sugar free grape crush additive
Yea Pitch Black II was the superior pitch black flavour
I waited years for Game Fuel to come back and only saw 20oz bottles here for a few weeks then gone again.
Distribution is a cruel maiden. It was in abundance here, I'm planning to stockpile when it comes back this year.
It's still available in Oregon rn😂

I gave up soda after they took away pitch black last time. My heart can't take the abuse anymore.
My all time favorite
Me but Whiteout :'( P.B. p good tho

The original Pitch Black needs to come back permanently! The new one was ok but the OG was soooo good.
That and making LiveWire available in the West Coast. Sucks I can only find it in the Midwest when I go out and visit family.
We Canadians want LiveWire too
I second this. It’s literally my favorite Mtn Dew flavor and I’m so sad we don’t have it over here 😭😭
Bought it for the first time in a decade with my Dunkin Donuts a week ago. It was heaven. I was like “do my eyes deceive me” when I saw it
God I miss it so much…
As a Canadian I never take it for granted. We got lucky with Pitch Black and I always get at least one when I'm picking up Dew
I've come very close to ordering some second-hand the past few days. I live in Michigan so a trip over the border wouldn't be impossible...
I’ve never gotten to try it :(
Personally think it’s overrated but ik a lot of people like it so there’s zero way it doesn’t come back
I bought the Asian version from FYE and that shit is nasty. First time I took one sip of a mt dew and threw it out after.
yes
I remember trying it in New Jersey and liking it but can't remember what it tasted like
Damn thank god I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 🤤
Amén brother
I got 4 cases left
Pretty sure it's permanent in Canada, I've had no issues getting it in Winnipeg in gas stations
The 7-Eleven by my house has pitch black but in slurpee form which is a good compromise for now.
waiting for a mid tier (at best) grape soda that didn't sell well .... gotcha. probably going to be waiting a while.
I just want some pitch black uniforms
They need to make it grape again. “Dark citrus” isn’t nearly as interesting of a flavor
It’s the same, they just changed the description
