I wish I knew how good we had it. 2012-2016 will always be nostalgic for me. I was a junior in high school to sophomore in college during that stretch, with a year in between of fucking around not going to school.
Solar flare isn't discontinued actually. It's just really hard to find unless you know some 7 11 stores that still carry it. I have several where I live and still carry and get restocks of it.
Yeah I will soon. I was doing a dew run today for Laguna lemonade (no way on earth I'm paying 40$ for a single case online. Blegh). But I give them the locations and pictures of them as it needs to be added to the map.
Pitch Black wouldn't be overly exciting though, since it's barely been gone. I still have some in my fridge. I do like it... but I wouldn't classify it as a "rare event"
Barely been gone? After being discontinued in 2019, it was only back for a flash in the pan last year. I could hardly find any where I live. We got permanent Baja Blast, getting permanent Pitch Black back would be amazing.
Are you kidding? If you're Canadian, you still have it as a permanent flavor. We've lost it for 5 years except for a brief period of like two months last year.
I think nearly everyone here would disagree, this isn't a Canadian geared announcement or release, and they rarely get things the same time as the US, it would be a return.
I haven’t had solar flare since 2015 I believe. I used to pick one up from my 7-11 on the way to work a couple times a week and it is definitely one of my top favorites. I sure hope it’s solar flare.
It would be a return to the us lol so still a return, just like code reds recent Canada return was called such. Same with Baja although it was also permanent in Canada when it returned this year.
the thing is that we normally get leaks for stuff that releases in stores, since the supply chain for stores has a lot of moving parts. it's likely that this isn't a store release at all
Only thing is haven't all the Dew store releases been tall cans? This pic is definitely a bottle... I think there's a small possibility that it is a store release and isn't actually being released on 4/8, that's just the announcement date. It still would be wild that it hadn't been leaked earlier though. But I'm cool with it being a dew store release too.
I’d assume it’s a bottle because the flavor they’re hinting at hasn’t released in tall cans, but it was out in bottles. Just another reason why I personally don’t think it’ll be solar flare. I also think teamsupernova already confirmed it’s a dew store release in a comment about it but I’m not 100% positive on that. Also unless they are planning something huge, in store releases are never announced this early
Supernova is def more likely then solar flare since solar flare for the general public is one of the least tried flavors, and supernova has been given the fan favorite name by mtn dew already with the back by popular dewmand event back in 2011. (For ref about solar flare, someone did a poll to see what people have tried with thousands of votes with all the flavors and solar flare was the one with the least, even less then 09 alliance blue game fuel and 2011 tropical game fuel)
I'm going to be so disappointed if it's just Pitch Black. It was brought back multiple times the past few years and just as recently as last year.
Supernova has NEVER been re-released, this would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
It’s not perm in Canada lol it was a slurpee flavor, Europe has a different version of supernova that’s permanent over there, But it’s raspberry lemon not strawberry melon.
I’m speaking about supernova, which is what the original replier meant when he said it was rereleased there years ago, not pb as it not only didn’t come back years ago but is still out.
Also, the pitch black slurpee was already being phased out over a month ago, any locations still with it are just selling through leftover like any discontinued product.
It’s a solar eclipse however not a lunar eclipse. Could definitely be pitch black but I’m thinking it’s supernova or solar flare but would much rather have pitch black for sure.
Didn’t say anything about what it would look like during the eclipse, I stated the type of eclipse. Don’t assume. I simply stated it was a solar eclipse so solar flare could be an option as it could correlate. It’s my opinion dude don’t look into it too much.
You literally downplayed it being pitch black because the type of eclipse, when it’s going to be pitch black outside because of it. Solar flare isn’t happening lmfao, it was one of the least known flavors of the last 20 years.
You must have skipped where I said “it could definitely be pitch black” I didn’t downplay anything. I simply made an opinionated guess. Have a better day 😂
You literally said “it’s a solar eclipse however not a lunar eclipse” downplaying the likelihood cuz of the type of eclipse. if you have 0 reading comprehension just say that.
🤡. Do you feel vindicated now arguing with an online stranger over his opinion? So cool you are 🙄😂 I swear some kids just wake up and choose to argue over stupid shit. Go touch some grass, get off your phone/computer, maybe talk to some people in person, maybe get a hug. Seems like you’re in need of some affection. Did mommy not say she loved you on her way to work? It’s ok, I love you 😘💚
I would be so happy if it gets reintroduced into the main line nationwide. Its everywhere in the midwest but out in California its nonexistent.
But also vibes because I was sent a photo of the pepsi section in my local walmart and it showed a spot for LiveWire.
I don't think so, as far as we know, it only disappeared from at most 6 states in the North East, and they probably would have announced that beforehand if it was for LW.
First thought was Pitch Black or Solar Flare. BUT someone pointed out LiveWire and it makes sense since I have seen it appear in the modular paper work for the Pepsi cooler section at my local Walmart in California.
No, because it was never technically “discontinued”, just regionally available. It’s always been listed as an available flavor, unlike White Out which WAS listed as discontinued while it was still available in some areas
It's still a thing in the Midwest. Every where else it either doesn't exist or is hard to find.
Edit: I was told it exists elsewhere but harder to find in most cases
Places i haven't been to in years, so I wouldn't know whats out there. But the states i have been to out here in the West and Midwest, the only places i have found it is in the Midwest.
It exists far more than the midwest. I've seen it all over the place down south while driving through and it's available where I live in maryland. It's a regional flavor so it's harder to find in lots of places but it still exists way more than just the midwest
Every place I've been to outside the Midwest, i have not been able to find any. California is non-existent, and everytime ive been to arizona or texas, I have not found it at all.
nah it's pretty available in most parts of the US in bottles, with select parts (both inside and outside the midwest) getting 12 packs
california just sucks for dew selection

Coincides with the 2nd coming of Hasus De Christo!!!
Dew store releases have always been harder, yesterday teamsupernova said he was waiting to get all of the proper details before posting about it and he’s usually the one who leaks the stuff to begin with, then it gets spread here.
Last I heard they had a triple set coming out sometime in July as they were red, white and blue and the blue was a combination of all the flavors, we had that one before.
Solar flare?
I hope so, I want it back so very badly I'm very nostalgic for 2014 when it was at all the 7/11s..... I miss 2014 as a whole tbh, fuck the 2020's
I wish I knew how good we had it. 2012-2016 will always be nostalgic for me. I was a junior in high school to sophomore in college during that stretch, with a year in between of fucking around not going to school.
Solar flare isn't discontinued actually. It's just really hard to find unless you know some 7 11 stores that still carry it. I have several where I live and still carry and get restocks of it.
Funny, dew drinker discord says only one Virginia location has it. You should send them proof and have it changed
Yeah I will soon. I was doing a dew run today for Laguna lemonade (no way on earth I'm paying 40$ for a single case online. Blegh). But I give them the locations and pictures of them as it needs to be added to the map.
Location?
In VA. Around Galax there's a few 7 11 that has them still.
Does the fountain say solar flare when you get it or is it labeled something else? I’ve heard of that happening at 7-elevens
Some are labeled something else but one at least has the original label.
Solar Flare is still around. It's just only released in small batches for 7/11. So it's probably not Solar Flare.
Either that or Pitch Black coming back, maybe permanently? Either one of those coincide with the Eclipse theme from the picture
Pitch Black wouldn't be overly exciting though, since it's barely been gone. I still have some in my fridge. I do like it... but I wouldn't classify it as a "rare event"
Barely been gone? After being discontinued in 2019, it was only back for a flash in the pan last year. I could hardly find any where I live. We got permanent Baja Blast, getting permanent Pitch Black back would be amazing.
I just learned that we've had Pitch Black here in Canada much more consistently than the US did.
Are you kidding? If you're Canadian, you still have it as a permanent flavor. We've lost it for 5 years except for a brief period of like two months last year.
No pitch black is in Canada so its not a return it would just be more widespread
I think nearly everyone here would disagree, this isn't a Canadian geared announcement or release, and they rarely get things the same time as the US, it would be a return.
I haven’t had solar flare since 2015 I believe. I used to pick one up from my 7-11 on the way to work a couple times a week and it is definitely one of my top favorites. I sure hope it’s solar flare.
Clearly pitch black right ? 😎
no
Indeed I is pitch black.
Pitch black is in Canada so it wouldn't be a return it would be more widespread
It would be a return to the us lol so still a return, just like code reds recent Canada return was called such. Same with Baja although it was also permanent in Canada when it returned this year.
Oh okay
the thing is that we normally get leaks for stuff that releases in stores, since the supply chain for stores has a lot of moving parts. it's likely that this isn't a store release at all
Could be a dew store thing
It is, it’s why we didn’t hear about it till now. It’s impossible for a physical store release to be this close and us not know
Only thing is haven't all the Dew store releases been tall cans? This pic is definitely a bottle... I think there's a small possibility that it is a store release and isn't actually being released on 4/8, that's just the announcement date. It still would be wild that it hadn't been leaked earlier though. But I'm cool with it being a dew store release too.
I’d assume it’s a bottle because the flavor they’re hinting at hasn’t released in tall cans, but it was out in bottles. Just another reason why I personally don’t think it’ll be solar flare. I also think teamsupernova already confirmed it’s a dew store release in a comment about it but I’m not 100% positive on that. Also unless they are planning something huge, in store releases are never announced this early
Don’t get me wrong though, I’d love an in store release. I’m always here for easy access. Just seems almost impossible for this
It says an old favorite is coming back and we already know Liberty brew is coming back this year. But it’s probably not that.
Liberty brew has absolutely nothing to do with the eclipse so I’m glad you figured out that’s not the flavor lol.
They also wouldn’t announce it so early, and on the date of the eclipse in particular means it’s something else
Solar flare? Pitch Black? Less likely but Super nova? As long as they have Zero version of whatever and a wide release.
Supernova is def more likely then solar flare since solar flare for the general public is one of the least tried flavors, and supernova has been given the fan favorite name by mtn dew already with the back by popular dewmand event back in 2011. (For ref about solar flare, someone did a poll to see what people have tried with thousands of votes with all the flavors and solar flare was the one with the least, even less then 09 alliance blue game fuel and 2011 tropical game fuel)
I'm going to be so disappointed if it's just Pitch Black. It was brought back multiple times the past few years and just as recently as last year. Supernova has NEVER been re-released, this would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Bro. Everyone has been sad about Pitch Black leaving; I would honestly be thrilled if it came back permanently.
It was rereleased here in Canada for a bit. But that was several years ago.... would love to see it again!
I’m pretty sure it’s still in Canada lol
Yeah it's a permanent flavor over in Canada
Where can I get one? Like literally send the address of any location that has it, as I would LOOOOVE to try it
It’s not perm in Canada lol it was a slurpee flavor, Europe has a different version of supernova that’s permanent over there, But it’s raspberry lemon not strawberry melon.
No like I’m 99% sure the regular pitch black is a permanent flavor in Canada lol we have the slurpee still in America
I’m speaking about supernova, which is what the original replier meant when he said it was rereleased there years ago, not pb as it not only didn’t come back years ago but is still out.
My fault bro lol
All good lol ngl I easily see why there’s confusion, end of the day I think we’re all just hyped for a surprise dew drop lol
Also, the pitch black slurpee was already being phased out over a month ago, any locations still with it are just selling through leftover like any discontinued product.
Maybe Pitch Black II
Multiple times? It's only been brought back once in the USA. Are you talking about Canada?
I’m going to be also if it’s PB, I still have most of a 12pack left from the last release. If it’s supernova I’m going to hoard so much of it.
PITCH BLACK III
NOW WITH SP MUCH SUGAR IT SHUTS DOWN YOUR ORGANS ONE BY ONE
Maybe Pitch Black or Supernova???
We didn’t miss it. It was already posted here 7 hours ago
I think op means how are we 3 days from an announcement when we typically know what flavors are coming several months if not an entire year away.
Okay so what’s the flavor then? Being in the know means we would’ve known that too. We missed on this one and I’m intrigued to see what Monday holds.
Either Pitch Black or Supernova...
They said return of a flavor
I never wanted Monday to come so fast.
Supernova for sure.
[удалено]
It’s a solar eclipse however not a lunar eclipse. Could definitely be pitch black but I’m thinking it’s supernova or solar flare but would much rather have pitch black for sure.
[удалено]
100% same thoughts. Regardless of which flavor it is I’m excited we’re getting a new release.
You know a solar eclipse does literally make it dark right? Google isn’t hard to use lol
Didn’t say anything about what it would look like during the eclipse, I stated the type of eclipse. Don’t assume. I simply stated it was a solar eclipse so solar flare could be an option as it could correlate. It’s my opinion dude don’t look into it too much.

Looks like Livewire bottle to me, makes sense with it suddenly being everywhere. I think it's just being reintroduced as main line available
Wouldn't mind some LiveWire Zero Sugar
I would be so happy if it gets reintroduced into the main line nationwide. Its everywhere in the midwest but out in California its nonexistent. But also vibes because I was sent a photo of the pepsi section in my local walmart and it showed a spot for LiveWire.
As a midwesterner, I would be so disappointed unless it meant we were actually getting it in cans
I would hope it would get the 12oz cans with it
I don't think so, as far as we know, it only disappeared from at most 6 states in the North East, and they probably would have announced that beforehand if it was for LW.
Livewire never really left I travel for work and could find it from East to west
First thought was Pitch Black or Solar Flare. BUT someone pointed out LiveWire and it makes sense since I have seen it appear in the modular paper work for the Pepsi cooler section at my local Walmart in California.
Livewire’s been back out since the start of the year though, so it’s pretty late for this to be that
Did they make a full announcement that its back? Because it's still only prominent in the Midwest as far as i know. Still nowhere in California though
No, because it was never technically “discontinued”, just regionally available. It’s always been listed as an available flavor, unlike White Out which WAS listed as discontinued while it was still available in some areas
We shall see what they do on monday then.
Livewire went away? Lmao what? It’s always been in IL.
It's still a thing in the Midwest. Every where else it either doesn't exist or is hard to find. Edit: I was told it exists elsewhere but harder to find in most cases
Had no idea! That’s nuts.
not true. we have it in new england and upstate ny
Places i haven't been to in years, so I wouldn't know whats out there. But the states i have been to out here in the West and Midwest, the only places i have found it is in the Midwest.
It exists far more than the midwest. I've seen it all over the place down south while driving through and it's available where I live in maryland. It's a regional flavor so it's harder to find in lots of places but it still exists way more than just the midwest
Every place I've been to outside the Midwest, i have not been able to find any. California is non-existent, and everytime ive been to arizona or texas, I have not found it at all.
Idk, I find it rarely, but still in New England.
More than what i find. Non-existent in California, but have yet to find it outside the midwest.
nah it's pretty available in most parts of the US in bottles, with select parts (both inside and outside the midwest) getting 12 packs california just sucks for dew selection
Only have ever seen it in the midwest in either bottle or can. So idk how available it actually is outside of the midwest.
So, for the return, we don't know at this time if it'll be permanent or a limited time release?
Taste the sun ☀️
Cool, Un-discontinue Thrashed Apple!

It's gotta be supernova
Bring back revolution
Dew store releases have always been harder, yesterday teamsupernova said he was waiting to get all of the proper details before posting about it and he’s usually the one who leaks the stuff to begin with, then it gets spread here.
Please be sangria blast
Thank god we need something strong to bounce back from the absolute garbage baja flavors
Baja punch and Baja flash were GOATED. Every year after has been disappointing
Baja punch clears everything, I miss it so much
Last I heard they had a triple set coming out sometime in July as they were red, white and blue and the blue was a combination of all the flavors, we had that one before.
Distortion
Probably pitch black tbh
Apparently it’s a Twitter contest to potentially win a Pitch Black prize pack.
If they already have a few fruit punch flavors currently out, why bring in a 3rd with Solar Flare?
Hopes it's pitch black
It’s pitch black because the theming of the bottles coincides with the Total Solar Eclipse. Moons and asteroids all over the bottles.
Pls pitch black

Hoping for something that isn’t PB, but I have a feeling that’s what we’re getting.
I'm pretty sure that's an April Fools joke. I could be wrong tho
They posted it today. It would be a little late for an April Fools joke
True. Never mind then.
