![]() Like I said earlier it’s up there with Code Red in my opinion and I used to be a fiend for Code Red. I’m finding myself really enjoying Pitch Black and wish that I’d been on this train when my love of Mountain Dew was at its peak. Why did I go off on that mini-tangent? Must be time for my old people pills. Ah well, if I “don’t get” Mountain Dew’s marketing I’m probably over thinking it. Maybe…maybe I’m old now and just “don’t get it” anymore. I realize that Mountain Dew tries to cater to an extreme/gamer/youthful audience but their flavors don’t bring that out in me. Instead, Mountain Dew Pitch Black raises its hand, gets called upon, and casually states that “Yes I’m a Mountain Dew with grape flavoring”. It doesn’t show in an extreme way like your uncle (it’s always a creepy uncle isn’t it?) at the last family gathering though. After the bubbles lay down their arms the grape, apparently black grape, flavor shows itself. Upon the first sip your tongue is immediately met with the knives of a thousand citrus flavored carbonation bubbles. I’m not sure what would come first but this and Code Red are now neck and neck. Instantly I can rank this as a Top 2 Dew for me. This isn’t nearly as EXTREME as I thought it would be but I find that’s working out for the experience thus far. What we’re here for is transporting me back to 2004 so that I may experience the apparent amazement that is Mountain Dew Pitch Black… and so we shall. I’m kind of curious what Pitch Black would taste like without its blast of black grape but we’re not here for that today. I figured this was Mountain Dew with a blast of black grape but what do I know. Based on scent alone this is Mountain Dew with grape flavoring, oddly enough the label clearly states that this is Pitch Black with a BLAST of BLACK GRAPE. The scent I was greeted with was that of citrus and grape… heavy on the grape fortunately. ![]() Ok… so that’s not quite what I was expecting. I really wish I had a black light to see if this bottle could truly be fantastical. The label is a very extreme purple matching the color of the beverage itself. ![]() Well looky here! Thanks to Mountain Dew… or should I say Mtn Dew (I will never say “Mtn Dew” again in this review because it’s asinine) I can now experience what I originally missed all without the help of a Delorian… which of course is points against. If only I had some sort of way I could travel back to 2004 and give the original a try. Pitch Black 2 was alright but nothing cult worthy to me so I figured that the original must have been heads and tails above its sequel. I feigned all of the excitement one might have seen since I never got the chance to try the original. Back in 2005 I tried to jump on the pseudo-bandwagon when Pitch Black 2 came out. As I understand this beverage has quite the following and it seems that it’s high time that I jump on the bandwagon. So apparently being a soda reviewer I’m supposed to review this limited edition Mountain Dew Pitch Black.
