Mountain Dew Pitch Black was introduced as a limited edition flavor during the 2004 Halloween season. A sequel with a sour bite came out the following year. Out of all the discontinued Mountain Dew flavors, the original Pitch Black is the only one I yearn for. But I’m not alone. Whenever we post something about Mountain Dew there’s usually a comment that says something like, “I wished they’d bring back Pitch Black.”
Well, my fellow Mountain Dew Pitch Black fans, Mountain Dew Pitch Black is back.*
Yes, that’s an asterisk and it’s not the good kind of asterisk.
*Mountain Dew is bringing back Pitch Black in limited quantities and you’ll have to enter a sweepstakes to have a chance to win some.
The sweepstakes will begin on Thursday, December 3 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time via the Mountain Dew Facebook page and will run through Saturday, December 5, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans can enter the sweepstakes by commenting why they want Pitch Black on the sweepstakes posts using the hashtags #WeWantPitchBlack and #Sweeps. Fans will have three chances to enter (once per day) and 1,050 lucky fans will win a 15-pack case of Mountain Dew Pitch Black.
Good luck!
Psst… Pitch Black will also be back next year alongside Baja Blast.
Think they’ll be bringing back Sangrita Blast, too? That one really grew on me this summer.
is that so?? im bettting they will go pitch black and neevr give us wht we want.. let me know how that works out
I really wish they’d just bring it back permanently. I used to feel the same way about Pepsi Throwback when they just kept bringing it back for limited times.
exacly. just quit being a hog and make it permaent.. as with nt having livewire here in the west coast… but juice is bettter then soda.. just saying.. anyhoos
It totally needs to make a permanent return to store shelves. It was one of my favorite flavors of Mountain Dew of all time. And I remember trying to grab as many cases as I could before it vanished. Wasn’t as big a fan of Pitch Black II with the Sour Black Grape taste though. So I am glad that we’re getting the original to return. Hope I win a case… though that will just mean painful anticipation until it comes back at retail.
stop stop with the effin limitd crap.. we r tired of greedy companies that just want to release it and just have it back.. so then if they r not gonna care and make it permanent then stop getting it out there.. and btw soda is nothing more then bittter carbonation… il stick to my v8 blueberry….. stupid companies..
I got one of the winners! Thanks so much for the heads up TIB!! 🙂
Awesome! Congratulations!
