Mountain Dew is bringing back one of its most popular flavors — but fans will have to purchase a variety pack to get their hands on it. The citrusy soda, known as White Out, was discontinued six years ago and is now returning to store shelves in a patriotic 18-can variety pack exclusively at Walmart for a limited time.
White Out Returns
The citrus-flavored soda, described as having hints of yuzu and lemongrass, was originally launched in 2010 as part of a fan-voted campaign before being abruptly removed from the market in 2019. Now, fans can enjoy the beloved flavor in Walmart's "America Pack," which includes six Code Red Mountain Dews, six Voltage Raspberry Mountain Dews, and six White Outs. The pack costs around $13, according to Walmart's website.
The red, white, and blue variety pack taps into nostalgic flavors ahead of Memorial Day and Fourth of July celebrations, coinciding with America's 250th anniversary. After its launch on Monday, the pack is expected to be discontinued again at some point during the summer.
Limited Availability
The limited-edition release means there are no diet or zero sugar options, and the special pack cannot be ordered online. Pepsi did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the returning flavor.
Online, fans celebrated the flavor's reboot. One soda drinker wrote on X, "Please keep whiteout a permanent flavor it's been too long the universe is in chaos with its absence." Another added, "Mountain Dew should have never discontinued White Out, it's still just as good as it was back in the day." A third posted, "Waiting for my Walmart to get these, I want to try Mountain Dew White Out again so bad!"
Patriotic Products for America's 250th
Mountain Dew is not the only brand rolling out patriotic products to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. Earlier this month, Oreo introduced a limited-edition flavor inspired by the iconic red, white, and blue ice pop, featuring blue raspberry, lemon, and cherry creme between two golden cookies. Chips Ahoy is also releasing red, white, and blue cookies called Chips Ahoy! Crunchy Red, White & Blue Candy Blasts.
Cheerios is offering a limited-edition Birthday Cake cereal with sprinkles in a red, white, and blue box featuring fireworks. Additionally, Coca-Cola is joining the celebration with collectible state-themed mini bottles and cans.
