While Pitch Black is historically grape flavored, it has attracted many fans who don't like similar sodas. The popular theory as to why the description changes is because standard grape flavored sodas are polarizing. However, it is still internally referred to as being "Black Grape flavored".Ĭontrary to popular belief, the flavor itself hasn't changed. The tagline for its 2023 re-release was " DEW with a Blast of Dark Citrus Punch Flavor with Other Natural Flavors." In Canada, it is simply " Citrus Punch", or " Punch aux agrumes" in French. However, it was referred to as Citrus and Dark Fruit on sites like PepsiCo Product Facts. Its tagline during its 20 releases was " DEW with a Blast of Black Grape with Other Natural Flavors."ĭuring its re-releases from 2015 to 2019, its tagline were removed from the product altogether. Pitch Black was initially described as a Black Grape flavor of Mountain Dew during 20 limited time releases and had a dark purple (hence its name intended to complete darkness) look with a similar theme to other Halloween flavors. 2.7.2 Mountain Dew Energy (Pitch Black).2.3 (2011) Back by Popular DEWmand Limited-Time release.2.2 (2005) Sequel Limited-Time store release.2.1 (2004) Original Limited-Time store release.
