![]() Out of no where, Citrus Cherry began to pop up in areas without a game to promote and nothing to indicate that it was limited time only, and no information was released by PepsiCo about this. The video games that it promote were Ryse: Son of Rome, Dead Rising 3, and Kinect Sports Rivals. I thought that it was better than most flavors at the time, like Baja Blast and Code Red. Now since I haven't had it in 3 years, it's probably my 14th favorite of all time. This is the first other Game Fuel variant I tried other than Citrus Cherry. Electrifying Berry debuted in October 2013 until the end of that year. By August 2013, final label designs for this flavor and Citrus Cherry had been created. In July 2013, several fans were given the chance of try a "Goji Strawberry" Mountain Dew. It would also promote the new game Halo 4. In the UK, they would be getting their own flavor with a Raspberry-Citrus taste. But Game Fuel that year was not only in the United States. ![]() From that point on, it has been on my top 10 favorites of all time lists. This was the second year with the Dew XP caps, and this was the first year ever that I had Citrus Cherry. ![]() This year, Citrus Cherry was released without a companion. This year would start a streak, with each year containing a Game Fuel promotion. This was the first year that the caps on the bottles contained codes for Dew XP that granted players double experience points in-game. The companion this year was Tropical flavor, dark green in color. The two flavors were released in October and promoted the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. A week later, those two flavors were confirmed by Mountain Dew. The auction ended on August 17, with the winning bid at $49.00 (plus $5.65 shipping charges). Many rumors spread, but then an e-Bay auction was spotted containing the fan favorite Citrus Cherry, with an unidentified companion. With those discontinued flavors brought back, demand (or DEWmand haha) increased for Game Fuel to come back. In 2011, the Back by Popular DEWmand promotion included 3 discontinued flavors, Pitch Black, Supernova, and Typhoon. Game Fuel was probably skipped again in 2010 becuase of DEWmocracy 2. The two flavors had nicknames, Citrus Cherry was "Horde Red," and Wild Fruit was "Alliance Blue." This is when I started to drink Dew, but I don't think I ever had Wild Fruit. This time, the promoted video game was World of Warcraft (WoW). Pepsi brought back the Game Fuel line with a new flavor, Wild Fruit, and brought back Citrus Cherry. Game Fuel was absent during 2008, probably because of the DEWmocracy promotion. I did not drink Mountain Dew at that time. During this time it was also released as a freeze form in 7-Elevens. The first flavor called Citrus Cherry was released in August for a 12 week period. Pepsi decided to make a whole new flavor line of Mountain Dew called Game Fuel. PepsiCo asked Microsoft if they could make a deal to promote the new game. On the video game console Xbox 360, the third installment in the popular series Halo was about to release. I would like to write this post explaining the whole history of the Game Fuel promotion as well as expressing my opinions on each flavor. ![]() Almost 10 years ago in 2007, Mountain Dew Game Fuel (Citrus Cherry) was released.
