New Mountain Dew "DewShine" to Hit Shelves Later This Month

Mountain Dew is coming out with what looks like a craft version of their original soda in new DewShine later this month. The soda is described on the packaging as a "clear citrus flavored Dew" and is "made with real sugar" (i.e. cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup).

The name appears to be a play on moonshine alcohol, which is interesting since "mountain dew" is also slang for moonshine. According to marketing materials, the new soda is "inspired by Dew's homebrewed mountain roots."

Mountain Dew DewShine is slated to arrive late this month in 12-oz glass bottles available individually or in packs of four.
