The final Diet Dew
I just finished my last original formula Diet Mountain Dew. I captured the moment on my cell phone camera (seen to the right), and I'll post some more photos later if they turn out.This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

encourage your reader to make up a few flyers and take them to bulletin boards in their area. I did this. Here is a sample of what I did:

MAKE PEPSI CHANGE DIET MOUNTAIN DEW BACK TO THE ORIGINAL TASTE. “TUNED UP TASTE” IS TERRIBLE!!!
GO TO:
NEWDIETDEWISYUCKY.COM
AND ALSO, FIGHTFORFLAVOR.COM TO SIGN A PETITION TO BRING BACK REGULAR DIET MT. DEW.
I had some pictures, I don't know if they willl show up to you. Melissa WV
Wow...you really ARE pasty, aren't you?
: D
Don't give up the fight when you are caffiene free! Remember us...we don't have your strength!!!!
Somebody should register for the next PepsiCo Investors Conference Call (will probably be in July or August), and ask the following question of the CEO:
"Now that it's been a few months since you decided to drastically change the flavor of Diet Mountain Dew and potentially disenfranchise that longstanding loyal customer base, was wondering how the sales in that particular segment were going?"
You probably won't get a useful answer, but believe me, the CEO or CFO will fire off an e-mail to the product manager immediately after the call and it will raise the visibility dramatically.
Jeremy -
I feel your PAIN!! I'm looking at my depleting stock of OFDMD & it's getting Low. My Wife isn't going to like when that day rolls around!
WE HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING!! DAMN PEPSICO!!
This really Sucks, we (The Loyal) drinkers weren't even told they'd be changing our Soda!

I feel for ya, I just don't feel your pain yet though

Thanks, and good luck drinking all of that before it expires and tastes worse than new Diet Dew. *grin*
In my area of WV all the regular mt. dew bottles have coupons attached to them for more mt. dew - looks rather desperate to me. Also, outdated DMD stills tastes better than the new stuff... figures! (Just wish I had some more since I ran out too!)
I have one 12 pack left. These last cans will be considered 'a treat', and I plan to drink them only on special occasions. I figure I'll have to go at least a year before I can even try the new diet dew formula again. It may take longer than that to forget what diet dew is supposed to taste like. I've always limited myself to two or three cans per day, and I need to ween myself. Cold turkey is just NOT an option! 05/26/2006. TLA
