American Dew, anyone?

In celebration of America's 250th anniversary, Mountain Dew is releasing limited-edition 12-ounce cans and 20-ounce bottles under the name "American Dew." Available through the summer, American Dew also celebrates Mountain Dew's 78th anniversary, with its ties to Tennessee.

"Since 1948, Mountain Dew has been defined by a bold, unapologetic taste born in Tennessee. An American Original – Tasting Great Since ’48 is our tribute to where we started – and to the fans who’ve carried the brand forward for nearly 80 years," Mountain Dew Marketing Vice President Michael Smith said in a news release. "American Dew is a tangible celebration of that story, created to mark this moment in a meaningful way."
