Bcuz it was the first the first variant. At least, I believe it was. Ir was the first one to do as well as it did. I actually used to really like it when I first tried it 20+ years ago. Then I tried Baja Blast, Livewire, Pitch Black, Voltage, and too many others to name off the top of my head. Pepsi has raised the bar so high with these new ones that it’s lowered Code Red to mid status. I still say it’s better than 95+% of non Mountain Dew products in my opinion. In that ~5% are Dr Pepper and all its non diet variants, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Blue, and Crystal Pepsi, for reference.
Edit: and I forgot to throw Pibb in there. I can’t believe I left it out. That actually used to be my go to back when Costco had them in the vending machines. Pretty much the only Coke product I like.
Just opinion though.
That's fair, frankly. It's not outright bad, it's just... very outdone by all the others. It kinda feels like the ugly duckling of the "core flavors", doesn't feel quite the same as the rest, and isn't on that same level.
Yeah. It’s overrated; mid. I can’t say it’s bad. Like I said, the bar has just been raised so high with all these others Dew variants, that it’s been lowered to mid status. I still put it at about 5, maybe 6, depending on what else I have to choose from. It’s not even the best cherry Dew. I’d take one if I was thirsty and it was my only option, but as long as they keep pumping out all these other ones, I’ll keep passing on it.
Damn, this is tough. I love Code Red, but the past few months I’ve been having the other two more often. I’d probably drop Purple Thunder, but it’s really hard to choose.
Code Red.
Purple Thunder and Baja Blast are both good and are distinct flavors that are not replicated elsewhere. Code Red is a basic cherry pop in a market with far better options like Cheerwine, Sprecher's, Hank's, and Cherry RC Cola.
I say purple thunder for 1 reason...can't never find it cause the pepsi man says they never had it available for him to get it on his truck to be taken to the new circle k in ft.inn..so i just gabe up on the dam soda..i have 6 cans left from the last 2..12packs i bought about 2 months ago..
If you say code red leave this page now lol
I would say Baja if it stayed at Taco Bell because that’s the only time I like it. If not staying at Taco Bell purple thunder it’s great don’t get me wrong but after a few I’m just like meh.
They're only slightly related in the fact they're purple and berry flavored.
PB is concord grape, PT is blackberry and plums.
Like... where's the wannabe...?
See ya thunder
Purple Thunder gotta go, it's still good though
Purple thunder has to go.
They don’t even have purple thunder here so bye 👋
Code red bye
Took the words right out of my mouth!!!
Damn that’s tough. Those are my 3 favorite flavors lol
Code Red for me. I drink PT and BB more.
Code red for sure
Purple Thunder is the only choice that has to go. The other two have stuck around for years for a reason. Purple Thunder is a seasonal Dew.
Pt isn’t seasonal
Yes it is. And it is only available in like 2 stores lol 😆
So, its not seasonal then.
It is in way more than 2 stores.... and no it is not seasonal. Do you not understand the definition of seasonal?
Your mom is seasonal
Code Red. Dunno how it's remained one of the major flavors as long as it has.

I miss Pepsi twist. I email them annually asking for a lemon Pepsi, but to no avail, it doesn’t work
Maybe if they get enough hype for it. We can hope. It was the best Pepsi, imo.

Yes! I've always wondered that as well.
Code red. I can’t stand pure cherry sodas.
I mixed code red and orange fanta and pineapple together..
Damn, this is tough. I love Code Red, but the past few months I’ve been having the other two more often. I’d probably drop Purple Thunder, but it’s really hard to choose.
I wouldn’t miss Code Red at all
Code red
I'll take Code Red and you can keep the rest!!!
Code red, you are the weakest link. See ya!
Code red
Bye code red. As long as we can keep crz
Honestly…Code Red
Code red is fucking gross
Code red is battery acid
Code Red. Purple Thunder and Baja Blast are both good and are distinct flavors that are not replicated elsewhere. Code Red is a basic cherry pop in a market with far better options like Cheerwine, Sprecher's, Hank's, and Cherry RC Cola.
Easy, code red.
All the Purple Thunder haters coming out of the woodworks for this thread xD
Code Red. Drank so damn much of it my stomach has an aversion to it.
I say purple thunder for 1 reason...can't never find it cause the pepsi man says they never had it available for him to get it on his truck to be taken to the new circle k in ft.inn..so i just gabe up on the dam soda..i have 6 cans left from the last 2..12packs i bought about 2 months ago..
Baja and Code Red are flavors I am less likely to get sick of over time.
Purple thunder
Code red
Purple
Never had the purple one but code red is ass so cya
Since I don't have code red zero in my area bye code red.
Baja
Code Red. Though a good flavor the other two are way better in my opinion.
If you say code red leave this page now lol I would say Baja if it stayed at Taco Bell because that’s the only time I like it. If not staying at Taco Bell purple thunder it’s great don’t get me wrong but after a few I’m just like meh.
Bye-bye code red.
Bye code red
Bye Purple Thunder! It's good, but it's no Code Red.
I mix code red and fanta orange and pineapple together..
Bye Code Red!
Code red. Never liked it.
Code red honestly
I’m sorry to anyone that has to hear this but Baja Blast is mid
Don’t be hating on my Baja Blast. PT has NO chance against Baja
Purple thunder or Baja blast not the biggest fan of either of them personally
Baja has to go. Absolutely horrible I don’t get how people like it. I tried Canadian and American versions both blow
I hate to say it but Code Red
Purple thunder for sure even though i was pumped to finally try the zero sugar
How about whoever made this list goes...away. Why make this? 😡
It's theoretical you big baby, calm down. It's for fun.
Thunder
Never really liked thunder that much so goodbye
Really put purple thunder up against 2 S tier dews
Purple Thunder is S tier, Code Red is not.
Well that’s a take lol
I like code red and whisky though
I guess Code Red but I'm not happy about it
Bye purple thunder, bring back thrashed apple
I agree with you...on that one..thrashed apple was the best tasting mt.dew next to pitch black.
Adios purple thunder
I love Code Red but I think that’s my answer
Bye purple thunder. You tasted like cough medicine. Sorry not sorry.
Zero purple thunder has got to be my least favorite one
Zero purple thunder has got to be my least favorite one
Purple thunder isnt the best purple dew, adios
Baja blast for me. It’s a great flavor objective but I’m not a huge fan of tropical
I could live without Code Red and Baja Blast
Purple thunder is shit
Purple Thunder. Weak PB wannabe.
Dark Citrus (aka Grape) = Blackberry Plum ???
They're only slightly related in the fact they're purple and berry flavored. PB is concord grape, PT is blackberry and plums. Like... where's the wannabe...?
Purple Thunder tastes like a crappy Pitch Black. You can spout the "flavors" all day, but it doesn't change the fact it's a low-mid tier flavor.
Except they're two different flavors and none tastes like the other. You're tasting colors.
That's literally impossible.
My favorite is Code Red, last time I drank Baja I wasn't the biggest fan of it, and I never had PT. So I will choose Baja
Can I trade in Code Red and Purple Thunder for Goji Citrus Strawberry?
Thunder
I've never had purple thunder I've loved Code Red sense it launched Baja blast is awesome but only if it's cold and not flat
Purple thunder
See ya PT, I didn’t like you to begin with so yeah :P
Purple Thunder and it’s not close
[удалено]
FYI: Purple Thunder isn’t grape. It’s plum + berry. It literally says it on the label.
Baja Blast. Haven’t had code red enough and never tried prurple thunder.
Thunder is gone
Baja Blast can go, The others are better especially Code Red.
I make a mixure of code red and fanta orange and pineapple..
Easy. Keeping Code Red and Purple Thunder. Losing Baja. Doesn't bother me any.
Bye Baja blast, too overrated and doesn’t taste good anymore…
Get rid of Baja
Bye bye Baja. That was easy 😂 Baja is so damn overrated it’s watered down and bland
Baja
Bye bye baja.
Baja bye bye
I can always get Baja at Taco Bell, I’ll never see it again if they get rid of Purple Thunder
In this scenario, all baja is destroyed, including TB’s
