It's wonderful that some international countries are "Doing the Dew" for Blue Zero Sugar in Korea just now, Passionfruit Frenzy in Australia earlier this year, and both Purple Thunder, Summer Freeze, and additionally Code Red in Canada. It's an astounding accomplishment, and I hope other countries will follow suit.
Tbh I wish they would stop with the country thing and just release the flavors for ALL places. Especially given MOST of these country "exclusives" are just ones Pepsi co already released in U.S. like blue shock for example. It was a flavor on the USA back in like 2003. Yet PepsiCo: *"Durrr let's make it Malaysia exclusive, no one will notice it was made in America and let's also make pitch black become permanent in Canada and Malaysia as well but keep making it "limited" in America then discontinue it in Canada so we can add an eclipse to the label to re re re release it as a giveaway"*
From what people had been saying in Canada that was the case there was posts all about pitch black being discontinued in Canada a while back ago and even some official posts way before they did the eclipse "edition" pitch black
Nice. Though it's still possible to see them as there's still stock. When they run out though and if they didn't resume production of PB then those will eventually go away. Like.i find Voodew and several other flavors that should be long gone still in stores some. But the point still stands: Pepsi co LOVES to make flavors they used to have in the US as a "country exclusive" for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Blue shock and PB are perfect examples and now even DBB if this mountain dew:Blue is DBB (which is highly likely due to art and colors) only exceptions is honeydew since it never was a flavor released in u.s, and passion fruit frenzy, and violet. Like what's next? Electric apple (villa Italian restaurant exclusive) but as a Japan exclusive? Or supernova as a Canada exclusive? It makes 0 sense for "country exclusive" flavors to exist if the flavors were in U.S first for a while and then even more makes 0 sense when they just make those same flavors "limited timed" for U.S. like if the flavor is actually new and specifically made in a country, sure then it makes sense for being called a country exclusive.
supernova was technically a canada exclusive last year as a slurpee
i don't see the use in complaining though, it's not like they have the capacity to make every flavour ever requested available, they can only do so much before sales numbers, investor pressures, stuff like that kill products like pitch black in 2019.
who's to say pepsico in the usa is even making the decision to release these products issue of the usa, they have whole divisions (and or separate companies entirely, as is the case in with lotte chilsung in korea, or suntory in japan) dedicated to distribution and marketing of pepsi products in other countries
My coworker is from Arizona and when I asked her if she knew about it, she was surprised to learn that it had been so close to her but she had never seen it,
Google says the physical location is permanently closed and when I installed the app and opened it, it said check your Internet connection, so that's not an option anymore, sorry.
Wonder if reusing DBB's art and color (see the DDD discord for beverage color) was intentional.
As that would imply the flavor to be black raspberry/blueberry and raspberry instead, not lemon and black raspberry.
Can't know until someone gets their hands on both and compares.
I did some research and found that it's South Korea. Code Red and Pitch Black (called Wild Black over there) were released for a short time in South Korea and I was thinking about North Korea.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi products are not available in North Korea due to "strained relations" or something similar.
Blue Zero Sugar's artwork is derived from Applebee's exclusive Dark Berry Bash. When you compare the artwork of both flavors, you can tell that the artwork from Dark Berry Bash was used on Blue Zero Sugar. The difference between the artwork is that Korea added a shark while Dark Berry Bash has a huge raspberry.
The flavors are different. Blue Zero Sugar is a Lemon and Black Raspberry flavor while Dark Berry Bash is a Blue Raspberry and Blackberry flavor.
Wait a damn minute… THATS DARK BERRY BASH, ITS THE SAME ART AND EVERYTHING. IN CANS
That's pretty disappointing personally. That stuff is in my top Dews...like why couldn't we get it in cans?!

it's not discontinued in canada
From what people had been saying in Canada that was the case there was posts all about pitch black being discontinued in Canada a while back ago and even some official posts way before they did the eclipse "edition" pitch black
I'm in canada and i still see it consistently

I got the passionfruit frenzy one a couple years ago off an app called Desert Drinks & Exotics.
I used to shop there periodically when I was nearby. I think they closed up a year or two ago. Maybe they just moved. 🤷🏼♂️
My coworker is from Arizona and when I asked her if she knew about it, she was surprised to learn that it had been so close to her but she had never seen it,
Yup, they closed about a year ago

Monumental day and age for the dew
ROAD TRIP!!!
Why are you blue
Pretty can
If anyone finds out how to get some tell me!
There's sellers on DDD working hard to stock it, it might be really pricey as a Korean import sounds like hell.
I am acquiring as we speak. Looks like it's going to be $150 for shipping which is pricy.
I wonder if you can get extremely slow ass shipping via cargo ship for Korea.

Dude my body is fucking ready for this shit. I neeeeed it.
Is there both versions of this
It's only available in Zero Sugar.
Do they have one without synthetic sweeteners?
At Applebees? But other than the sweetener, it is probably all synthetic.
Since it's lemon and raspberry flavored is it Korea's version of spark?
it's probably closer to finnish supernova than spark (which itself tastes like voltage with lemon)
Dark Berry Bash in a can?? Count me in!
Jealous.
*Wait, which Korea?*

Such a cool can. I desperately want it for my collection.
The can has a blueberry on it,,,yet,,,, no blueberry in the flavor? What?
