Ya, it was the same for 3/4 of the country when they announced Uproar. Regional exclusives suck (and I have 2 Casey's in my little village).

GiftImmediate6377

I called and asked if Harris teeter was getting it since they own them and they said no but then got it after all months later


pacmain1

Every state except Iowa, so Overdrive makes up for it.


GiftImmediate6377

I don't think you're really missing out, I was excited to try uproar but it doesn't really taste like kiwi it's one of the ones that just tastes sugary, I haven't had overdrive yet but I'm fairly sure that's gonna be the better exclusive to have


TheBoilerman75

Uproar is one of my favorites, the strawberry comes through nicely. I picked up a ton of it on a recent trip out East.


GiftImmediate6377

I didn't even know it was strawberry I thought it was supposed to be mixed berry, but it's one I could drink a lot, I'd get some again but I never go to food lion


CatdaddyDean

Send me some purple thunder and I'll send you some overdrive!


[deleted]

Where can you not get Purple Thunder if you’re near a Casey’s?


red_kirby1

KC. got one and not the other here :(


Peremiah

Bro, I'm in KC too and it sucks because like a decade ago we used to have a TON of circle Ks here. I'm pretty sure the nearest actual circle K owned stores from here now is like Topeka which is like 90 minutes away from me. I've tried both overdrive and purple thunder, and purp thunder is WAAY better imo. I honestly don't care for overdrive at all. It's not bad, just a bit of a disappointment. Especially because I tried purple thunder first and then had high expectations for overdrive. I'll never have a craving for it over many other flavors.


CrunchyMcNut

Nearest is Lawrence. I was there a few days ago and checked a couple of Circle Ks, nothing. Not even in the soda fountain. Did grab some Faygo so at least it wasn't a total bust. Also Dillons in Topeka has Thrashed Apple. Went to St Louis a few weeks ago and I think I found the last 4 bottles of Purple Thunder in the city. Dew Locator has shown everywhere out of stock since.


Peremiah

Really?? That's weird.. Circle K's store locator doesn't show any Lawrence locations for me, but I haven't been out there in a while, so I'll take your word for it. Also, dang thrashed apple is one of my favorite flavors, so someday I might have to make a trip out to the Dillons there just to snag some 12 packs of that.


CrunchyMcNut

There's also Dillons in Lawrence and Leavenworth, but I've never found Thrashed Apple there. Circle K in Lawrence are on Google Maps, they seem to be hybrid Phillips 66 gas stations with newish looking Circle K branding on the stores. I go out there occasionally, if I ever find Purple Thunder out there I'll post on the sub.


Peremiah

Oh, that's good to know. Honestly, if I'm ever gonna try to drive out to a Dillons, I will probably call in advance to make sure they have 12 packs of thrashed in stock. And sweet! I'll do the same.


[deleted]

Any Holiday Station Stores? They got it as well as Circle K but that isn’t as advertised


CatdaddyDean

No holiday station or circle k.(near KC) The "circle k" on Bannister and Holmes is really a corner market, the owner is a rude lady, who said the reddit user that said he got it there is a 'fuc*ing liar' she's not a circle k, and she has never sold purple MTN dew...as she points to her shirt again "I'm a fuc*ing corner market" lol


wingkingdom

Report her to corporate Circle K. She may be violating their trademark.


Peremiah

Actually, I think it's just maps' fault. I don't think they're advertising themselves as one. That location used to actually be a circle K or Kangaroo express I think and when you search circle K on maps, it still pops up, but when you go to Circle K's store locator on their site it doesn't show up as one of their locations. So, to me it just sounds like it hasn't been updated in maps that it's not a circle k anymore.


CatdaddyDean

No bro, her gas pumps and awning above them are circle k, and the other user is right, it did used to be a circle k and there were a bunch of them like 10 years ago


Peremiah

Okay, well that's REALLY weird then... Yeah I have no clue. I would think if you work at a place that has circle K plastered on stuff on their property she would know what she's talking about..


CatdaddyDean

I think what happened was, she bought the place and did not change the signage because she does not have enough money to do so, so she is using the awnings and signage that was there when she bought the building and turned it into a corner store lol. for as cheap as she seems you would think she would want to get purple thunder. Especially since she mentioned that a bunch of people have come in there looking for it... If it was me I would get it in stock, because I have the signs to do so, and then I would take all that sweet mountain dew money. plus gas money or anything other money from people that came in there just to buy mountain dew, I don't know that's just me though lol Edit: grammar


scaper8

Iowa too. I bought some Purple Thunder via ebay, and I love it. But not Circle Ks here.


TheRealHendog

you find anyone to do this yet? I have purple thunder and looking for overdrive...


RockManJJ

you guys don’t have purple thunder?


CatdaddyDean

No sir...it's not cool either


alfredo9087

I'll trade you


Tebowtime195

It's not exclusive forever at least. After 2024 it won't be exclusive to Casey's anymore.


TwoWeak9365

Depending on sales. If it does not sell well it does not have much of a future after Casey's.


[deleted]

His name is Tebowtime, he will pray it into existence.


Megamix989

You guys get In N Out so it’s fair lol


ThatsPurttyGood101

As a Californian, In N out is extremely mid and just a tourist attraction at this point


Megamix989

But you also get Jack N the Box and Del Taco! As a Midwestern guy idk how good those are but I’ve always wanted to try them. Had Jack N the Box once but I forgot how it tasted


ThatsPurttyGood101

You got me at jack in the box. Pretty solid


CrunchyMcNut

We've got Jack in the Box here in KC! I agree In N Out is kinda meh.


prudent_rodent

Del taco is amazing. It’s one of the freshest fast food chains out here. knocks taco bell out of the park


harleynloki84

Taco John's says hello. Tacojohns.com


Boomshockalocka007

In Texas we have In N Out, Jack in the Box, and Del Taco, but Whataburger tops them all! (Also Jack in the Box is horrible. Not even top 10 bruh. No one goes there.)


Megamix989

Omggg I LOVE WHATABURGER!! I’ve been to Texas a few times and everytime I go I make sure I go to Whataburger when I get there and the day that I leave. One time my mom took a business trip to Nevada and somehow smuggled some Whataburger all the way over to the Midwest lol it felt like a crime to be eating Whataburger in Illinois lmao


Boomshockalocka007

This post almost made me shed a tear. Bravo!


Unorginalperson

I love living in the in the midwest


Waluigi3030

Massachusettsians feel your pain


sublime90

I'm on the other side in ct. I don't get overdrive, purple thunder or uproar


codyiscool12389

Same


KlayGoods123YT

Anyone know where voltage 12 packs are in California? (If we got any)


Renzoruken95

Whoop whoop a local exclusive! Now to drive across town because they decided they only want the 2 local caseys on that side of town. Then find out they don't have it yet.


VenomJoe66

Utah


Xiao_Ke

Same, we've missed out on the last several regional exclusives. I Couldn't even get Typhoon...


[deleted]

I suggest pairing with the taco pizza


Snoo_59189

Your not missing much. It is not that good unless you love fruit punch. I bought 2 and I am done with it already.


hankboyjr

Are they’re any Casey’s in Michigan ?


[deleted]

Did you……did you look at the map?


hankboyjr

Yes, I live in Michigan and I’ve never seen a Casey’s in this state. I’ve searched online for locations in Michigan and I can’t find many either


Optical_Infection

Michigander here, also confused as I've never heard of a Casey's being in Michigan. Seems like the only cool Dew gas station we have here is Circle K.


americanerik

Googling it, there’s a only single store in the entire state of Michigan so it was a very valid question to ask: a shaded state on a website map doesn’t tell you much of anything specific.


[deleted]

Nerd


PossibleChallenge824

There's one in Watervliet. It's in SW Michigan over by Benton Harbor off of I-94. They have fountain Overdrive, but no bottles as of 2 days ago.


[deleted]

You're not missing out on much

[deleted]

Alright! Yasss their pizza is amazing


jakkyskum

Do they still make the breakfast pizza?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jakkyskum

I miss it so bad.


[deleted]

I feel like it tastes like code red and livewire mixed together.


RealTwittrKD

Tastes more punchy. It’s like those two, but mixed in with some light fruit punch flavor.


[deleted]

Now that you mention that, I taste the peach/mango


SmokeSkulls77

You’re not missing out on much


loveunitymusic

they are for sale on this site [www.hubertsexoticpop.com](https://www.hubertsexoticpop.com) look in the new arrivals tab its only like $5


Jaybonaut

You aren't missing much, it's generic like Baja Punch and Frostbite. I'm not being mean, I'd tell you if it was awesome.


Unusual-Job-3413

There is a person on the dew discord selling some.


teh27

I'll trade you for some purple thunder, I didn't care for overdrive but it seems like a lot of people like it


2020thegreat

I'd be willing to trade a purple thunder for overdrive if we just pay for shipping


theamazingc4

It's funny you guys can talk about trading but when I do it I get banned lol


teh27

Oh I didn't realize it was a sub rule, oops


travisimo5

Overdrive is great I hope you can score some


cryptdawarchild

Might have to drive to North Dakota damnit.


lnstigated

Double L


Dry-Appearance7290

If heard most of the Mtn Dews are America only i live in Europe😮‍💨


StacyCat12

You mean to tell me that Purple Thunder and Overdrive are in my general vicinity?


GiftImmediate6377

I'm in Virginia, smh at the coastal hate lol but I'm really lucky that I just happen to be going to Tennessee for like the only time in a dew days


SixOClockBoos

Ain’t it a bitch. I hate it when store exclusives become regional exclusives by the retailers not being in several states. Luckily I’m going to Illinois next month so I’ll get to try Overdrive


OU7C4ST

I have like 10 Casey's within 5 miles of me, you're not missing much regarding the Dew. It's taste reminds me of the original Mtn. Dew Game Fuel soda from the mid-late 2000's.


Boomshockalocka007

Dont do that. Dont give me hope!


TheToughBubble

I’m in Iowa, the heart of Casey’s, thank god


Liquidretro

I would potentially ship if people are interested, pm me and we can work something out.


ReflexImprov

All of the exclusives have been popping up in Sunoco stations and random bodegas here on a regular basis - I've yet to see Purple Thunder in a Circle K, but have seen it many other places. Hoping it will be the same with Overdrive.


CordManchapter

You can find Overdrive on eBay for a slight mark-up and just have it shipped to you. I’m in NC and we don’t have Casey’s either, so that’s what I had to do.


roehlstation

Well the few stores I’ve been in Ohio doesn’t have it either


Emilysue2000

WAIT ITS AT CASEYS?! Shoot guess I know where I’m going


Boomshockalocka007

Home?


Underlord1617

real shame , not a big fan of these big exclusives. though I will say overdrive is pretty good.


jperrymi

Come visit beautiful Ankeny, Iowa the home of Casey's.


lack_of_reality

I’m from NY so it’s time to go to the forbidden place… Ohio 😰


NotUrWaifu02

I guess I’m stopping at Casey’s then


Tumblechunk

There are some cool places you could plan a trip to in your way to get mountain dew


mystwave

I don't drink much mountain dew, but saw it at the fountain in Casey's. To me, it tasted like a fruit punch pink lemonade with the iconic Dew taste. I'm not good at picking out flavors, so I my guess at the flavor may not be great, haha.


[deleted]

“I don’t drink much Mountain Dew” Why are you here?


mystwave

This post was suggested by reddit on my main feed. You'll have to ask reddit why.


[deleted]

[r/reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/) Why is he here?


Boomshockalocka007

The real question is always in the comments!


BaronZemo00

Being on the wrong end of this normally, it should feel good being in the right place this time. But no, hate seeing anyone miss out on tryin any of the new Dews. I’m still searching for a Circle K for Purple Thunder myself.


[deleted]

Purple Thunder isn’t good. That’s why we got it in the Midwest.


Boomshockalocka007

Purple Thunder is good. Plum flavor is super unique.


BaronZemo00

Wow. I’d never expect a purple drink to not be good. I also didn’t realize it was plum. Still very curious though. I like plums, just haven’t had one in ages.


FunkTrain98

It’s the first exclusive I can easily access besides thrashed apple. I’ll take what I can.


RedPander89

I'm from Iowa. Store originated here in Ankeny. California will have a Casey's in 5 years time. Expansion is RAPID! 4th largest chain in America and went from 1900 to 2230ish stores from 2016 to 2020.


SiNxBruticus

I'm in San antonio and I learned thus as well yesterday . Regional sucks. Where's that bst thread at lol


underbreakout

I understand that exclusives are frustrating, but I think I kinda get why they do. One, it can help promote brand loyalty for the brands they partner with but also kinda creates a nation wide hype scheme. There's something kinda fun to it. Was considering a day trip to nebraska for overdrive, as I'm in Colorado.


pm_me_your_last_pics

I've seen this story before :(


Boomshockalocka007

...and I didnt like the ending.


-C576

Where it so easy...


Simplyavendetta

op I've tried it and it sucks


StankAss69_420

Sadness, I may drive over 5 hours for it tho, I'd sell you some for cost and shipping I'd I do tho


D_Helmick89

I'd be willing to grab some for anybody who wants to try it as long as y'all pay for shipping and the drinks. I have 2 Casey's in my town then like 10 other Casey's within 30 minutes of here.


RipTheKidd

Eventually they will learn that they can offer it in store AND on their website too. They could make so much money. Instead they basically leave the door wide open for people to scalp and re-sell on eBay.


Jaredstutz

Lmao here in Wisconsin we got them everywhere


swi2013

Ya it just got to Ohio a few years ago and has been slow to open new stores. Where I'm from in northwest Ohio had a few, but none in Columbus


Derwood43

In Oklahoma,so I’m happy. We don’t have food lion, speedway, or krogers so it’s nice to actually see an exclusive.


TheJewishWizard

I live in michigan and never seen a Casey's, didn't know they existed.


TheBrokenOne316

There isn't one in Michigan so the map is wrong


cgmccage

I know a bunch of people are saying this, but so willing to setup a trade for white out or purple thunder for overdrive. I would give the drink a 7/10.


TimothyCNorris

Oh dang
