Ramp!

Voting for Mountain Lion.

great poll

voted hillbilly holler btw

There was a 25¢ vending machine near my high school that had Moon Mist. I thought it was such a cool and evocative name and such a disgusting beverage!

nothing beats the taste of an ice cold ramp

I like that Heee Haw has three e's.

"Pop the Drop!"

tbh i wouldn't describe mt dew or its imitators as "citrus" flavored at all-- unlike, say, sprite or 7up or fresca.

yah, in retrospect it seems like a bad idea to try to bottle and sell evaporated menses

but not as bad an idea as hitting "submit post" after typing that

No SKI, no credibili-ty.

I prefer Citrus Drop to the OG.

Me too. I wonder how much of the decision to use 3 e's was to avoid infringing on the copyright of the TV show, and how much was aesthetic. And how long it took to make that decision. And if there were arguments for and against, and what those arguments were.

Ski soda has also long been a mainstay and means of survival for campers and staff at the Boy Scouts of America's, Chief Logan Reservation

No mountain goat, no credibility.

needs to be an actual soft drink called U Disgust Me, imho

the original flavor of mt. dew is honeydew melon (and dr. pepper is prune!)

Mountain Maze makes me lol. Sounds more like a name for an intoxicant/hallucinogenic.

Also missing Sun Drop, a soda so delicious nasty, it still has pulp floating in the bottom.

I feel sorry for non-southerners who don't get to drink Sun Drop. It's not really a fake Mountain Dew since it came first, but Sun Drop is like Mountain Dew to the thousandth power.

"pop open a heee haw" has a nice ring to it

"pop a haw" imo

started out w hillbilly holler, was briefly tempted by mountain maze, but was seduced away at the last moment by moon mist

get right contenderizer

"Old Yeller" should be an option

Yeah, I like the name Heee Haw, although there's a certain "oh hell, let's just combine Mountain Dew and Mello Yello" thought process to Mountain Yeller that cracks me up. As do some of these important wiki facts:

Mountain Holler is also touted as a "radical citrus thirst blaster" and has a small, but cult-like group following around the U.S.[citation needed] Its taste is closer to Surge than Mountain Dew.

Mountain Roar is no longer available at most Harris Teeters, but you can sometimes find Diet Mountain Roar.

I had a girlfriend who seemingly lived on cigarettes and Sun Drop.

Yeah it's too big but fuckit:

it'll tickle your innards.

XTREME

Oh wow, I actually remember those big glass bottles with the styrofoam wraparound label.

The neon BMX Dew sign really sticks out in a bad way.

It'll Tickle Yore Innards >>>>>>>> Do the Dew

mountain holler is the save-a-lot store brand

You can get a 12-pack of Citrus Drop for $2 at Kroger right now.

Sam's Choice Mountain Lightning used to be called Green Lightning.

Pointless FYI. Carry on.

Mountain Holler ftw

"Git enuff snorts fer ever'body!"?!

It seems so implausible that there was ever a company who wanted to associate their brand with ragged, illiterate hillbillies in the mind of the general public.

more on the old names, Faygo's original Mtn Dew-like drink was straight up called Moonshine. I remember as a kid seeing it available in the soda machine at Ridgecrest conference center in North Carolina and being curious. I ate a Moonpie there. And dad made me try a childhood favorite of his, Nehi Peach soda, which I hated.

Mountain Holler is an off brand name that always makes me giggle. I recall Save-A-Lot having a very funny name for their knock off Dew as well.

That is the Save-A-Lot brand? Maybe I was thinking of the Bubba line that they also sell.

Mountain Rush. But only because of the 70s hard rock connotations.

dude I've been drinking Moon Mist all week...had a couple glasses this morning (all I had for breakfast)

Used to drink Mountain Moondrops as a kid. Totally sounds like something that should be mixed with a psychedelic compound.

It's funny to me that the drinks listed in this thread that pre-dated Mountain Dew all have higher levels of caffeine.

((O_O)))

like no wonder moonshine is popular only if it's to take the edge off your raging caffeine buzz

haha check out the g/ml of caffeine in the throwback versions

whoa when did hee-haw get a third E? i used to work the graveyard at hy-vee and i could SWEAR it was only two!

i wonder if i just never noticed!

well then

think I've only had/seen mountain yeller. I don't seek out these things in my spare time.

You think that they put three eee's to cover up the space above the word haw but when you think about it, they couldve just made a big H with two e's on top and underneath it.

KKKountry Misttt

voting it because it's just so terrible

dudes what about mountain EXPLOSION!!!!!!!

I was only going off Wikipedia + the other I knew about ("Tiki Dew," at one point my brother had twelve 12 packs of it in his closet, which is gross in more ways than one). Sorry for the world's generic groceries that don't have crazy wikipedia members shopping these for generic Mt. Dews.

Ah not Tiki Dew, Tiki Mist.

Why SHasta makes two generic Mt. Dews is beyond me!

well one is obviously targeting Mistheads while the other is targeting Dewheads
