Mountain Dew History
Mountain Dew is a popular carbonated soft drink known for its distinctive citrus flavor and bright green color. The history of Mountain Dew can be traced back to the 1940s in the United States, where it was first created as a mixer for whiskey.
In 1940, two Tennessee-based beverage bottlers, Barney and Ally Hartman, developed a new citrus-flavored soda that they called "Mountain Dew." The name was inspired by the slang term for moonshine, a type of homemade high-proof distilled spirit. The original formula had a strong citrus flavor and was less carbonated than most other sodas of the time. The Hartmans intended for Mountain Dew to be used as a mixer for whiskey, as they were not satisfied with the mixers available at the time.
In the 1950s, the Hartmans struggled to market Mountain Dew, and the brand changed hands a few times. In 1964, the Tip Corporation, based in Marion, Virginia, acquired the rights to Mountain Dew. Bill Bridgforth, a chemist at the Tip Corporation, modified the original formula, making it sweeter and more carbonated. The company also introduced the iconic "hillbilly" mascot, Willy the Hillbilly, and the tagline "Ya-Hoo, Mountain Dew! It'll tickle your innards."
The success of Mountain Dew caught the attention of the Pepsi-Cola Company, which acquired the Tip Corporation and the Mountain Dew brand in 1964. PepsiCo continued to develop the brand and introduced a new marketing strategy in the 1970s and 1980s, targeting young people and outdoor enthusiasts. They emphasized the high caffeine and sugar content of the drink, associating it with an energetic and adventurous lifestyle.
In the 1990s, PepsiCo launched the "Do the Dew" marketing campaign, which further solidified Mountain Dew's image as a drink for thrill-seekers and extreme sports enthusiasts. This marketing approach helped to propel Mountain Dew to become one of the top-selling soft drinks in the United States.
Over the years, Mountain Dew has diversified its product line, introducing various flavors, limited-edition releases, and low-calorie or caffeine-free versions. Today, Mountain Dew remains a popular soft drink choice and continues to be associated with a youthful, adventurous, and energetic lifestyle.
