Looks like the company has decided to bring back it's full name and a sort of retro logo for now:

I still like the current logo, but I do love a good retro comeback.

And I hope and pray REAL hard they never discontinue my "Code Red"

I was eight years old when Mountain Dew was introduced, but I just couldn't take the heavy carbonation, it felt like battery acid with every swallow. The original animated TV ads were cool and very popular with my school friends.

Ha! Very much playing into the "mountain" living aspect.

As I recall, the original Mountain Dew was only available in glass bottles (the only container it wouldn't eat through), and the formula was changed to make it compatible with canning. Everyone noticed the change in flavor but the cans were more convenient.

edd, seeing that great ad makes me wanna watch my classic commercial DVD collection all over again! 

Hey MM, that's called the "Willy the Hillbilly" effect.

I was so mad when they discontinued White Out. It was one of their best flavors and now you can only find it in rare quantities in the midwest.

Oh, yeah. I remember White Out. That was a good flavor too.

Apparently "Live Wire's" still around.
