I love the new Mountain Dew and Pepsi throwback designs. The taste along with the logos took me back a much to my carefree teenage days. Now, I wish they would put the pop back in glass bottles!! 2 thumbs up!

I love the "Hillbilly" design. I've thought for years they should put it out in glass bottles with this design. COOL!

The design is nice, but the colors are wrong. I would have gone with a green label with drawings in white, reversing the above.

A white label shouts "DIET", and a lot of customers won't reach for this.

I have the vaguest memory of an old "mountaineer" type bottle that lived in my garage as a kid. It had a hillbilly type asleep under a tree, I think, with a straw hat… Wait, I'm confusing it with the Kickapoo Joy Juice I have now, I think.

It was this: http://homepage.mac.com/catservants/iblog/C755781129/E20060430212615/Media/Mountain%20Dew%20old%20bottle%20180X343.jpg

I like the older fashioned bottles, they have a real class in their unclassiness, though the bottle in this post makes me a little nervous. All that white bespeaks the discount brand no-ads food of my childhood.

While I personally think that the 70's-80's logo is the best out of all the mountain dew logos past and present, I would be very happy if they used the hillbilly logo from the 60's. We already had the chance to buy the 70's-80's style cans, this is something new and I've always liked the whole "It'll tickle yore innards" slogan with the hillbillies, it gives the name "mountain dew" more meaning. Its also the original logo, so you can't get more retro than that. I definitely hope they go with this design. Of course, the next and ultimate step would be mountain dew in glass bottles.

This sucks! I really like the original Mountain Dew throwback design that they came out with. I still have about 4 cans, I haven't been able to find any in a long time though. It reminds me of the 70's-80's cans. I hope they don't go with this "new" old one.

lame idea. unlike Pepsi Throwback, the Mountain Dew design was actually pretty good.

That's one of three options Pepsi presented members of DEW labs.
Interestingly, that's the only new design.
The other two options were the April Throwback and the prototype designs, which you probably unknowingly overlooked, since they're familiar.
I didn't vote for that one, because as cool as it is, Mountain Dew didn't have the taste that Throwback is aiming for when it had that logo.
