Code Red (Also known in Canada as Code Rouge) is a Mountain Dew flavor variant. Released in 2001, the flavor proved to be very successful, increasing overall Mountain Dew sales by 6% in its first year and leading to the creation of multiple other flavors. Its tagline is "DEW with a rush of cherry flavor".
Description
Mountain Dew Code Red is a cherry flavored soda, and as its name suggests, it is red in color. In New Zealand and Australia, Code Red is berry flavored.
Diet Code Red
After a successful first year on shelves, Diet Code Red was put into production in 2002. This is similar to how Red and Sport both received Diet versions before Code Red came along.
Energised Code Red
In 2014, Code Red was released as a limited edition flavor in Australia, but using the Mountain Dew Energised formula. Similar to the New Zealand Variant, this flavor has a Berry flavor instead of Cherry. The flavor was available from April to September of that year.
DEWmocracy Canada
Code Red was featured alongside Voltage, Supernova and White Out in Canada's DEWmocracy in 2013. Despite being in Canada before, it lost to Voltage, landing in second above White Out and Supernova, in direct order.
DEWmand 2014
Code Red returned with White Out and Supernova in the 2014 DEWmand promotion. It had beat Supernova and White Out, and Code Red was launched as a permanent flavor in 591ml bottles and 355ml 12 can cases on September 2, 2014.
