History
- Main article: DEWmocracy
Voltage was designed by Mountain Dew fans during the first phase of DEWmocracy I, and was released over the summer of 2008 to compete with Supernova and Revolution to become a permanent flavor. In August, voting had ended and Voltage was announced the winner, holding 41% of the votes. It was officially rereleased to stores on December 29th of that year.
- Main article: FanDEWmonium
Diet Voltage was created in 2011 for FanDEWmonium, and was a finalist, meaning it had a limited release to stores alongside Diet Supernova. Diet Supernova was announced the winner, with Voltage holding 45% of the votes.
In 2011, Voltage was released in New Zealand, but was given the name "Electro Shock" and described as "DEW with a charge of wild berry flavor." It is commonly mistaken to be a different flavor than Voltage, but the two are in fact the same flavor. Electro Shock was discontinued in 2014 and replaced with White Out.
- Main article: DEWmocracy Canada
Voltage became part of DEWmocracy Canada in 2013, and was released into stores on March 2013 and was competing for votes against Code Red, White Out, and Supernova. On July 4th, it was announced that Voltage had won DEWmocracy Canada, and it was released into stores permanently on July 15th.
On August 2014, it was announced that Voltage would be released in Uganda.
