History
DEWmocracy 2: Collective Intelligence
- Main article: DEWmocracy
White Out was first tested alongside multiple other new flavors in a tour that stopped in 17 American cities in 2009. Taste testers were to give their input, and at the end of the tour, three flavor finalists were chosen. The three flavors names and flavors were chosen with the help of Dew Labs members, and the designs were submitted from artistic fans. Then, they were released to the public on April 19, 2010 as Typhoon, Distortion, and White Out, and drinkers were to try all three and vote on which they preferred. Voting ended in June, and White Out was announced to be the winner, holding 44% of the votes. It was officially rereleased to stores on October 4th of that year.
