Anyone had or even seen this yet? We just got it in where I work and I have to say - it's definitely interesting. It's black-grape flavored.

"Review"

The soda looks black, but when you pour it, it's more of a purple with some crazy blue fizz...kinda weird :D :beer:

So yeah, anyone seen, heard of, or tried it yet? :)

Edit: Added my pics :)

Hm, I'll have to keep an eye out. We just finally got the guy to put Live Wire in our vending machine.

No word on how much caffeine is in it, but there's 31g of Sugars * 2.5 Servings~

I don't believe it's even available online yet as I haven't even seen it in stores, and as for Sprite Tropical, I like the Berry Remix better :D

And dammit, I am the vending guy! :Q :) :D :p

*sips Pitch Black* ;)

I'll have to try that... I see on the Taco Bell cups they advertise a new flavor of Mountain Dew, it's not the Pitch Black though, some green color IIRC.

I was just reading about this on bevnet.com and may have to go out and find a bottle or two. :D

I prefer drinks with as little artificial coloring as possible. My drinks of choice are sprite and orange juice...

I doubt it will be on the market for very long. I remember taking a consumer behavior course and this same topic was brought up. Since the consumer is accustomed to the flavor of Mt. Dew, and the color of the drink, people will be turned off by something that doesn't "look" appetizing.

Remember clear Pepsi? Just a memory now.

I happened to see it at a store this morning and bought a bottle.

I like Mountain Dew. I like grape soda. I do not like Mountain Dew Pitch Black.

It's basically just regular mountain dew, dyed purple, with some grape flavoring, and the 2 flavors don't mix very well in my opinion

Haven't tried pitch black, but I didn't like Baja Blast. It kind of tasted like diluted Code Red with just a slight hint of imitation lime flavor.

If they were smart they'd bring back Crystal Pepsi. I'm sure it would sell better than these new concoctions due to the nostalgia factor alone. Plus, I vaugely remember it being quite tasty.
