Mountain Dew, stylized as Mtn Dew in some countries, is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman.

Cherry is a Mountain Dew flavor first released as a flavor shot in a test market release of a touchscreen soda fountain machine called Pepsi Fusion (designed to compete with Coca-Cola's Freestyle machine) for a short period in 2010.

Just like the Energizing Fruit Punch, this one is rather smooth and mild, where usually this flavor is pretty strong and punchy. It's not overly-sweet, like a Black Cherry flavor usually is, and there's only a very mild hint of the earthy tartness that also generally comes with the flavor. I… I kinda miss the punch.

PepsiCo (PEP) is rolling out a new drink called Kickstart this month that has Mountain Dew flavor but is made with 5 percent juice and Vitamins B and C, along with an extra jolt of caffeine. The company, based in Purchase, N.Y., is hoping to boost sales by reaching Mountain Dew fans at a new time of day: morning.

Bubbly, bright, and sweet, Mountain Dew is a beloved soda that has a near cult-like following. But this drink isn't just for sipping. It also makes for extra moist baked goods, tender cuts of meat, and fluffy cakes. Use its citrus flavor to amp up desserts, or add depth to savory dishes.

In 1974, orange flavoring was added to the Mountain Dew mix, along with that eye-popping green color we all know and love today; it's clear PepsiCo significantly helped elevate Mountain Dew into one of the most popular soda brands of all time.

Pitted fruits are edible and are eaten raw and used in wine and jelly. Black cherry fruits are important food for numerous species of passerine birds, game birds, and mammals, including the red fox, black bear, raccoon, opossum, squirrels, and rabbits.

Cherries are rich in antioxidants Some experts believe the darker the color of a fruit, the greater the antioxidant level, and with cherries' dark red color, they fall into this category; that dark hue comes from the high levels of anthocyanins they contain.

Kickstarter is one of a number of crowdfunding platforms for gathering money from the public, which circumvents traditional avenues of investment. Project creators choose a deadline and a minimum funding goal. If the goal is not met by the deadline, no funds are collected (a kind of assurance contract).
