Still, despite all that consumerist bile, Mtn Dew hasn’t ruined everything quite yet, and as August turns to September, we can take in another chapter of one their finest new traditions. Jesus, I might even have to go sit down at an Applebee’s to get a new Dew flavor, which is a new brand of punishment I didn’t think they were capable of. Seven new flavors out of ten are released either to pathetically limited online sale, or prohibitively specific exclusives to stores or restaurants. There’s less concern with providing product to consumers than to make a WILD AND CRAZY FLAVOR OMG and let the reactionary normie internet community do the rest of the work for dirt cheap publicity. eBay was promptly flooded with new product listings of single cans sodas going for over double their face value, and 6 packs reaching into the three figures.

Within minutes of coming online for sale, the website slowed to a crawl and the limited release product was sold out.

This very week Mtn Dew released another one of their circus flavors, Flamin’ Hot, to online sale exclusively on their own internet store. All that said, far too much of what Mtn Dew has been up to caters only to the scalpers, or to the mind-bogglingly lucky. DewSA came back for the Olympics, and a couple of wide release flavors have turned heads with some fresh ideas. Sure, the mainstay sodas are still great, and the new flavors that they keep grinding out are impressive.

Although people generally point to this flavor as the first Mountain Dew flavor available exclusively at a retail store, this is actually the second flavor with that status, with the first being the Walmart-exclusive 2011 re-release of Typhoon during Back by Popular DEWmand.

Both have a similar ring in their names, although this is likely just a coincidence.

Maui Burst has a very similar name to Baja Blast, Taco Bell's Franchise Exclusive flavor which initially released in 2004.

This flavor was leaked long before its release on the Dew Drinker Discord.

Maui Burst was released in 20-ounce bottles in March 2022, replacing the 16-ounce cans. On February 24th, 2022, in a Facebook post, a photo of Maui Burst in 20-ounce bottles in a Pepsi warehouse was posted. On September 11th, 2021, a 20-ounce render was discovered on the PepsiCo Product Info page, which hinted at a possible release. On January 14th, 2021, an anonymous PepsiCo employee mentioned a release of a 16.9-ounce bottle multipacks release which a couple of months later released in March 2021. However, it was put on hold until December 2nd, 2022, on the Dew Drinker Discord, where Maui Burst was released in 12-packs on April 10th, 2023. On October 5th, 2020, renders for 12 packs of Maui Burst were found hinting at a possible 12-pack release.

On February 1st, 2020, Maui Burst was re-released by popular demand to most Dollar General stores as a permanent flavor and sold in the same 16-ounce can size. It remained in Dollar General stores until November 2019. Maui Burst was officially released in Dollar General stores in the United States on October 16th, 2019, for a limited time, only in 16-ounce cans. On August 21st, 2019, on the Dew Drinker Discord, Maui Burst was first leaked by a trustworthy PepsiCo employee by posting an image of a prototype 24-ounce design before being reverted to the 16-ounce can with a limited-time release of an October 16th release date. Its tagline is ' DEW with a Blast of Pineapple Flavor with Other Natural Flavors.' History 2019 Limited-Time release While Maui Burst tends to shift to a more natural Pineapple flavor, Baja Gold tends to lean toward the more artificial Pineapple flavor. Maui Burst is a Pineapple flavor of Mountain Dew and has a yellow look, having a comparable tasting flavor and color to that of both Flavor 286 and Baja Gold.
