Mountain Dew 2011

Mountain Dew (currently stylized as Mtn Dew) is a citrus-flavored carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in the 1940s by two Tennessee beverage bottlers, Barney and Ally Hartman, and was first marketed in Marion, VA, Knoxville and Johnson City, Tennessee. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. The Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired by the Pepsi-Cola company in 1964, at which point its distribution expanded more widely across the United States.
Between the 1940s and 1980s, Mountain Dew consisted of a single citrus-flavored version. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988, followed by Mountain Dew Red which was introduced - and discontinued - in 1988. While Mountain Dew Red was short-lived, it represented the beginning of a long-term trend of Mountain Dew being produced in different flavor variations. This product line extension trend has continued in the 2000s, with expansion into specialty, limited time production, and retailer-specific (Taco Bell, 7-Eleven) variations of Mountain Dew.
Production was first extended to the UK in 1996, though this initial debut was short-lived as it was phased out in 1998. The product returned to the UK under the name "Mountain Dew Energy" in 2010 and returned to the Republic of Ireland in Spring 2011. As of 2009, Mountain Dew represented a 6.7 percent share of the overall carbonated soft drinks market in the U.S. Its competition includes Vault, Mello Yello, and Sun Drop; Mountain Dew accounts for eighty percent of citrus soft drinks sold within the U.S.

Coke Zero is Coca-Cola’s biggest product launch in more than two decades. Coke Zero is about giving consumers a choice – the Coca-Cola taste they love, with or without sugar.
Coke Zero is a celebration of things that go beyond the limits of convention. It is all about breaking the constraints of the ordinary. Whatever you are in to, whether it is sports, music or the techie stuff, so long as “run-of-the-mill” is not within your vocabulary, then you are an embodiment of Coke Zero.
It’s the Filipinos’ turn to get zeroed by this hippest and newest addition to the Coca-Cola trademark.

Coke Regular Japan 2011

When my friend, Jepoy, went to Japan, he saw some amazing and interesting things there, including the smallest Coke in can he probably had ever seen. It’s 160ml (or 5.4 ounces), it cost 53 Yen, and it came in a heavy duty can. Speaking of cans, a lot of canned drinks here in Japan are pretty strong. I just wish he brought home all the varieties but hey these are good enough. Thanks for the cans, I've added some great ones from the land of the rising sun, Japan.
