description Mountain Dew Code Red Overview
Mountain Dew Code Red is a cherry-flavored variation of Mountain Dew introduced in the United States in 2001 by PepsiCo. It retains the parent drink's carbonated, caffeinated citrus base while adding a pronounced cherry flavor and red coloring. Unlike many limited or rotating Mountain Dew releases, Code Red became a continuing product in the brand's American range and helped establish flavored extensions as a recurring part of the Mountain Dew line.
