When Hard Mountain Dew was first announced, it received mixed reviews on social media.

“Mountain Dew Hard Seltzer trying to pretend it’s not Four Loko like,” one joked.

“Four Loko is how you made your kids. Hard Mountain Dew is how you lose custody,” another said.

One user also joked about the ingredients of the new drink, writing: “I better not catch y’all drinkin that hard Mountain Dew they cookin up. Y’all bout to grow gills fr.”

RECOMMENDED STORIES

A fourth quipped: “Some of y’all are gonna not get the vaccine because ‘you don’t know what’s in it’ but still drink Hard Mountain Dew.”

The mixed reviews ultimately didn’t bother the company, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, in January 2022 to write, “Don’t worry. We didn’t forget,” alongside an image of the black and teal Baja Blast can.
