Splitting the Promotions section to its own page or Reworking to shorter Marketing Section
editIt might be worth splitting the "Promotions" section into its own article or reworking it into a much briefer Marketing section to better align with other soft drink pages such as Sprite (drink), Coca-Cola, and Pepsi Currently the promotions page is the majority of the page and does not seem to add much to the article (ReshenKusaga (talk) 01:02, 9 July 2022 (UTC)).
- Most of that content belongs on a fan wiki. Various advertising campaigns are not of general interest, and are not required to understand the subject. Its mere trivia. Malibu Sapphire (talk) 22:07, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Edit request
editThe following needs changing: 'A similarly named but different-tasting product, with a recipe more similar to the original American product[8] has been sold in the U.K. under the name "Mountain Dew Energy" since 2010 and in Ireland since the spring of 2011.' This because U.K. is incorrect. It should be UK. Would someone with editing access change it? Thanks. 2003:D3:FF45:E1A6:2F26:F249:6D47:3D13 (talk) 04:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Earliest Origin of Name
editI found a reference to "Mountain Dew" that dates further back than the song in the "Origin" section. The clipping is on the Virginia Chronicle in the Winchester Gazette, August 3, 1822 Page 4, Column 1 "After the nuptial knot has been tied, and ample libations of the mountain dew distributed to a numerous party assembled on the occasion, two Hibernians (former lovers of the bride) being doubly inspired by the enlivened spirit, determined, in their frolicsome bumour, to disappoint the bridegroom, for one night at least, or the company of his dear Judy, and proceeded forthwith to lay violent hands upon her. https://virginiachronicle.com/?a=d&d=WG18220803.1.4 LewisMoten (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Logos
editi think the logo in the infobox should be both the us shortened and the international expanded logo, similar to the 7up article, due to it being the concurrent logo in the united states since 2009; the bottle image can remain though Zeebeethedog (talk) 16:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
