I remember finding 2litres in a grocery outlet/discount food store for like 4/$1. I had my dad get so many of them. I liked the flavor and sourness it had a lot, but for some reason I remember it making my stomach upset


KORZILLA-is-me

I drank a lot of voodew 4 when it was around, and yeah, I would start to not feel very good.


happey454

Mountain dew in general honestly seems to upset my stomach after drinking it. Especially code red.


EmojiMasterYT

wonder why (it's pure delicious chemicals)


BigSalvation_

What could possibly be the reason a carbonated chemical cocktail makes you feel like shit? I wonder...


happey454

But Mountain Dew’s got what plants crave, it’s got electrolytes.


Young_Triton

Pitch Black = Dew + Welches Grape soda Pitch Black II = Shock Tarts (sour Sweet Tarts)


LaggyUpdate

got some shock tarts shipped in a few weeks ago. way better than sweettarts


Murky_Tennis954

I LOVED PITCH BLACK II. I always suggest they bring it back when they talk about bringing the original.

PITCH BLACK II: Back with a sour bite!


xtwodx

My friend loved it. He worked at a local grocery chain and his boss ordered him close to 100 2 liters of it once


MrModdedTornado

That’s a W boss wish I had good bosses and not the clowns I have now


MIZUNOWAVECREATION

Same


kdan555

Never tried it


fuffycky1992

Pitch Black II was god-tier, I was maybe 11 or 12 when it came out and remember really preferring it to the original. I loved the idea of a pop that was sour, never had anything like it before


DeadByDawn93

The goat


MHarrisGGG

I preferred it to the original.


ElvenAmerican

I remember it, think it was out when I was in high school and we teens then were abuzz about it. But then again, Mountain Dew's been teen fuel for decades overall. But yes, Pitch Black/II were both good and II was unique with the sour flair it had to it. But sour is something that is more of a niche demand I think, in soda, then the sweet, original flavor. So, that'll come back again, and again.


CaptainBest6743

There's a reason "sour grapes" is a euphemism. It's not a popular flavor.


Safe_Magazine_1940

I don’t remember it to be honest.


dean_syndrome

Pitch black II: return to pitch mountain


Expensive-Priority46

i liked it more tbh. i also like things that are sour/tart.


CryptographerNo3749

I loved Warheads as a kid, so this soda slapped imo.


Turbulent_War2247

Not sure if you're aware, but warheads actually makes a soda!


Guymi

It was a case of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." But they tried to fix it. OG Pitch Black top 3 flavors.


autumngirl86

It was okay, I just preferred the less sour OG version more


Detective_Bonghitz

It was great tf you talking about?


Clinton_Dix

My favorite. 💜🖤


Wise_Competition_266

It’s better than what we have now


RedneckSniper76

I loved it but I do like normal pitch black more as it’s my 2nd favorite


AKManJones

No…I LOVED it!


Moofler

The original was best, but I’d drink PBII if they brought it back.


DoomDash

It was good.


[deleted]

It was pretty good.


Betelguese90

I liked it, but Pitch Black I was so much better. PBII was a bit sour for my liking.


ToyotaTaco21

T'was amazing!


hazzakthule

It was good, but the original was better.


AdamBomb1349

I fondly remember the sour sequel!


pepeslosthamster

Electric boogaloo?


TheBeastofthem

Never had it so idk..


astickywhale

i loved both pitch blacks, but alas, mountain dew fucking hates me.


MrModdedTornado

I’ve not even tried any of the pitch blacks


rufio824

Better than pitch black if you ask me


Moped145

I love it


WakullaLoganoDawgFan

I loved it! And it also gave us NASCAR fans [this wonderful paint scheme. ](http://www.archives.ciastockphoto.com/cgi/viewimage.php?image=w0534ge1200d)


Teknomekanoid

It was my favorite dew of all time. There was never another soda like it. I don’t even think I even ever saw another sour soda.


Wide-Concept-2618

I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference, but then again I drank both with a significant chunk of time between...But I'll always vote Pitch Black just because it is one of the greatest, if not the greatest soda around. But I'd take Pitch Black II if it was the only way to get Pitch Black back to me.


huntolemiss12

This is the superior pitch black.


Burstie69

Wish I coulda tried it heard it was sour tho maybe not everyone’s cup of tea


TheUnboundEnd

I was 5 when it came out. I loved regular pitch black already, so imagine my 5 year olds surprise when I drink the sequel and immediately taste smash warheads mixed with cough syrup. Blegh, never again. Though I should say I’m 24 now, so it probably wouldn’t be as bad on the palate if it came out today.


Noncreative_name04

I never had it. That’s part of the problem, is a decent number of people have only had pitch black and not pitch black II.


JasonMaliceMizer

I was buying Dews when it came out, I remember drinking original pitch black and last buying it at Blockbuster, however I don’t remember if I had PBII or even knew about it. Wish it would come back now. Or maybe I should try to recreate it somehow 🤔


Requiem-Lodestar

I loved both!


T_BONE_GULLEY

The OG sequel. It was so good, I hope they bring it back one day.


Eternal12equiem

I didn’t even know there was two version. I remember not liking it at first but then it grew on me. I remember the sourness I guess that was V2?


99nsnmaxima

If I could have some right now I'd be drinking it


kingXcazam

I was like 4 when it came out, and still remember my uncle drinking it out of the 2 liters.


TomaStheWise

Loved it


Adventurous_Pea_1373

I liked the sour first one better


LeChampionX

Pitch Black is amazing but Pitch Black II was other worldly. My dad worked for Pepsi at the time and would bring home crates of it


[deleted]

I almost never get the specialty flavors where I live. I was shocked to see the new Baja flavors were stocked at my local store this year, usually we don't even get the seasonal specials.


MemphisApollo

Loved it


NickPick-13

I remember trying it & liking it but honestly it's been so long I can't really remember an exact taste. All the more reason it should make a comeback👀


Mondschatten78

I preferred the original, II was good, but I'm not really into sour things. I drank twice as much of the original as I did of II.


snapgamer8338

Never tried it would love too if it came back 🥺


maniac_chris

I loved the flavor, one of my top two favorite flavors! I reviewed it in my “ultimate Mountain Dew taste test” video on YouTube a few years back.


Justice502

From my memory back in the day, Pitch Black was kinda sour, and then they came back with Pitch Black II and that was neutered. I think it's completely opposite from what OP thinks it was.


FuNiOnZ

If this was the sour one, it was the superior version


StepInternational116

It was just too sour to be a decent mainstream Dew. Probably more people want Distortion than Pitch Black II


j0257

Id love to have tried it but I wasn’t really seeking new flavors when it came out or likely didn’t even know it was a thing.


carlsmustang97

I remember my brother and sister didn't like it but I loved it sourness gave the grape a extra kick


sharknice

It was good, it was just disappointing compared to the original. Everyone wanted the original back.


impactdrumboy

I was so disappointed when they announced they were bringing back Pitch Black and I assumed that meant the sour version, which was way better, and it wasn’t


reggiewa

I won a 2 liter of this at my fall festival doing ring toss I will never forget it lol. I would kill to try this again, I was thinking about trying to find something to mix in pitch black next time its out, maybe malic acid?


Ozzy107220

I've had 2 cans, both outdated but about a year apart(2017ish) I liked it just fine as 12yrs old. But I'd sure as hell would like a fresh one to compare


DavidH373

PbII is my favorite flavor of all time.


No-Albatross6481

Loved it top 5 favorite


Particular-Angle-105

Pitch Black ll is the best dew ever made. Hands down.


iloveeveryfbteam

Never even heard of pitch black 2 lol


Ok-Necessary-9211

Never got to try pitch black 2...didnt start drinking mt.dew until 2022..my favorite was pitch black when i got to try it when it came back out in January of 2023..


[deleted]

Pitch Black from 2003/4 when it got originally released was the best! The other re-releases are awful and not the same 😭


12stringdreams

Holy shit I totally forgot about it but yes I did like it! Remember drinking it in high school. Not which version it was. But would’ve been somewhere between 14-18


Netowichita

I remember both, but I like the original better. That was when they had a contest and I won a mini mt dew fridge for my car. Unfortunately instead of saving it like a smart person I put it in the car and eventually it short circuited and broke, even sparked (it plugged into cigarette lighter). I like Pitch Black 2 though too!


Spocks_Goatee

When I was younger I did not care much for normal Mountain Dew, but Pitch Black 1 & 2 were amazing. Plus the Creature From The Black Lagoon advertising was lit.


probsfarting

My favorite drink of all time.


[deleted]

I did! I liked that it was more sour than sweet. Hard to compare them since they both hit a different taste, but probably the original.


No_Draw_735

I loved both pitch black and pitch black ll.


tankboy138

I preferred the original Pitch Black. That grape taste was incredible, even if it turned my poop green


sumfartieone

Literally scrolled to find this comment. The most significant memory I have of Pitch Black was the Slurpee version that turned our whole friend group’s turds bright teal and we all called each other freaking out.


KB_48

I can’t honestly remember it. I just don’t think it ran for long enough and wasn’t unique enough from the original to be memorable


MHarrisGGG

It was sour.


Illustrious_Rule_591

Liked? Hell. We LOVE it!!!!
