Another flavor, Diet Ultra Violet, returned from its own limited release in 2009. The remaining competitor was a brand-new Diet flavor created specifically for the promotion - Flare (berry/citrus-flavored). Each of the eight flavors was available for tasting at specific tour locations, and special cans were also mailed to some Dew Labs members. Also similar to the DEWmocracy campaign, those who taste-tested the Diet flavors were asked to go online and vote for which flavors they thought should be permanently sold in stores. After the first round of voting was completed, two flavor finalists were chosen to receive a limited release to store shelves for a final round of voting. Diet Voltage and Diet SuperNova were sold in stores for an eight-week period beginning in March 2011. After votes were cast, it was announced that Diet SuperNova had won, with 55% of all votes, and it returned in January 2012. Afterwards, it was removed from shelves permanently after a 12-week release due to low sales. ===Back by Popular DEWmand=== On 7 January 2011, Mountain Dew posted on their Facebook that Pitch Black would return to the shelves in May 2011, also stating that this may be the start of many re-releases of old favorites.<ref>{{cite web|title=News: Mountain Dew Pitch Black is "Back By Popular DEW-mand" in 2011|url=http://www.bevreview.com/2011/01/07/mountain-dew-pitch-black-is-back-by-popular-dew-mand-in-2011/|access-date=29 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314092555/http://www.bevreview.com/2011/01/07/mountain-dew-pitch-black-is-back-by-popular-dew-mand-in-2011/|archive-date=14 March 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The company promoted Pitch Black's return heavily with giveaways and contests. About a month before the planned release date, a photo was posted on a Mountain Dew worker's Pongr, which showed Pitch Black and 2008's Supernova. Two weeks before the release, Dew Labs announced the return of 2010's Typhoon in 2-liter bottles exclusively at [[Walmart|Walmart Supercenters]]. The three flavors were re-released to stores on 2 May. At the same time of the DEWmand Promotion, Mountain Dew launched the Throwback Shack, a website where participators could enter to win exclusive Dew merchandise, including a "secret stash" of Mountain Dew Revolution, a losing competitor from 2008's DEWmocracy. The promotional advertisements were then taken down from the Mountain Dew website. Mountain Dew later stated via tweet that there would not be any more flavors returning 'by Popular DEWmand' for now, as it was only intended to be a summer program. ===Dub the Dew=== In August 2012, Villa Enterprises held a promotion known as ''Dub the Dew'', where users were asked to submit and vote on name ideas for a green apple flavor of Mountain Dew. The promotion was infamously hijacked by users, particularly those originating from the [[imageboard]] and [[4chan]], who submitted and upvoted entries such as "[[Hitler did nothing wrong]]", "[[Diabeetus]]", "[[Fapped|Fapple]]", "[[Bill Cosby]] Sweat", "Jimmie Rustle's Jumpin' Juice", and numerous variations of "Gushing Granny".<ref>{{Cite magazine | url=https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/08/14/mountain-dews-dub-the-dew-online-poll-goes-horribly-wrong/ |title = Mountain Dew's 'Dub the Dew' Online Poll Goes Horribly Wrong|magazine = Time|last1 = Rosenfeld|first1 = Everett}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/4chan-mountain-dew_n_1773076 | title=HuffPost is now a part of Verizon Media| date=13 August 2012}}</ref> Although the promotion was not directly connected to Mountain Dew, a representative from the company did offer to "help clean up" the site.

The promotion has garnered a wide amount of media coverage, both positive and negative. According to iSpot.tv, the spot was rated #1 of all the Super Bowl commercials of the night, having generated 2.2 million online views and 300,000 social media interactions after airing.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=Troy|title='Puppymonkeybaby' wins Super Bowl 50 commercial race|url=http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/02/puppymonkeybaby_wins_super_bow.html|access-date=8 February 2016|publisher=Cleveland.com|date=8 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208180642/http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/02/puppymonkeybaby_wins_super_bow.html|archive-date=8 February 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> The ad features a computer-generated mash-up of three things that the public generally finds to be cute or harmless; a Pug puppy (the head), a monkey (the body and tail), and a dancing baby (the hips and legs). The puppy monkey baby dances with three men who are presumably watching the Super Bowl, offering them Mountain Dew Kickstart, which is similarly described as being a combination of three things (Mountain Dew, juice, and caffeine). The media response to the advertisement was mixed to negative.
