Our Verdict
This goes live 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on 7/15/20 and is for the first 5,000 only. I imagine this will go extremely quickly so if you have a hunting or fishing license then I’d recommend having everything ready to go beforehand and doing it ASAP. I assume Mountain Dew will post this on one of their socials before this goes live to confirm it’s legitimate as I first saw this on SD.
Getting the crash report every time I submitted for past few days. They gave out all the money?
got the money via venmo!!!
Just received my $20 via Venmo.
Looks like I got in today. Got a confirmation email afterwards. Thanks for the heads up!
I got an approval email on the first offer! Thanks DoC… never would have known about it without you!
I don’t get it. Is hunter and fisherman a big demographic of Mountain Dew drinkers? Or is Mountain Dew trying to cultivate a customer base in that demographic? Like a redneck equivalent of Redbull sponsorship of extreme sports and ownership of sports teams? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Early on, the product and its promo iconography were rooted in the “hillybilly”/redneck demographic. Maybe they’ve come full circle? Google “Mountain Dew early ads” and you’ll see what I mean.
What do you think the name “Mountain Dew” is supposed to be referring?
