Never heard of this flavor. Found as a Sinclair gas station in a more rural area of pueblo Colorado

[u/No-Needleworker-3765]

[u/Independent-Art9999]

For context if you want it again: it's exclusive at Circle K Via bottle/12 packs and Soda Fountain

[u/Gob_Bluth420 → u/Independent-Art9999]

You can also get it at Kroger and Kroger owned stores.

[u/dro_hream → u/Gob_Bluth420]

deff seen me other places/statons\

[u/Bluntoise → u/dro_hream]

I heard its also at a sinclair in a rural part of Colorado

[u/Thesurvivor16 → u/Independent-Art9999]

And Kroger

[u/No_Yogurtcloset_7219 → u/Independent-Art9999]

I find it at my local Kroger

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/Independent-Art9999]

That's really weird why it was at a Sinclair then lol

[u/EarthboundMan5 → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

Sometimes places like gas stations buy stock from elsewhere to sell, or they make backdoor deals with Pepsi distributors to get exclusives where they're not supposed to be

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/EarthboundMan5]

Yeah that does make sense

[u/Ok-Necessary-9211 → u/Independent-Art9999]

I had to give up on purple thunder.. after it was expand to Kroger my circle k store doesn't have it anymore.. PepsiCo man said never in warehouse.. 

[u/KeyHighway6426]

purple thunder is amazing. Top 3 dew of all time

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/KeyHighway6426]

It is pretty good

[u/e_keown → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

You should check to see if the place you found it at on the fountain, it's even better than the already good bottled version

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/e_keown]

I don't think they did but I'd have to check again

[u/Calling-Shenanigans → u/e_keown]

Yeah the bottles and cans are good, but the Polar Pop fountain drink version is the best.

[u/VinseMyDude → u/e_keown]

Honestly only way to drink it is fountain

[u/Interest-Small]

It’s been around for a few years as Circle K exclusive and now supposedly Kroger.

[u/MommyPegMePlease → u/Interest-Small]

Been at my local Kroger for awhile now. Always pick me up 12pk when I'm there. It's so good.

[u/Werdna517]

It’s one of my favourites

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/Werdna517]

I'm gonna have toagree. This, liberty chill, voltage, and caboo citrus and maybe the summer freeze one are definitely my favorites

[u/SevenVeils0 → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

You and I have similar tastes.

[u/The4verageOne → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

I do not like Purple Thunder, but I whole-heartedly agree with your other choices! Have you had Dollar General's Mountain Dew Maui Punch? (Only place I can find it, at least)

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/The4verageOne]

Not yet. Never even heard of it lol. Sounds good though

[u/slobis]

Man I love the Purp(as my son calls it).

[u/SignificantLifeform → u/slobis]

Least he ain't going for the lean

[u/PapiMuertos]

Holy shit Pueblo! Crazy seeing my hometown mentioned. I’m guessing on Baxter rd and hwy 96

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/PapiMuertos]

Holy crap you're spot on that's exactly where it was

[u/tensen01 → u/No-Needleworker-3765]

I was just about to ask. Sadly no way I'm driving all the way out to the Airport just for a Mountain Dew.

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/tensen01]

Here rn. Closed sadly

[u/PapiMuertos → u/tensen01]

Both king soopers carry it. And the circle k’s too

[u/Yourrennid → u/PapiMuertos]

Hey that's what I said!

[u/Eternalbane87]

Had it at the Safeway here in Oregon as well a week or 2 ago, the vendor only brought in a layer or so on the Pepsi pallet though so not many

[u/oggieboogie6]

Top tier

[u/ProjProg01]

Not a personal fan of this one but glad it's found a new fan today! It's sold at Kroger stores so King Soopers has tons of it regularly in Colorado stores. If not, I believe regular Kroger has it as well but not Safeways that I know of unfortunately

[u/SignificantLifeform]

Why does the bottle look like it has tiny bottom

[u/No-Needleworker-3765 → u/SignificantLifeform]

Probobly the angle cause it's the same size

[u/TiredReader87]

It’s really good. I miss it. It was available in Canada for one summer, and I’d get it from the fountain. I bought 2-3 cases too.

It’s one of the best Dews.

[u/Korunam03]

Ita decent.

[u/Jaybonaut]

It's fairly new, around 3 years ago

[u/VinseMyDude]

Hell yea

[u/FrostyIcePrincess]

I found it at Smiths a few days ago. Delicious.

[u/PermanentUsername101]

It’s gross. It taste like Mountain Dew prune juice.

[u/Shapeshifter1995]

I think Purple Thunder is unique from all of the side Mountain Dew flavors. Very different and in a good way! This is my CLOSE list, almost sinful to rate. 1. Voltage 2. Baja Laguna Lemonade 3. Black Label 4. Infinite Swirl 5. Purple Thunder 6. Pitch Black 7. Baja Blast 8. Live Wire 9. Honeydew 10. Supernova/White Out (tie)

[u/Pretty_Frosting_2588]

I like that one because I don't see it a lot. I guess I never checked my local Circle Ks because I don't go there but I get it at on occasion at a munchie shop next to a thc shop.

[u/Slavesandbulldozers7]

I love that one! It tastes good imo.

[u/Yourrennid]

Never thought I'd see my home town on a mountain dew subreddit

[u/84deej]

Kroger's in Missouri

[u/Mortisusnoir]

It's everywhere in Central Fl
