Diet Mountain Dew

For the song by Lana Del Rey, see Born to Die.

Diet Mountain Dew is a no-calorie Mountain Dew that was first introduced in 1986.^[1] It was formerly known as "Sugar-Free Mountain Dew" until 1986, when it was given its current name. In 2006 Diet Mountain Dew was reformulated with a new "Tuned Up Taste", using a blend of sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium as sweeteners. The previous formulation was sweetened exclusively with aspartame.^[2]
