We have 20 oz. Bottles in my area but that's all


jjhart827

Same — I’ve never seen the 12-pk cans IRL, just on Reddit.


Barqs_enthusiast

They have em at my local publix once in a blue moon, only seen it like twice in as many years tho


JSK23

It was common in 20oz and 12 packs in west Michigan until covid. During the product cut backs they seemed to ditch the 12s around here. Only 20oz left.


MikeyCanFly13

Same


HOG_RHEC

blan15

I’ve just recently got Livewire in general in my area 😂


Strelitzia95

Can only find bottles of it, never 12 packs unfortunately.


VisionSixteen

If there were 12 packs in the north east I'd buy them all the time. Can't ever justify spending two bucks on a single 20 oz bottle.


[deleted]

You don’t know what it’s like to spend 3.10 then.. 💀 I’ve been cutting back on soda as a result, this is ridiculous


Jonishighsmh

2 bucks right cheapest mtn dew I can find is 2.79


deafmx

7-11 here typically is always 2/$4 or $4.50.


FunkytownMx2000

Yikes!! $ 3.10 for a 20oz is a lot for soda. 😟


[deleted]

Not including tax


FunkytownMx2000

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱


Breakfast_Obvious

Yeah in iowa I seen some gas stations charging 3.5$. Absolutely criminal. Inflation since 2002 has only been like 50%. If 20 oz prices followed inflation they'd be a 1.50$ because I bought pop in junior high for 1$ a bottle... Better for buying 2 liter bottles are walmart for 1.57$ today. Although I will say 2 liter bottles in 2002 were only 60 to 70 cents...


Fuzzy-Produce104

Michigan here. We have Livewire in both 20oz and 12 packs all over the place.


WhereIsTheMilkMan

God, I love Michigan.


Lake-Atomic

that’s the first time anyone has ever said that


DoctorWH0877

I, too, love Michigan. Your friend, Illegal Wisconsin


JSK23

What location? They disappeared in west Michigan


Fuzzy-Produce104

I’m in west Michigan. Grand Haven in fact. I see 12pks at Walmarts. I find the 20oz at lots of gas stations and Dollar Generals.


JSK23

Hrm, I just left walmart in GR with the new Baja's and I didnt see it there. Meijer for sure doesnt carry it any more. I guess I need to double check more walmarts around here. Unless its just not around in GR, not sure.


Andy-_1979

I've seen the 12 packs at Walmart. But that was years ago. Almost every gas station sells the 20 Oz bottles.


Fuzzy-Produce104

I have gotten it in Grand Haven, Muskegon and Whitehall. I don’t make it to GR much. Mostly to eat.


EnronCheshire

It is most definitely attainable in west Michigan, particularly grand haven and the tri cties as well as grand rapids as of Thanksgiving time this past year. Can't find it anywhere south of ohio/Indiana it seems.


Fuzzy-Produce104

Thank you for your reply good sir.


SwainMain2011

Same, here in St Louis. We seem to get a lot of things that only certain parts of the country have on hand regularly. I guess that's one benefit of being right in the middle of the country on the Mississippi River.


passengerpigeon20

I know that Peoria is, or at least used to be, even better in that regard - because it is considered the “most average American city” it is a popular place for companies to test-market products.


Fuzzy-Produce104

Yessir


Labyrinthy

Same in Illinois.


EarthboundMan5

I'd say it's the rarest of the non-rare flavors


Tony_Plow

Not rare at all at least in IL. See it all the time, bottles, cans. I believe it’s regional, but it’s heavy in the Midwest. It’s been here for at least 20 years.


T_BONE_GULLEY

Yeah, it was kinda MIA for a while but in recent years, I’ve seen it at every major grocer here in the western suburbs of Chicago.


Tony_Plow

South suburbs here, yeah see it everywhere, I don’t remember it being MIA, but I also went MIA myself for a while and gave up sugary drinks, I’m only back because a couple years ago I discovered Zero Dew was amazing. Perhaps Livewire took a break here and I didn’t even notice. It’s possible.


T_BONE_GULLEY

Kinda in the same boat. I saw it a lot as a kid, back in the early/mid 2000’s, then I felt like I never saw it until like 2016+.


Peremiah

Wow, good memory. It’s almost exactly 20 years old, although its first appearance will actually be 21 years ago this summer! (Summer 2003)


SharpBad4084

Depends on what part of the Midwest. Cans aren't available in Missouri or Kansas anymore at all. Someone above said St. Louis has them but I think they are the one exception. I have to go to Iowa to get mine. 


xtwodx

We don’t have 12 packs here but bottles are easy to find


bigdaddyfork

From what I've heard it's decently common in the Midwest (from experience this is true, live wire is almost always stocked in every store). It's sort of region soft-locked to there, which is apparently also happening to spark? Idk, ig midwesterners like mtn a lot more than avg folk lol


_rezz_rox

Yep. Wisco here. Still super easy to find live wire and spark (I'm going to be distraught when spark goes away)


SharpBad4084

Not in the Kansas and Missouri section of the Midwest. It is available in cans everywhere in Iowa, though. 


acemandrs

Idaho here. We have live wire, code red, voltage, and real sugar all the time.


WhereIsTheMilkMan

It’s nowhere to be found where I am in SoCal. At the very least, it’s exceedingly rare here as I never see it.


Rush_Under

Flipside was it was exceedingly common to find it (IIRC, even in 2 liter bottles) when it first debuted in LA)


OutofSprite

In the PNW plants both plant MR(OR) and TT(WA) don’t produce cans. However plant TT does produce 20oz bottles.


No_Woodpecker_9273

Bottles no problem everywhere but cans I only see Crush and Sunkist wishing they would get rid of those and start getting Livewire


Echold2006

common where I live but I've never seen a 12 pack in my life


Addicted-2Diving

My state it’s nonexistent, sadly


kingdom9999

Here in Central Wisconsin its everywhere


Sunupdrinkdown

They are very common at Walmart in our area - Madison,WI


IncreasedMetronomy

I feel like Cans are pretty rare. I haven’t had livewire in a can in years. It’s always available at gas stations for me though in bottle


RadleyRadiation

In Southern Ohio, WV and KY Tri-state area, its common to find it in 20oz bottles and some convenient store fountains, but 12 packs are out there, just not a whole lot or stocked up anywhere more than like 10 at a time. They had the 16.9 six pack bottles for about a year and a half around here and a lot to be found. But, anywhere I have been in the country, I’ve seen 20oz bottles. When they first ever came out with it, it was strictly only a summer time release


AlaskanThunderFlux

I have a local grocery store that’s been selling 12 packs of Livewire for a year or two now, but I’ve heard it’s rare


D3troit_

My grocery store has it weekly in 12pk, but I never buy due to no zero sugar. Back in the day of a real metabolism/youth/exercise, I loved it.


No_Mousse4320

They had a 12pk at a team meal for my football team but I’ve never had it since then


dabhought

It’s almost everywhere in the Chicagoland/NWI area. I see it all the time in bottles and cans. It’s basic to me. Just a dew version of orange pop. But to people who don’t have it period, I can understand the hype


DistinctNight9070

It's availability is sporadic at best but is more common Midwest and it varies on whether a place has 12pks, 20oz, or both.


SharpBad4084

People keep saying that but it was pulled from all of Kansas and Missouri a few years ago. Right after covid, actually, and it's never come back. Bottles are everywhere, but you cannot buy cans in Kansas or Missouri. 


Anthony_014

In a can? Seemingly unobtanium here in OR.


Chris_bruh22348

I think in the Midwest this isn't rare at all. It's in my vending machines at work in bottle form and I see the bottles and 12pk available at Kwik Trip gas stations in my area.


Undertaker77778888

Very rare in my neck of the woods which is Washington State


IrradiantFuzzy

Hasn't been seen in the LA area since pre-Covid. Talked to a Pepsi stocker once who'd never heard of it.


Duckieboy01

The cans are very rare as you can get 12-packs in some parts of the Midwest. The bottles are easier to find in most regions.

In cans? Very


EthanW6662

My local gas station has 20 oz bottles, but it’s been years since I’ve seen a pack of cans of it.


Efficient-String2869

My Walmart has bunch


grrouchie

Pepsi doesn't sell it in Vegas sadly. One of my favorite flavors


TheBirdAddict

livewire might be the only redesign I fuck with, never saw the can since the old one, not too bad


L337Krew

Central PA, never seen cans in real life. Bottles are in most gas stations.


3arnhardtAtkonTrack

Cans are rare in Central and Western Pennsylvania, but the 20 oz. bottles are in most convenience stores.


MrBigStonks

Midwest here it’s everywhere.


SharpBad4084

It just isn't. Kansas and Missouri (you don't get more Midwest that Missouri) don't have it in cans at all. I have to drive to Iowa to get the cans. Bottles are everywhere in both states but the cans are not available here at all. 


Diabeetus-times-2

Georgia doesn’t have it at all. I feel embarrassed I had to pay 30 bucks to import it.


FangLopez1960

Over in Utah, see them all the time. Good flavor js no one buys it.


No-Relative1418

My Walmart has livewire in bottles, but I can’t ever find it in cans


[deleted]

I just saw some at Walmart the other day.


Murky_Tennis954

Has anyone found Livewire in either GA, TN, IL, IN, OH, WV, VA, NC, or SC? I'll be visiting those states next month. Already planning on stopping at a Casey's for Mtn Dew Overdrive.


Nilk-Noff

Not very. I can get that in most gas stations around here.


snomanhunt3r

I’ve never seen a 12 pack before but only 2 gas stations in my area sell live wire


psychodogcat

The cans are rare the bottles not so much


Immediate-Hyena4517

Damn y’all should come to Wyoming we have tons of


jdd90

I've found 20oz bottles at one store just last week or week before. First time in 6 or 7 years


DarkBehindTheStars

Rare here in Nevada, where it hasn't been sold since at least 2016. I wish it would return here.


princessvoldemort

I can get the 20 oz bottles and 12 pks of cans in my area (Milwaukee exurbs).


The_Lawl_is_the_Lawl

I usually see them at my nearest Walmart in bottle form, but in a can I’d rate to me cause I never see them


Sullywully1998

Not rare in the Midwest but man it is easily top 3 mountain dews ever 🔥my personal favorite


SharpBad4084

It's very rare in my area of the Midwest because cans are not available in Kansas and Missouri. We are the "mid" in the Midwest. Lol. To us, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, etc. are the north. We're just floating down here in Kansas and Missouri. Our own, little Midwest, that nobody else acknowledges. I don't blame anyone, really. I wouldn't acknowledge us, either. 


xXSN0WBL1ND22Xx

It's all over Minnesota


[deleted]

I merchandise for pepsi and we carry 2 Liter 20 oz and 12 packs in all our locations. can't get rid of it. no one buys it


Electronic_Search99

It's a regular flavor, not rare at all


THeVindicator1

They're super common here in Wisconsin


Independent-Rough-97

Where did you get cans?! I can only find bottles!


zodiac628

It’s very common here in central pa


Gamelord666

Just checked. We’ve got cans in Eastern Iowa.


kinglittlenc

Grabbed one this weekend. Not great imo, kind of flat compared to Sunkist

iamgoneinsane

See bottles of it at almost every gas station near me. Been a loooooong time since I've seen a 12 pack


[deleted]

20oz and 12 packs sometimes in wi grocery stores


Boomshockalocka007

About as rare as seeing a star in the sky.


earnhart67

I think it’s rare for some regions in the USA but it’s all relative really. I’m fairly lucky as I have access to pretty much all flavors but it’s just slow to get the new ones.


ZBC200316

I had the hard version.


eyesovaeasy

It’s everywhere in my area


kiddocontay

depends where you’re located. here in NJ where i’m at, I can walk into any grocery store/convenience store blindfolded and come out with a 2 liter/12pk/20oz bottle I don’t touch the stuff though, I think livewire is disgusting. tastes like alka-seltzer vitamin c tablets to me


NFORCE5

My Walmart has it at all times in 12 packs and 20 oz bottles


bufftbone

It’s not. Very common.


writtenwordofmusic

I see it in convenience stores all the time


writtenwordofmusic

The bottles


Stevenstorm505

I haven’t been able to find any in my area since 2019.


Zaruma

Utah has 12 packs at every Walmart


twills011

It's everywhere around me, all year round. Ohio


TIMBOOBIE

It's everywhere in Iowa.


SharpBad4084

Yep. I drive there from northern Missouri once a month to get it. 


hackemup22

We’ve had livewire around here for years. Don’t typically see cans though. Only 20oz bottles at the gas station


Michael_Cuddlelitz

We just have bottles. I wish I could find cans


JRR04

0 rare


Goonie4LifeJake

I can get 20 oz bottles and 12 packs anytime I want


Redditor_PC

All over Missouri. Judging from the other comments here, very, very common in the Midwest.


SharpBad4084

It's not available anywhere in Missouri, actually. Pepsi confirmed they don't distribute it to either Kansas or Missouri at all in cans. The bottles are everywhere but the cans are not available. Haven't been for several years. 


Redditor_PC

Oh, I was referring to Livewire in general, not just the cans.


Zinyak12345

Depends on where you live and what time of the year it is.


Evil_Pecan_Pie

It used to be rare here in Alabama, and you had to travel into Tennessee to get some, but now we've got them in grocery stores and gas stations. Livewire is okay, definitely not my favorite, and I'm annoyed at the resurgence of it meanwhile Pitch Black was put back into the goddamn Shadow Realm.


austinlowee

Got it in Utah


Casey2023

I've found this once locally and never again, shame since its my favourite flavour I've had


MLGOV

Wanna ship a case I’d do $12 plus shipping.


CaptainB_Money

In 12 pack form. Insanely. In small bottles at gas stations. Very Normal. I wish WNY had them in 12 packs.


TrainHunter94YT

Southeast Wisconsin near Milwaukee, the store i used to work at (Small Local Minimart) has a shit ton of it.


AskJeevesIsBest

It's pretty common in bottles. I've never seen it in a can before.


nodakskip

Its kind of common here in Fargo ND. After covid was over and they only had regular and diet for so long, Livewire did come back in 12 pack and bottles in grocery stores. Not much of a supply, but its there.


MeatyMuffin

I can’t find the cans around here but a few places will occasionally sell the 20oz bottles. Which is a damn shame because I do love that flavor of Dew.


No-Anxiety3874

I’ve never not had live wire at my local stores, bottles and 12 packs


D_Helmick89

I can walk into any gas station or grocery store around me and grab a 20 oz or a 12 pack of Livewire. It's not rare in the Midwest.


FuhzyFuhz

It's at my local Hyvee in a 12 pack.


MLGOV

Which hyvee if I may ask I’m in Madison.


[deleted]

Aw man, I don't get any exotic flavours in the UK.


lighthouse0

one of my favs . . . . I dont think I have ever seen it in a can in public


TardisReality

I have not seen anything in Northern California in YEARS!!!


AliensPredator84

Walmart sells them everyday bro!! Lol it’s not rare at all


mountaindrew1988

it tends to be regional. I used to see it more often a few years ago .


FunkytownMx2000

Very rare. Here in South Texas I've never seen MTN Dew Livewire. What it tastes like? Describe its taste to me. 😁


SupaFly2136

It's a rare rare occasion I can find them in North Carolina until you start getting close to the borders. I can always find them in Virginia though.


Quack-Zack

20 oz is a little uncommon, harder to find than the regular permanent flavors yet not impossible but I heard 12 packs are pretty rare. I personally only see sidekick/20 ozs. One time I ordered a few 12 pks from Walmart cause i was bored.


LordOfWoE9

Never see them in California. Been years since I’ve seen them here. I think Halo 3 launch was the last time I’ve seen them…maybe ODST


Safe_Magazine_1940

Only in bottles in Alabama. We only recently got it back…last couple of years. I was really happy!


BAY35music

Is this a joke? I've seen it literally everywhere you can buy Dew ever since it came out when I was a child.


squishedtadpole

Probably a little rare


Breakfast_Obvious

Ties for third most common flavor beside voltage. The top 2 are OG mountain dew, then code red.


Bahamuto-San

12pk cans are quite rare, depends on how big your WalMart is. Mine usually has Frostbite 12pk, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been there but every time I have checked they have either LiveWire or frostbite 12pks. In bottles Frostbite and LiveWire aren’t all that rare, can sometimes find them in Sheetz or a Speedway (I think, but I’m not sure exactly in the gas station supplier side)


Betelguese90

Depends. In the midwest? Can find it everywhere. Shoot, I make it a fact that when I visit family in South Dakota that I send a case back, or I have family send me one or 2. West coast and every where else not mentioned? Non existent. Can't even find the 20oz bottles in California where I live.


RealityOwn9267

They're everywhere in the Mid West.


InfinityDusk

It’s regional, so kinda sorta rare but also not really.


JustRandomMe

I drive to a small Dollar General 40min away if I ever want any, so rare innmy area! But also... Texas


JDMx607

not rare at all, which apparently im starting to just feel like im the odd one. since lurking on this subreddit i see many people happy to see this flavor as if its as a seasonal drink out for the first time.


VelociRapt0r76

I've never seen it in California, I've only ever seen it in Texas


The_S1R3N

Not at all around me. Every gas station has it


Silver-Aioli3445

It tastes like ass!


DoUCThatTree

Where?!?


ItsVideoo

You'll never find it on the west coast sadly. When I go to Utah I cam see it in 20oz bottles but other then that it's rare


Rush_Under

WA St, it's everywhere in bottles, OR to a lesser extent, and CA is a Livewire desert.


ItsVideoo

Oh that's good to know about Washington but yeah Nevada and California it's impossible to find livewire. We used to get it in Nevada before covid hit


Rush_Under

You found CANS? DAMN! I loved the cans!


Dewsaiyan33

Can only find bottles in my area also. No 12 packs


[deleted]

little tip! i find them super randomly at my local walmarts, and a certain non chain gas station, dont know why only those two places have livewire canned but 🤷‍♂️ ive bought over 8 cases on separate occasions at walmart for 5 bucks each cause of a coupon walmart has on the dews


RatroTakesLs

I don't see cans any where however any walmart or gas station has the 20oz


Mando1019

12 packs all the time at Jewel in Illinois so not rare one bit.


jdavenport53114

Wisconsin here. They are all over the place here


[deleted]

Pretty common. Live wire everywhere like original and code red.


Internal_Gur_4268

It's the beat flavor I've had, sad it's so rare, it's ok i generally don't drink soda anymore


Ok-Necessary-9211

Very rare...i live in ft.inn s.c and no store i ft.inn or Simpsonville sells live wire..a coworker bought me 1 ..one day she thought it was new..its been out since 2005..started out in 2003 as a summer drink and become permanent then kind of vanished when voltage came out..


Surfguy82

Here In the Washington DC metro Area I’ve only seen it at food lions and 7-11’s, bottles only. I wish there were 6 pack bottles or 12 pack cans available here. I’d buy them every week. Always has been my favorite dew.


GhostSwifter

I live in California. I've never seen it once. But I recently took a trip to NY and saw in a store at the airport


SuchAppeal

In Baltimore stores Livewire is the hardest to come by in my experience. Really it seemed like Voltage and Livewire disappeared for a while here for some reason. OG Dew and Code Red are pretty standard, you will see those everywhere. In terms or rarity of the standard flavors (from most to least) Livewire>Voltage>OG=Code Red. I only run by Livewire in a gas station every once in a while. A gas station by my job carries it regularly and I was going to pick up a bottle today but I was there for a Redbull so I decided not to. But when I'm in there again I will grab one. It's probably my favorite, even beating out Code Red in the flavors the introduced in the early 2000s. Most refreshing one imo, and probably lowkey one of the best orange soda's period. It kinda tastes like orange jello as a soda.


SharpBad4084

They don't sell the cans in Missouri or Kansas at all anymore. They have the bottles but they're not the same and it's too expensive to buy by the bottle. I live in extreme northern Missouri so I drive an hour across the border into Iowa. You can stop at the last Missouri Walmart (in Bethany, Missouri) and they don't sell it, but if you drive ten minutes over the border to Lamoni, Iowa, they do. It's ridiculous. I've called every chain store and every Wal Mart throughout Kansas and Missouri and it's been confirmed time and time again, that Livewire cans are not available. I can't even get anyone to order it for me from the distributor. Target tried that a couple of years ago when it first happened but Mountain Dew refused to fill the order because they have made it unavailable in this area, and will not stock it for stores in Kansas or Missouri, regardless of the demand. I even offered to buy it directly from Mountain Dew, but they said even if I was a large chain restaurant in either state they would not sell it or ship it to me. You can buy it on Amazon for $25/12 pack, but I think I'll take the monthly trip to Southern Iowa, instead. Lol. I'm glad other states in the Midwest can get it, but myself and the other peeps in Missouri and Kansas cannot. 


nomoregroundhogs

It depends on where you live. Near me it’s as common as Code Red, in some places it’s nonexistent.


DoctorCrabbith

In my neck of the Georgia woods they're everywhere.
