Major grocery chain confirms that fan favorite drink has been discontinued - as fans call it a 'real shame'

A DRINK exclusively sold in one grocery chain has been discontinued to the disappointment of its loyal fans.

Last year, Food Lion tweeted that their exclusive drink Mountain Dew flavor, Uproar, was not going anywhere, only for another tweet to surface last night confirming why it can no longer be found on shelves.

Team Supernova (@TeamSupernovaFB) is a Twitter account dedicated solely to Mountain Dew fans.

A couple of weeks ago the account made a tweet specifically for Food Lion, mentioning the rumors that their exclusive flavor, uproar, was going to be discontinued.

"Good afternoon @FoodLion, I am once again hearing people spread rumors that @MountainDew Uproar has been discontinued. Are you able to confirm whether this is true or if it remains a permanent exclusive flavor at your locations? Thank you," the tweet read.

Food Lion had not responded despite following up a week after the initial tweet.

Speculation amongst fans had continued to grow until last night's tweet.

"It’s never a good day when a flavor gets the axe and unfortunately, today is one of those days," the tweet read.

"A representative from Food Lion has confirmed that Mountain Dew Uproar has been officially discontinued."

Food Lion has not made any tweets about the announcement or interacted with Team Supernova's tweet.

However, fans of the drink have been disheartened by the news.

"We’d been speculating this for a little bit over on the Dew Drinker Discord but it’s a real shame to have it confirmed by a Food Lion rep," a Reddit user posted regarding the announcement. "Uproar, you will be missed."

"It was so gooood! I’m so sad to see it go," tweeted another fan.

While some used this news to mourn, others used the opportunity to preserve their last remaining bottles.

"Saving a bottle for the end of the year, sometimes I look at my empty can of typhoon and get sad because that's gone too," one tweet read.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Food Lion for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
