The sour black grape Mountain Dew was a ten-week US limited-time offer in the autumn of 2005. Identity was settled before writing: the Open Food Facts and USDA records the lookup flagged as a `conflict` in fact name the same product (MOUNTAIN DEW, PITCH BLACK II, grape soda, brand owner Pepsi-Cola North America Inc.), and OFF's record is a mirror of the USDA/Label Insight one, so the two are one line of evidence, not corroboration. Sources: the USDA Branded Foods record fdc_id 1627721 (ingredient statement, per-100 ml nutrition, brand owner, US market); its Open Food Facts mirror; the Pepsi-Cola North America launch announcement of 24 August 2005 (Purchase, N.Y.) as reproduced in full on brinksmarket.com, which gives the launch date, the ten-week window, the tagline "The black is back with a sour bite" and the pack formats (20-ounce bottles, two-litre bottles, 12-packs of 12-ounce cans); Wikipedia's *List of Mountain Dew flavors and varieties* for the sequel-to-Pitch-Black history and the fact that it never returned; and the archived 2007 Barcodepedia entry for this barcode, cited for identity only and giving the container as a 20 oz bottle. No stubs were created: brand/mountain-dew, company/pepsi-cola-north-america and all thirteen ingredient entities (including ingredient/allura-red-ac for "RED 40" and ingredient/brilliant-blue-fcf for "BLUE 1") already exist. `gs1_prefix_owner` targets company/pepsi-cola-north-america, which already states prefix 012000 in `gs1_prefixes`. Deliberately not asserted: no `country_of_origin` (no source); no Canada market row (Pepsi-Cola North America covered Canada, but nothing evidences sale there); no family (no source names a Pitch Black product line this pack belongs to); no `successor_of` edge to the 2004 Pitch Black (no page for its barcode). The nutrition panel is USDA's per-100 ml normalisation, marked `method: normalized`, not a reading of the printed 8 fl oz column - no pack photograph exists anywhere I could find, and Open Food Facts has none. The OFF-computed 192 kJ was rejected as kcal x 4.184. The USDA record's dates (version 2021-03-19, modified 2017-06-25) postdate the 2005 sales window, so the ingredient statement is recorded as an observation that cannot be tied to a dated label revision; that, the unphotographed panel, the unverified 20 fl oz content and the missing image are all in Research gaps. `net_content` is written as `20 fl_oz`: both the announcement ("20-ounce bottles") and the old Barcodepedia entry ("20 oz bottle") name the format, and no metric figure is printed in any source, so no conversion was invented. |
