## About <!--about-->
Mountain Dew LiveWire 1.5 l is the New Zealand large bottle of LiveWire, the orange-flavoured member of PepsiCo's Mountain Dew line, which Wikipedia lists as sold in the United States, New Zealand and Malaysia.[^wikilw] New World sells it under this barcode as "Live Wire Soft Drink", a 1500 ml bottle described as "charged with orange flavour", with 200 kJ and 12.4 g of sugars per 100 ml.[^nw] A New Zealand retailer states that it is manufactured in New Zealand from local and imported ingredients.[^veggie] PepsiCo's drinks have been bottled in New Zealand under franchise by Frucor Beverages since 1999, the company now called Suntory Oceania.[^scoop][^wikiso]
LiveWire began in the United States in 2003 as a summer flavour and became a permanent part of the Mountain Dew range in 2005.[^wikilw] Frucor took over the New Zealand bottling rights for Pepsi, 7UP and Mountain Dew from Pepsi-Cola Bottlers New Zealand, a joint venture of Lion Nathan and Pepsi-Cola International, and in 2022 Frucor Suntory moved PepsiCo's New Zealand 600 ml range, Mountain Dew included, to fully recycled plastic bottles.[^scoop][^fmcg]
