| '''Dub the Dew''' was an online contest held by [[Mountain Dew]] in Fall 2012 to have the internet name their new apple drink. The poll was quickly discovered by [[4chan]] and, as always happens with online polls, completely and utterly ruined.

| |
| The whole thing started when an [[anon]] submitted the poll-trolling idea to [[b/|/b/]]. Their idea was to make Hitler Did Nothing Wrong #1. Then, anons started flooding the contest with other [[Cancer|funny]] names until all the top 15 were [[Copyright|"Made in 4chan"]] ideas; most of them being shitty variations of '"Gushing Granny."

| The site then got haxxored by [[Seems legit|le 9gag army]] who added a banner in the website that proclaimed: "Mnt Dew salutes the [[JEWS DID WTC|israeli Mossad for demolishing 3 towers on 9/11!]]." [[Jews]] and [[Mountain Dew]] got extremely butthurt with this and quickly [[Delete Fucking Everything|closed the contest]]. They admitted to [[Pwnd|losing]] against the internets.
