Dub the Dew

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 Campaign

Mountain Dew's reaction

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

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