I have four bottles of the stuff in my fridge. 500 ml, I think. But I'm not in Korea.
I could e-mail them to you if you like. |

The Mountain Dew produced in Korea is just a litttle bit different than the stuff back home. Anyone that drank the stuff all through University can tell the difference.  |

A former addict of Mt Dew myself you can get it in most Family Mart's here and in plenty of vending machines around Seoul. Unfortunately I think they use a slightly different syrup or mixture in the Dew they sell here as it doesn't taste as good IMHO.
anyone else have that experience? |
I agree. I am a fellow Mt. Dew addict, and the only time I have liked it here was at one of the movie theatres that had it on tap. The stuff in the cans tastes like crap to me. |

I was a pretty avid Mountain Dew drinker in college(a case a week)
Rest assure, the formulas are NOT the same, but it will suffice. |

| I ordered some stuff off of nicedeli.com and when one of the products was sold out, they sent a few freebies (and gave me a credit for the missing item). One of the freebies was a can of the dew. I gave it to a soda-liking friend, who said it was the real thing. |

You rip on A&W and then try to defend Barq's???
That's like saying "How can you drink a terrible beer like Coor Lite?? I only drink Budweiser!
Gimme a Sprecher Root Beer though...boy do I miss that (along with real beer...) |

You must be from the Midwest, Wisconsin perhaps? Sprecher is my favorite root beer as well, but I don't think it has much of a reach beyond Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. I have my parents ship over a few bottles of Spreher every once-in-a-while. It's a real treat, but never lasts long in the fridge.
As for the Mt. Dew, it tastes a lot better now than it did back when I first came here (quite a while ago now). It had a really funny flavor back then, but now it's pretty comparable to the American version. |

OP, yes you can, in many places. However, with a little effort, you could even stay at home and get it without having to go anywhere. Why bother travelling to the other side of the world if it's going to be different?
That's sarcasm, for those who need explanation. Americans beware!!! |

No love for IBC here?

Anyway, I was just in the States for vacation and saw commercials for some kind of new Mtn. Dew Flavor--Whiteout or something. Anyone give that a try? |
