Color-changing ink on Mountain Dew can reveals 'Dark Knight'

A new larger, 16-oz can for Mountain Dew is available for a limited time that uses color-changing ink that turns a bat image from grey to green when the can is chilled.

When can is chilled, the image of a bat appears in Mountain Dew green.

As record summer temperatures and severe drought conditions fan across America, PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew is aiming to quench the thirst of consumers with a new can that is one-third larger than their traditional 12-oz offering. And to help capture consumers’ attention, the can features color-changing artwork aimed at the brand’s target audience nationwide. The limited-edition 16-oz can of Mountain Dew, when chilled to 46.4° F, features an easily recognizable symbol—a bat outline, promoting the feature film The Dark Knight Rises—that transforms itself to the distinctive green color of Mountain Dew, using specialized inks from Chromatic Technologies, Inc.
