Mountain Dew Apologizes to Michigan For Adding UP To Wisconsin In 'Dewnited States' Promotion
(CBS DETROIT) - Mountain Dew launched their "Dewnited States" promotion with a map of limited edition bottles for states, but there was a problem.
Mountain Dew included the Upper Peninsula with Wisconsin.
A UP Twitter account called out Mountain Dew and insisted on a correction or the company send a free case of the limited edition bottles to UP residents.
Dear @MountainDew,

I ???? AM ???? NOT ???? WISCONSIN ????
Fix this, or send a free case to all my residents. Your call.
Sincerely,

Mountain Dew's Twitter account responded apologizing to the UP account and residents.
"Help us fill this special edition label by telling us all of the things you love about the Upper Peninsula," Mountain Dew tweeted.
Hey, Upper Peninsula: we hear you, and we're sorry for misplacing you on our #DEWnited map. Give us a chance to right our wrong. Help us fill this special edition label by telling us all of the things you love about the Upper Peninsula (note to self: located in MICHIGAN) pic.twitter.com/cSzJQYc2tl
