The popular non-alcoholic beverage, owned by Pepsi Co., has launched a bottle marketing campaign for "US states", featuring a map of the nation, with each state displaying a different pattern.

The fun design, however, sparked anger in the northern states after the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was colored with the same green and white contours as Wisconsin, instead of red and black like the rest of Michigan.

On Twitter, residents of the Upper Peninsula called Mountain Dew for surveillance.
