Mountain Dew Soda - Pack 12 fl oz • 12 x 12 fl oz

Mountain Dew in the 12-pack of 12 fl oz (355ml) cans is a high-energy, citrus-flavored soda known for its bold neon color and unique "charged" taste. Originally developed as a mixer, it has become a staple in the soft drink world for its high carbonation and distinct hit of caffeine.

Core Ingredients

The formula is designed to be refreshing with a sharp, sweet-tart balance:

• Carbonated Water: Provides the aggressive "fizz" that Mountain Dew is known for.

• High Fructose Corn Syrup: The primary sweetener that delivers its heavy-hitting sweetness.

• Concentrated Orange Juice: A key ingredient that distinguishes it from other lemon-lime sodas, providing a fuller citrus body.

• Citric Acid: Adds the necessary tartness to balance the sugar and orange juice.

• Caffeine: Included at a higher level than most standard lemon-lime sodas to provide an invigorating boost.

• Natural Flavor: A proprietary blend that creates the "Dew" taste profile.

• Yellow 5: The food coloring responsible for its signature neon-green appearance.

Energy & Nutritional Profile

Mountain Dew is a high-calorie, high-sugar beverage designed for maximum flavor impact. A single 12 fl oz (355ml) can provides:

Key Characteristics

• Higher Caffeine Content: At 54mg per can, it contains significantly more caffeine than a standard Sprite or 7-Up (which are caffeine-free) and even more than a classic Cola (approx. 34mg).

• Citrus-Hybrid Flavor: While often categorized with lemon-lime sodas, the inclusion of orange juice gives it a smoother, more "tropical" citrus edge.

• Aggressive Carbonation: Designed to stay "bubbly" longer, which enhances the drinking experience when served over ice.

• Bulk 12-Pack Value: This 144 fl oz total pack is the standard for stocking home pantries or office fridges, providing enough for a full week of daily refreshment.

Usage Tip: Mountain Dew is best enjoyed "Ice Cold" (near 33°F or 1°C) to maintain the crispness of its carbonation and the sharpness of the citrus. Because of its high sugar and caffeine content, it is popular as a "gaming" or "study" drink for sustained alertness.
