Generic citrus sodas


In addition to Pepsi's Mountain Dew, Coca-Cola's Mello Yello or Dr Pepper's Sun Drop, there are a variety of smaller or regional brands for citrus soda. In deference to Mountain Dew's leading position in the market segment, some brands also use the word "Mountain" in their names.

Big K Citrus Drop is the generic version of Mountain Dew sold at Kroger stores. Its name plays another citrus drink, Sun Drop, which claims that its introduction in 1928 makes it the first soft drink marketed in this category, earlier than Mountain Dew. The brand's slogan is "Pop the Drop" which is analogous to Mountain Dew's former "Do the Dew" slogan. The Xtreme version tastes the same, but contains more caffeine than the original Citrus Drop, and used and comes in a 'tribal' themed can. According to Kroger's customer service, Diet Citrus Drop Xtreme has 70.9 MG of caffeine per 12 oz can. The slogan is "Citrus With Attitude".

This is the Stewart's Shops equivalent to Mountain Dew available in upstate New York and Vermont.

This was the Sodastream version of Mountain Dew, sold as a syrup for their home carbonation device. This flavor was sold in standard and diet varieties, both of which use Splenda as part or all of the sweetening agent, instead of aspartame or high-fructose corn syrup. Fountain Mist was discontinued as part of their brand overhaul in mid-2015.

Heee Haw is the generic version of Mountain Dew sold at Hy-Vee stores, also available in diet. Name derived by adding an extra "e" in the middle of the words "Hee Haw," the name of a popular Southern television series. Heee Haw does not contain any orange juice like its name brand equivalent.

HEB Citrus Rush is distributed by Texas grocery chain H-E-B. H-E-B has compared the soda to Mountain Dew as a part of its “Texas Showdown” campaign.
