Panda Express Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew appears at Panda Express locations under Pepsi bottling agreements: $2.20 for a small fountain drink. It is the citrus soda in that lineup and the most caffeinated regular soda on any Panda fountain.

Bright yellow green, aggressively sweet and citrus forward, with more caffeine than a standard cola. It is the drink people order for the caffeine as much as the flavor, and its sweetness competes with the glazed entrees rather than cutting through them.

Panda Express publishes its full nutrition panel for national menu items, and this drink runs regionally, so no verified calorie figure appears on this page. This site does not estimate numbers it cannot source. For published context on what a regular citrus soda costs in calories, Sprite carries 250 calories and Fanta Orange carries 410. Full sugar sodas of this type generally sit at the higher end of that range.

It suits anyone who orders it by preference and needs the caffeine. Pair it with savory dishes like Black Pepper Chicken at 280 calories rather than the sweet glazed entrees. Zero calorie alternatives at any store include the unsweetened teas; the full drinks lineup is on the Panda Express drinks menu.
