In addition to PepsiCo'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.

Citrus Drop contains 26.2 mg of caffeine per 12 US fl oz (350 ml) can, while Diet Citrus Drop contains 25.1 mg.^[2] The Xtreme version tastes the same, but contains more caffeine than the original Citrus Drop, and comes in a 'tribal' themed can.
