About CITRUS FLAVORED SODA, CITRUS
Mountain Lightning Citrus Flavored Soda in a 355-milliliter can format delivers 54 calories and 14.08 grams of carbohydrates per serving, closely matching the 360 ml bottle version with minor rounding differences. The ingredient list is largely identical to the other Mountain Lightning entries but with the calcium disodium EDTA listed without the parenthetical flavor-protection note, and Yellow 5 declared as FD&C Yellow No. 5 — the same colorant under its formal FDA designation.
The 355 ml can is the standard 12-ounce US soda can format, making this the most common Mountain Lightning purchase format at Walmart. The formulation uses carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, and citric acid as the base, with orange juice concentrate for a trace of real citrus flavor. Gum acacia, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate, caffeine, and brominated vegetable oil complete the formula. BVO's inclusion in this entry is consistent across all Mountain Lightning citrus soda records, confirming its widespread use in this product line prior to the FDA's 2023 ban.
Calorie density of approximately 15.2 calories per 100 ml is typical for full-sugar caffeinated sodas. No protein, fat, or fiber is contributed. No allergens are declared. The can format does not alter the nutritional or ingredient profile versus the bottle versions. Consumers seeking a Mountain Dew equivalent at a significantly reduced cost will find Mountain Lightning a functionally similar product, though it shares the same health-related ingredient concerns including HFCS, Yellow 5, caffeine, and BVO.
