I'm almost afraid to suggest it should be ripped from it's Southern roots, but we really would love it up North too if it were made available. Anyone with some pull, hook us up! We'll make sure it isn't on the shelf near Mountain Dew.
Hm, I haven't tried Sun Drop yet since moving here. Is it a NC thing or a Southern thing? More like Mountain Dew, Squirt, or 7UP? I guess I could just spring the $1 to buy a bottle and find out, lol, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

To me it like a real smooth Mountain Dew except it and Cheerwine another local soda do not have caffeine
I would not compare it to 7up or Squirt and btw Sprite is more popular around here than 7 up

I am confused. Just last week I was shopping - I think at Bi-Lo but could have been Harris Teeter - and I saw Diet Sundrop and also Diet Sundrop with no caffiene. That confused me because I didn't think Sundrop had caffiene. Unless, perhaps the one saying no caffiene is their new packaging and they still had some old stuff left.
I have had to go to Sundrop because I what I love I cannot find here. I love Diet Mountain Dew with no caffiene. I have searched all over this area and the only place I have found it is Walmart in Mooresville. I have asked local stores around Huntersville to carry it but they don't. I even asked the Pepsi driver and he just said it was not popular here.
It has orange juice in it, but it has a good amount of caffeine! Caffeine free it is not. I think it, along with Mountain Dew and then things like Jolt, has the most caffeine in it compared to other drinks.
Dr. Pepper and Cheerwine, and Sprite and 7-Up etc, do not contain caffeine.
Sun Drop is the triple threat: CARBS, caffeine, and FD&C Yellow #5!
Ya'll must be seeing some of the labels for Diet Caffeine-Free Sundrop. My husband loves Sundrop and every time he goes on a low carb diet, he drinks the Diet Caffeine Free ones....he says they are one of the few diet drinks that taste ok compared to their original, but they make him feel weird. My understanding is Diet Cheerwine also tastes ok.
I personally don't think any diet sodas/soft drinks (or pop for some of you! ) taste ok.
I would describe Sun Drop as being most similar to Mountain Dew or Mello Yello, but BETTER. I think the orange juice in it is the kicker. But the problem I have with Sun Drop is that you can get some real duds. For some odd reason, the 2 liters never taste as good to me, and when I get cans, sometimes it's "Eh." and sometimes it "Hey, this is a GREAT one!" Never different results in the same pack, but just a difference between batches I guess.
On side note I used to live near the Sun Drop plant in Concord where the shooting happened. Does anyone know if they have any new info? This happened after I moved but it struck home for me.
The other day with the help of Charmin, I realize why it is called Sun Drop but I did have several bottles of it within a day.
Oh. Haha!
My husband used to drink can after can after can, when he was a teenager, probably several 6-packs a day....and his mom told me that when she would do his laundry, his shirts would have HOLES in them from where he sweated, all over- almost like the Sundrop was making his sweat very acidic. YUCK!!!!!!! It stopped when he stopped drinking 2000 cans of Sun Drop a day.
I like SunDrop a lot, occasionally. But in general I try to limit my caffeine unless it's sweet tea, and also I try to avoid FD&C Yellow #5 just because I have this weird complex about it.

Dr. Pepper and Cheerwine both have caffeine. The only soda I know of that does NOT have caffeine are sprite, 7up and gingerale. Even orange soda has caffeine in it...
