I’m not usually a soda person (seltzer all the way), but I might just break my no-soda rule for this latest Mountain Dew collab. The citrus-flavored brand is teaming up with Little Caesars for a pizza-and-soda combo: Mountain Dew Mango Rush.
It’s kind of like pineapple on pizza, but in drink form. It's tropical and “has the refreshing citrus taste of Mountain Dew with a bold kick of mango flavor,” according to Food & Wine. If you’re into tangy, sour vibes with a savory twist, this could be your new go-to.
Mountain Dew Mango Rush drops at Little Caesars on May 5. You’ll find it in 16-ounce cans with a Mountain Dew x Little Caesars design (um, super cute!!). And it’s only available in Little Caesar's stores for a limited time, so you might want to grab it while you can. “Little Caesars customers will enjoy flavors that complement our fan-favorite offerings, which is why Mountain Dew Mango Rush is such a great fit,” says Greg Hamilton, the chief marketing officer of Little Caesars, per Food & Wine.
The collab was designed to give fans “more of the fruit-forward flavor they crave, perfectly pairing with their favorite Little Caesars pizza,” the outlet added.
This launch is inspired by the success of Pepsi Pineapple, which dropped a few years ago and quickly became a fan favorite. “Wish I still had some of this. I drank all of mine from Little Caesars so fast,” one Redditor wrote.
Will Mountain Dew Mango Rush live up to the legendary Pepsi Pineapple? Only time will tell. But if you’re a soda-and-pizza fan, this could be your new jam. And if you’re craving a citrusy drink but not feeling pineapple on your pizza, maybe try mixing Fanta Pineapple with regular Pepsi for a little DIY remix. Just a thought.
