Frequently Asked Questions About Mountain Dew slush
Does Mountain Dew slush have caffeine?
It can: Mountain Dew slush is often made with a caffeinated Mountain Dew drink. The amount varies with the product’s country-specific formula, the slush recipe, and serving size, so it is not identical everywhere.
What is Mountain Dew slush made of?
Mountain Dew slush is typically made from Mountain Dew and ice, or from a frozen drink mix flavored to taste like it. Store-bought recipes can include additional sweeteners or ingredients to maintain a slushy texture.
Is Mountain Dew slush the same as frozen Mountain Dew?
They are similar, but not always identical. A slush is usually blended or machine-frozen to create small ice crystals, while simply freezing Mountain Dew can make a solid or unevenly frozen block.
How do you make Mountain Dew slush at home?
Blend Mountain Dew with ice in short bursts until it reaches a slushy texture. For a stronger flavor, partially freeze the drink first; blending for too long can melt the ice and leave it watery.
Why does Mountain Dew slush cause brain freeze?
Very cold Mountain Dew slush can trigger a brief brain-freeze headache when it quickly cools the roof of your mouth. Sip it slowly, or let each mouthful warm slightly before swallowing.
Does Mountain Dew slush have more sugar than regular Mountain Dew?
Not necessarily. The sugar depends on the drink used, how much ice is added, and whether the recipe includes extra syrup. As the ice melts, the slush may taste less sweet without the sugar disappearing.
Can you freeze a can of Mountain Dew to make a slush?
Do not freeze a sealed can: liquid expands as it freezes, which can make the can burst or leak. Pour the drink into a freezer-safe container instead, and check it regularly as it partly freezes.
Is Mountain Dew slush carbonated?
It may retain some fizz if it is made from freshly opened Mountain Dew, but blending and freezing usually release carbonation. The finished texture and fizz depend on how the slush is prepared.
Does Mountain Dew slush keep you awake?
It may, if the recipe contains caffeine. Having Mountain Dew slush late in the day can interfere with sleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine; choose a caffeine-free drink near bedtime.
Is Mountain Dew slush bad for your teeth?
Frequent sipping can raise the risk of tooth decay because Mountain Dew slush is sugary, and the drink may also be acidic. Having it occasionally, rather than sipping it over a long period, limits repeated exposure.

What is Mountain Dew slush?
A Mountain Dew slush is the familiar citrus-flavoured soda turned into a cold, semi-frozen drink with a fine, icy texture. Slush drinks are a fixture of American convenience stores, cinemas and fast-food counters, where they’re often sold in large cups as a treat or a way to cool down.
It’s served very cold and sipped through a straw; the sweet, tangy flavour makes it more of a refreshing snack than a mealtime drink. Nutritionally, it is mostly sugar-derived carbohydrate, with no protein or fat. If you want a lighter treat, choose a smaller cup or have it alongside water rather than treating it as your main drink.
