The Best Drinks to Buy at Dollar General

I believe that the best test of a dollar store’s greatness is the fun drinks it sells. You can find undiscovered treasures that your local grocery store doesn’t keep in stock. You’re certainly bound to do a few double takes at the oddities that you’ll come across. It’s time to see if Dollar General can truly earn its stripes as a dollar store with this roundup of the best drinks at Dollar General.

RC Cola Berries and Cream

Remember RC Cola, that drink you haven’t thought about in 30 years? Well, turns out they’re still chugging along and they’re still putting out new flavors. You can find out exactly what RC Cola Berries and Cream edition tastes like for the low, low price of $1 at your local Dollar General.

Juice Monster Mango Loco

Like any good dollar store, Dollar General has a wall of Monster flavors to choose from. Picking out which one to grab can be overwhelming. Thankfully, we’ve already done the heaving lifting in this department. Sporked’s tried countless flavors of Monster over the years and nothing quite compares to Monster’s Mango Loco which, oh so conveniently, is in stock at Dollar General.

Sparkling Ice Classic Lemonade

What luck! The Sporked team has tried 20-plus flavors of Sparkling Ice and Dollar General just so happens to have our very favorite one. Taste tester Ariana Losch described it as “bright, zingy, and instantly invigorating.” Just what your body needs after a few of the hazardously fun drinks we’ve covered so far.

Gatorade Mashups Lemon Lime + Orange Thirst Quencher

The hits keep coming. Gatorade Mashups were a new concept to me, so naturally I did what I always do when I run into something new while out and about, I turned to Sporked for info! Dollar General had both Mashups flavors that snack correspondent Griffin Parker tried, but Griffin liked the Lime + Orange combo a little better so it wins out here, too.

International Delight Cinnabon Iced Coffee

I know what you’re thinking: There’s a severe lack of fun drinks on this list. Some have been a little kooky but they haven’t quite hit true fun territory. It’s time to fix that. There’s a wide selection of coffee to choose from at Dollar General but iced coffee with the essence of a Cinnabon cinnamon roll is exactly what we need to crank things up a notch.

Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Juice Smoothie

If you’ve been drinking your way through this haul let me first say that I appreciate the dedication. Your body is probably screaming at you to give it some actual nutrients though. Bolthouse Farms’ strawberry and banana smoothie will be music to your body’s ears after all you’ve put it through up to this point. Praise be to Dollar General for giving us a little respite from the caffeine frenzy we’ve put ourselves in.
