Fountain sodas and soft drinks
Coke®, Diet Coke®, Sprite®, Fanta® Orange and Hi-C® Orange sat in a tight cluster at each size. Other brands, such as Fanta® Grape and IBC Root Beer, averaged noticeably less, possibly because fewer locations listed them.

Each figure is the average of the latest listing at each sampled location that offered that size. Unsized listings, labelled “Base” in the dataset, are shown in the sub-line where they differ. Not in-store prices. Calories are marked Not verified until checked against official U.S. product pages.
Dr Pepper Zero® averaged $3.49 for a Medium, $1.08 more than regular Dr Pepper® ($2.41). The jump between its Small and Medium ($1.00) is also far larger than for any other fountain soda. The averages most likely reflect a small number of listings rather than a true price gap, but our dataset summary does not give per-item location counts. Treat these figures as unreliable, and check your local price.
Specialty sodas
These are fountain sodas mixed with added flavors or cream, such as Dirty Dr Pepper®, Vanilla Swirl, Orange Dream and Sprite® Berry Blast. Their prices cluster near $3.90 Small, $4.33 Medium and $4.77 Large.

For Reduced Sugar Berry Blast with Sprite Zero Sugar®, the source records $99.00 at one location for every size. That value stays in the dataset's averages and pushes them above $35. Those figures do not describe a real cup price, so we do not show them. Price this drink by checking a local menu.
At Medium, the specialty version of a soda cost about $1.90 more than the plain fountain drink (delivery averages).
Iced tea, hot tea and lemonade
The dataset lists “Sweet Iced Tea” and “Southern Style Sweet Tea” as separate names. They could be regional labels for the same drink, but their averages differ, so both are shown as recorded.

Bottle and can sizes were not part of the delivery listings we recorded, so this page makes no per-ounce comparisons. Whether milk and juice can be swapped into a Happy Meal depends on official meal terms, not on these listings.
Drinks inside combo meals
Meal listings in the dataset come in Medium and Large versions, and the drink is one of the meal's components. In most meal listings the unsized price matches the Medium price. What a meal includes, and how much the Large upgrade adds, is covered on the combo meal price page.
To price a sandwich with a separately bought drink, add both in the meal builder. It shows component prices side by side and marks any total with a missing value as incomplete.

How much is a Medium soda at McDonald's?
A Medium Coke®, Sprite®, Fanta® Orange or Hi-C® Orange averaged $2.43 on sampled DoorDash delivery menus, Aug 19–Sep 29, 2026. Medium Diet Coke® averaged $2.42 and Medium Dr Pepper® $2.41. In-store prices may be lower. Check your restaurant in the official app.
Are all fountain drinks the same price?
Not in this sample. The main Coca-Cola® brands matched to within a few cents, at about $2.14 Small, $2.43 Medium and $2.73 Large. Others varied. Small Fanta® Grape averaged $1.59, and Michigan Mix averaged $2.89, likely because fewer locations listed those drinks.
Why is Reduced Sugar Berry Blast not priced here?
One sampled location listed it at $99.00 for every size, and that value lifts the averages above $35. We mark it “Price not reliable” rather than show a figure that does not reflect a real cup price.
Can you buy iced tea by the gallon?
Two gallon listings appeared in the sample: Gallon Southern Style Sweet Tea at $5.72 and Gallon UnSweet Tea at $5.46, both delivery averages. Availability varies by restaurant, and we have not verified which locations offer gallons.
Where are the calorie and sugar figures?
Drink nutrition is marked Not verified until it has been checked against official U.S. McDonald's product pages. Use the nutrition explorer to search drinks as figures are added, or see the official U.S. menu.
Are these in-store prices?
No. They are averages of the latest DoorDash delivery listing at each sampled U.S. location. Delivery menus often cost more than in-store menus, and fees are not included. Find a restaurant through the official restaurant locator to check its price.
