The Ring King calories

Swig lists The Ring King at 170 to 620 calories. That's one range for the whole drink across all five sizes; Swig doesn't publish a count for each size, so we don't give one. See Swig nutrition facts for every drink Swig publishes calories for, and Swig allergens for what Swig does and doesn't publish on allergens.

How to order a lighter Ring King

These are menu facts, not diet advice. We checked The Ring King's options at all 178 stores:

Swap the base. Diet Dr Pepper and Dr Pepper Zero cost nothing extra.
The rest stays regular. The drink's options have no sugar-free cupcake syrup, and the strawberry puree and vanilla cream have no sugar-free versions.

So only the base can go diet: a 32 oz with Diet Dr Pepper is still $4.49 at the middle-priced store, because the swap is free. Swig doesn't publish calories for a changed drink, so we can't say what the swap saves. See Swig sugar-free drinks for drinks that are sugar-free from the start.
