Mountain Dew Introduces Breakfast Soda

February 12, 2013 at 8:15AM by Zoe Bain | 10 Comment
While coffee, tea, and juice are typically the morning beverages of choice, Mountain Dew is hoping that what people really want for breakfast is soda. Pepsico Inc. has created a new drink, which it has dubbed a "sparkling juice beverage," in an attempt to take advantage of the A.M. market.
According to the Associated Press, the new morning beverage is called Kickstart. It features 5 percent real fruit juice, caffeine, and, of course, the "great taste of Mountain Dew." Kickstart will come in two varieties, Orange Citrus and Fruit Punch.
Mountain Dew is marketing the beverage as having fewer calories than a typical soda (it contains 80 per 16-ounce can) and less caffeine than your average energy drink. The company is also clear that Kickstart doesn't contain any of the dubious energy drink ingredients that continue to raise health concerns. Yet the 16-ounce can looks suspiciously similar to several energy drinks that are already popular choices.
Apparently there is actually a market for a breakfast soda, which PepsiCo was made aware of through consumer research. Mountain Dew fans want an alternative to "traditional" breakfast beverages.
While Kickstart does have a flavor called Orange Citrus, PepsiCo denies that the drink has anything to do with a Taco Bell experiment last year in which the company mixed orange juice and Mountain Dew. That drink, called Mtn Dew A.M., was also sold as a morning beverage.
Mountain Dew will roll out Kickstart nationwide on February 25. However those who don't want to wait can request a can fromkickstartfirsttaste.com.

I've seen some threads with the weakest of show connections, but I'd say this is about a 5 out of 10, with 1 being the weakest. And this thread is proving to have some legs, unlike ETM. We need GP to tweet this article to him, I love that grumpy little midget.

This is more propaganda from the anti-fun delegation of do-gooders.

It seems that much water is bad for you too.

From Wikipedia:
Water, just like any other substance, can be considered a poison when over-consumed in a specific period of time. Water intoxication mostly occurs when water is being consumed at a high quantity without giving the body its proper nutrients it needs to be healthy.^[2]
Excess of body water may also be a result of a medical condition or improper treatment; see "hyponatremia" for some examples. Water is considered the least toxic chemical compound, with a LD₅₀ of 90 g/kg or more in rats.

How about a Fresca?

[Dick Gozinya]

my Aunt drinks close to that in Diet Pepsi, and smoke 3 packs of Lucky Strikes a day

And she'll outlive all of us.

[Quite Frankly]

Here she is

Not bad, right? I was expecting her to look like a People of Walmart-type...and with all those teeth missing, she must've given some mind-blowing head. Especially if you removed all the Coke from the house, imagine what she'd do for it....

A mother-of-eight, 30, died suddenly from a cardiac arrest because she drank up to 18 pints of Coke every day for years, a coroner has ruled.


Natasha Harris died on February 25, 2010, after her partner Christopher Hodgkinson found her seated on the toilet, slumped against the wall and gasping for air at their home in Invercargill on New Zealand's south island.

Over 2 feet, and the town didn't even plow our lane until today- that's over 4 days stuck inside, I was like Jack Torrance...

Just went to the grocery store & packy so sanity is restored.
