Soda-Inspired Breakfast Beverages

The Mountain Dew Kickstart Hopes to Replace Coffee and Tea

Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the drink people wash it down with should be just as substantial and Mountain Dew Kickstart hopes to be people's first choice. Forget about coffee, juices and smoothies, this soda-inspired beverage boasts a combination of caffeine, real fruit juice as well as some crucial vitamins to satisfy all needs and wants, especially when it comes to taste.

Although Mountain Dew Kickstart could be dismissed as just another energy drink, it is much more comparable to a cup of coffee than a can of Rockstar. The Mountain Dew Kickstart also uses artificial sweeteners to come in at 80 calories, about half of what a regular soda is.
