How about Some Soda with Your Cereal? Mountain Dew Rolls Out Juice-Like Breakfast Drink

[DainBramaged]

Yup, the soda — or at least, a drink that shares its name — could become part of your morning routine. PepsiCo wants to round out your breakfast with Kickstart, a new Mountain Dew-flavored drink packed with caffeine, 5% real fruit juice and Vitamins B and C.

Mountain Dew representative Elisa Baker told the Los Angeles Times that their customers were looking for an alternative to traditional morning beverages, such as coffee and tea. The company did extensive research into the possibilities, and apparently found that a lot of crazy people want to drink soda in the morning.

“Kickstart combines the best of all worlds — it tastes great, has just the right amount of real fruit juice and gives them a kick to help them start their day,” she said.

1. I drink soda. Is cold caffeine somehow worse than HOT caffeine? Think about it.

6. 5% is the right amount of fruit juice? Really?

Even when I was constantly downing caffeine, I wouldn't have drank this crap... Now, had it been caffeine infused 100% orange juice, I probably would have bought it buy the keg.
