It will come in two flavors, Citrus and Fruit Punch. 'Our consumers told us they are looking for an alternative to traditional morning beverages – one that tastes great, includes real fruit juice and has just the right amount of kick to help them start their days,' said Greg Lyons, Mountain Dew's vice president of marketing."

    Mountain Dew already has orange juice concentrate in it. If someone wants juice with a kick, drop an open 5 Hour Energy into your glass of juice.

    What their consumers really want is for Mountain Dew Throwback to replace regular Mountain Dew.

    No... My favorite part is from this article!

    "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," Baker said.
    The amount of fruit juice Kickstart actually has is 5%, Baker said. ...

  4. As a dentist who treats patients with Mt. Dew by mark_reh · · Score: 5, Informative

    mouth on a regular basis, all I can say is there should be warning labels on all fizzy beverage containers. For some reason there are a lot of stupid people in the world who think that drinking soda all day long is OK, even as they look in a mirror and see their teeth turning black.

    One recent patient, a 28 YO female, who will probably be in complete dentures within 5 years, told me she cut back from 3 six packs of the Dew per day to only one because her physician told her it was wrecking her teeth and making her fat. By the time she got to me I had to extract 8 of her remaining teeth and fit her for partial dentures. She reported that her teeth didn't start hurting until just before she came to see me in spite of the fact that 3 of her teeth had no clinical crowns left at all (they were rotted down to the gum line).

    The combination of acid and sugar is the worst thing for your teeth, and generally not good for your body either.

    Drink water.
