Mountain Dew Adds Flavors to its Kickstart Energy Drink Line

The MTN DEW KICKSTART brand has introduced four flavors to the lineup: Midnight Grape, Watermelon, Blueberry Pomegranate and Blood Orange. 

"Since the brand's introduction in 2013, MTN DEW KICKSTART has been an incredible success—one of our most exciting innovations of the past decade—and we're continuing to give guys the bold new flavors they're asking for with the introduction of Midnight Grape, Watermelon, Blueberry Pomegranate and Blood Orange," says Greg Lyons, senior vice president of marketing at Mountain Dew. 

In conjunction with the release of these new flavors, Mountain Dew will build upon its "It All Starts With a Kick" campaign, launching a robust 360 degree marketing program including engaging digital and social media, broadcast and out of home advertising, merchandising and experiential activations. And, for the first time since 2000, Mountain Dew will return to the Super Bowl with a hilarious TV ad that combines fan-favorite ad elements and is guaranteed to have fans talking.

MTN DEW KICKSTART launched in 2013 and has been dubbed one of PepsiCo's most successful beverage product launches in the past decade, generating annual retail sales of more than $300 million. With only 60 calories per 12-ounce serving, the four new low-calorie beverage flavors join six previously released flavors: Orange Citrus, Fruit Punch, Black Cherry, Limeade, Pineapple Orange Mango and Strawberry Kiwi.

The new flavors are available at retailers nationwide beginning on Jan. 25.
