For me, that amount slides nicely into the sweet spot and leaves me feeling refreshed without the lingering side effects.Īs such, Mountain Dew Kickstart is definitely a drink I would look forward to.Įven though Mountain Dew Kickstart has a middling amount of caffeine, you should still control your intake to avoid excessive caffeine consumption. Personally, my caffeine preferences range from between 50mg to 100mg per drink. Given that energy drinks of the same liquid, the volume can have up to 300mg of caffeine, Mountain Dew Kickstart is pretty moderate with regard to its caffeine content. How Much Caffeine Is In Mountain Dew Kickstart?Ī 16 fl.oz can of Mountain Dew Kickstart contains 90mg of caffeine, which happens to be an ideal amount of caffeine in an energy drink.
It is very good, and I think it’s probably my favorite of the Kickstart Dews so far. The blueberry comes through first and then it finishes with the pomegranate (got it right the first time! Woo!). This is the first Kickstart Dew that has been closer to “sharp” than to “round” in flavor. That’s as opposed to the regular, full-soda varieties that are more “sharp” in their flavor. Now, as you’ve probably read in my other Kickstart reviews, I tend to find that they have a “roundness” to the flavor that catches you on the sides of the tongue, almost around the edge to the bottom. As for the color, it reminds me a lot of Voltage, though it might actually be just a touch darker in color.Īlso, mental note to find a 20oz of Voltage to review. I’ll note that when pouring, my kitchen smelled like blueberry muffins for a moment. However, this last Saturday, the store must’ve gotten a restock, because there it was. I looked and was saddened to see that I’d not purchased a can. When I did my first review, my friend mentioned how great it was. A couple Saturdays ago when I went to the store and just picked up one of every Kickstart variety they had, apparently they were out of one.
I want to say that this particular flavor came recommended to me from a friend. So, I needed a bit of a kick here this morning.
If there’s one thing this review will do, it will teach me how to spell pomegranate correctly on the first try.Īnyway, I wasn’t actually originally planning on doing a review today, but thanks to my upstairs neighbors doing… whatever the hell it was much of the night, I didn’t get a lot of sleep.
