Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Mtn Dew Kickstart Ultra Original Has No Added Sugar

— February 20, 2018 — Lifestyle
The Mtn Dew Kickstart Ultra Original has been unveiled by the brand as a new drink that will provide consumers with a low-calorie variant for them to enjoy when on the hunt for a lighter drink option.

The drink is infused with 5% juice, vitamins B and C, and a dose of caffeine that is reported to be enough to boost your energy level without feeling too stimulated. The sparkling soda contains just five calories per 16 ounce can and has been placed in juxtaposition to the Mtn Dew Kickstart Original which contains 80 calories.

The Mtn Dew Kickstart Ultra Original drink speaks to the growing popularity of alternative energy food and drinks as consumers seek out ways to maintain an active lifestyle.
