Kick was a citrus-flavored soft drink product by Royal Crown Company, Inc. introduced to the market in 1995. Kick was developed to compete with more popular citrus soft drinks in North America, such as PepsiCo's Mountain Dew and Mellow Yellow by The Coca-Cola Company. It hoped to carve out a niche market in the extreme sports, punk and video game[1] subcultures.
Kick was discontinued in 2002 when Royal Crown was acquired by Cadbury Schweppes plc through its acquisition of Snapple.[2][3]
