Kick
was a citrus soda product by
Royal Crown Company, Inc.
developed in 1965. Kick was developed to compete with more popular citrus soft drinks in
North America
, such as
PepsiCo
's
Mountain Dew
With its tagline, "The hardcore, psycho, nitro drink in a can!", Kick hoped to carve out a niche market in the
extreme sports
,
punk
and
video game
subcultures similar to the success
Sprite
had with
hip hop
and
streetball
markets. The Kick brand was not successful; this was partially due to the perception that the tagline was part of artificial youth subcultural jargon created by marketing executives.
Kick was discontinued in 2002 when Royal Crown was acquired by
Cadbury Schweppes plc
through its acquisition of
Snapple
.
