Kick soft drink

Kick is a citrus-flavored energy-style soft drink originally developed by Royal Crown Cola Co. (RC Cola) in the United States during the mid-1990s as a competitor to established brands like Mountain Dew. Known for its high caffeine content and bright packaging, it gained a significant following in international markets even as its presence in the US fluctuated.

Today, the brand's manufacturing is decentralized, with production occurring in various licensed bottling facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia. This geographic diversity ensures that the drink is readily available in different regions while maintaining the specific flavor profile established by its original creators.

The global rights to the brand and its concentrate are currently held by Cott Corporation's international business unit, Refresco. Refresco is the world's largest independent bottler for retailers and major brand owners, overseeing the distribution and brand management of the RC Cola portfolio, including Kick, across many international territories.
