As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can confirm that Taco Bell did discontinue Kickstart in mid-2022. Kickstart, specifically the Energizing Orange Citrus flavor, was introduced to Taco Bell restaurants in March 2015, replacing Diet Baja Blast. The unique combination of orange and citrus flavors offered a refreshing and energizing option for Taco Bell customers.
I remember when Kickstart first made its debut at Taco Bell. It was a welcomed addition to their beverage lineup, providing a different taste experience from the traditional soft drinks. The vibrant orange color and invigorating citrus aroma immediately caught my attention. I was curious to try it and see how it compared to other energy drinks on the market.
Upon taking my first sip, I was pleasantly surprised by the balance of flavors. The orange notes were bright and zesty, while the citrus undertones added a refreshing twist. It was a perfect companion to my Taco Bell meal, offering a burst of energy and a burst of flavor.
For several years, Kickstart remained a popular choice among Taco Bell customers. Its availability in the restaurants provided a unique and exclusive beverage option that couldn't be found elsewhere. Many people, myself included, enjoyed the convenience of being able to enjoy Kickstart alongside their favorite Taco Bell menu items.
However, as with any product, consumer preferences and market demands can change over time. In mid-2022, Taco Bell made the decision to discontinue Kickstart and replace it with a new offering called Brisk Dragon Paradise tea flavor exclusive to their restaurants.
While I haven't had the opportunity to try the Brisk Dragon Paradise tea flavor yet, I am intrigued by the concept of a tea-infused beverage at Taco Bell. Tea has a long history of being enjoyed for its various flavors and health benefits, and I'm curious to see how it is incorporated into a fast-food beverage.
Taco Bell did discontinue Kickstart in mid-2022 and introduced the Brisk Dragon Paradise tea flavor as a replacement. This change reflects the ever-evolving nature of the food and beverage industry, as companies strive to meet the changing tastes and preferences of their customers. I look forward to trying the new Brisk Dragon Paradise tea flavor and seeing how it compares to the beloved Kickstart.
