These have the flavor of original Mountain Dew, but with less calories. The one of the left is Kickstart Ultra that has just 5 calories. It has no added sugar, but has sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium. The regular one, on the right, has high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, acesulfame potassium. Both have 90 milligrams of caffeine. (Spotted by Luke P at Dollar General.)<\/i><\/p>\n
