Kick is a high energy drink produced for the supermarket chain Tesco in the UK. It is similar in taste and composition to Red Bull. A standard bottle of Kick Stimulation Drink contains 5 servings (of which a serving is a standard 200ml portion of the bottle).
Kick Stimulation Drink contains an abnormally high caffine content of 30mg/100ml. Therefore, it is not suitable for diabetics, children or people sensitive and/or allergic to caffeine. Kick Stimulation Drink is suitable for vegetarians.
Red Bull, a similar high energy drink, contains 32mg/100ml. Therefore Red Bull contains 6.6666...% more caffeine than Kick. Extreme caution is advised when having such amounts of caffeine.
Kick now also comes in Cranberry flavour, and also a Diet Kick version.
