Kickstart Black Cherry Freeze
Beginning in March 2014, select Taco Bell restaurant locations began offering "Mountain Dew Kickstart Black Cherry Freeze," an icy variant of Kickstart (Energizing Black Cherry), replacing the preexisting Distortion Freeze. However, it was discontinued at the beginning of October 2014 and replaced with Starburst Strawberry Freeze.
Canadian Release
Kickstart Black Cherry was released in Canada on February 22, 2016. This was most likely due to the success of Fruit Punch and Orange Citrus newly launched in Canada in 2015. Additionally, Kickstart (Energizing Black Cherry) and Kickstart (Energizing Orange Citrus) were both launched in various Arabian countries (including Saudi Arabia and Qatar) the following year. Kickstart (Energizing Black Cherry) was discontinued in Canada in February of 2018, shortly after the release of Kickstart (Energizing Mango Lime).
Finnish Release
In March 2019, Kickstart Black Cherry was released in Finland, renamed as Jumpstart Black Cherry.
