i'm not ready! i'm not even ready for peanut butter powder!

As if your teeth and liver need another excuse to die slowly, you start your day with this shit? Mandatory treadmills for anyone who regularly buys this and an insulin shot.

Mt dew already has OJ in it. Not exactly breaking new ground.

I doubt there's any actual fruit juice in a Mountain Dew...

Coke and OJ...that's the stuff

Why do we need a breakfast soda? Just have regular soda with breakfast. There's a mexican restaurant I go to for breakfast and I always get a large soda with my eggs, hasbrowns, bacon and sausage.

Breakfast soda? Taco Bell says yes

The chain is adding a concoction of Mountain Dew and orange juice to its morning menu.

Taco Bell is taking breakfast to new sugary heights with its introduction of Mtn Dew AM -- a mix of Mountain Dew soda and Tropicana orange juice.

The fast-food chain has been testing the drink -- nicknamed the "Dewdriver" -- for months as part of its FirstMeal breakfast offering. Apparently, people are just fine with getting their soda on in the early hours, because Taco Bell has given the drink a permanent place on the breakfast menu.

Breakfast at Taco Bell is still in a trial of sorts, available at 800 restaurants in 14 states, The Associated Press reports. Yum Brands which owns Taco Bell as well as KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, may take breakfast national by 2014 if the trial works.

Expanding a breakfast menu has been a top priority for fast-food chains trying to cut into McDonald's McMuffin-powered morning dominance. It's not as easy as it sounds. Wendy's is having a tough time establishing itself as a breakfast destination, testing out menu items for a full six years -- without the best results.

edited for compliance

How can Taco Bell succeed in the morning where Wendy's hasn't? Through strong advertising and gimmicks that stick -- gimmicks like the "Dewdriver." The drink, by the way, is not for the calorie conscious. A 12-ounce can of Mountain Dew contains 47 grams of sugar -- about 11 teaspoons of added sugar, KFSN reports. An 8-ounce serving of Tropicana Orange juice contains 22 grams of natural sugars.

What do you think about Taco Bell's breakfast soda? Disgusting or a morning triumph?

My gut expanded an inch just reading about this.

never

I guess I'm out of the loop on that.

It's never too early to start rotting your teeth.

i thought everyone drank soda for breakfast?

So I guess drinking soda for breakfast is not as "crazy" as I thought it was.

I love a cold coke every now and again but soda for breakfast is a bad idea. Things like OJ that you buy in the store already has too much sugar in it. I water all store bought jiuces down even if they just have natural sugar and no added sugar.

Ugh, it is bad enough we have iced coffee..please, no soda for breakfast!

i never understood how people can drink soda in the morning

Everyday before work i drink some water & sometimes orange juice... but a soda so early makes me feel blegh.

I think that is Disgusting!

Mayor Bloomberg will not be happy about this! " />

He wants to Ban New Yorkers from drinking large cups

of soda from fast - food chains. Alcohol is more dangerous

to a person's health, than soda is! " />

lol, if i'd drink that at 8 am, i'd fall asleep by 8:30, after the initial sugar rush.

how about promoting a drink based on green/white tea, with NO sugar

or better yet, make yourself a couple of wholemeal sandwiches at home, and

a cup of tea/coffee with a piece of fruit or 2 to have on the go.

ewwww. my McDonald's breakfast burrito is way better than that crap!

Unfortunately some of us already do a soda first thing in the a.m. Diet, but that just leads to early Alzheimer's.
