"Kenan & Kel's" Kel Mitchell is planning to launch his own orange soda

The wacky Kel also had an obsessive love with orange soda, which both qualified as "totally random" in that way shows for children often craft comedy and also aligned with the color scheme of Nickelodeon's branding. It is the element of "Kenan & Kel" that has stuck with people the most.

Recently, Mitchell was at a '90s-themed convention, and of course orange soda came up. He said that, to this day, in venues highbrow and low, he will be asked to do his "Who loves orange soda?" schtick. Mitchell also happily obliges.

At the convention, Mitchell also told the crowd he is working on launching his own orange soda. We aren't sure if there is a massive market for a nostalgia-based novelty soda brand, but maybe Millennials will make it a solid business decision for Mitchell. 

After dropping the news, Mitchell added, "I was on the phone with my attorney because...it has to be healthy. I can't have kids out here just drinking fructose and sugar, you know what I mean? So, we've been working on it."

Now, what child would be drinking an orange soda because an actor who had his biggest role years before they were born is selling it? That we don't know. Chalk it up as a bit of eccentricity from Mitchell, perhaps. These days there is a whole quasi-soda revolution going on that offers healthier takes on the traditional versions of the beverage. Maybe Mitchell could pair up with an extant company and just brand an orange soda for them. Might be a bit easier.

Mitchell also said he and Thompson are kicking around a third "Good Burger" movie, and that this one won't take another 15 years. Which, yeah. The dude is 46. One would hope he wouldn't be making a third "Good Burger" movie in his sixties.
