Sportscenter Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Pepsi just can't leave this drink alone.The new name is a downgrade. And the new look is a lateral move.Best name and look was when it was know as Storm before Pepsi went with Sierra Mist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Twist would be a good name for a lemon-lime soda. "Twst" or "Mist Twst" would not be.Edit: Taken, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xist2inspire Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So you mean that after all the time spent on building up the Sierra Mist brand (I actually prefer it over Sprite these days), they throw it all away to go with a brand that screams "Mountain Dew 2." Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Six Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had no idea this was meant to replace Slice. I drank that all the time as a kid (but only could get it when I went on vacation to my local grocery store). I've been avoiding it now because Sierra Mist is a dumb name. This new name is just as bad as Pibb Xtra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I believe Slice was its own company when it first hit the market, then expanded into multiple flavors like Grape, Cherry Cola, Orange, and Strawberry. But Lemon-Lime was the core product, and eventually got bought up by Pepsi.Maybe Pepsi thought the Slice name was too connected to multiple flavors, so it eliminated them all to specifically market it as its version of Sprite. Don't know.But "Mist Twst" is just, well, stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 'Slice' is such a great name for a citrus based soda. Ditch the Mist Twst garbage and bring it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Apple Slice was the best. But I drank a ton of lemon-lime and orange Slice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
