8993 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 So, we all know that Sierra Mist recently went through a rebrand and name change within the past year or so, moving from Sierra Mist to Mist Twst. To cause even more confusion, I was at a Sheetz just recently and they have changed the branding for Mist Twst yet again on their soda dispensers. The soda dispensers said Mist Twst just a month ago, but now say Sierra Mist. I'm sensing a serious identity crisis going on with this soda. Is anybody else seeing these changes in their area or is this an isolated incident? 2001-2006 2006-2008 2008-2010 2010-2011 2011-2013 2013-2016 2016-2018 (?) 2018(?) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 If the name "Sierra Mist" is back, this would please me. It would be an admission that "Mist Twst" (not even "Twist", but "Twst"!) was a mistake. That name just reeks of corny forced EXTREEEM!! branding, an approach which clashes badly with a citrus-flavoured soda. By the way, I had not seen (or had forgotten) that 2010-2011 logo. It is superb. This logo has the coolness that fits the product, even if it has no depiction of a mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthers_2012 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Never called it Mist Twist. If they are going back to Sierra Mist, that's good and the logo is better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8993 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Update: others have spotted the new logo/old name in other places, according to Twitter. No official word on an update or rebrand, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobbi Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Canadian here... We don't have Sierra Mist around my neck of the woods. Does it taste like Sprite/7up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is it just me, or is that logo extremely dated? It looks like it's straight out of 1999. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Pepsi's version of. Where Coke owns Sprite and DrPepper/Snapple/Keurig owns 7up in the US. Pepsi can make 7up anywhere but the US. This replaced Lemon Lime Slice a long time ago.

Dilbert Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Anyone else wish they would just dump Mist and bring back Slice? Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The logo looks like it belongs to a piss-tier beer, but at least it's called Sierra Mist again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Good to see it's going back to the less "edgy" name and awful spelling. The logo looks pretty clean. Still has an odd taste to me that wouldn't cause me to switch from Sprite or even the newer 7up but good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember Storm had caffeine in it but seeing as it was around for such a small time in the late 90s most people probably don’t even remember it. At at this point Pepsi would be better served starting over with a new name all together though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Never thought I'd see the day when a modern beverage rebrand contains Copperplate and Korinna. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Just went to the supermarket and sure enough hiding on the bottom was the diet version, which is being called "Sierra Mist Zero Sugar" Also what's interesting is that the NBA isn't a "Proud partner" anymore.
