It was funny, despite being a Coke campus they had Pepsi machines around, like Coke did not mind. Pepsi took over, you could not find a Coke anywhere not even at on campus convenience stores. Our McDonalds even served Pepsi, I think at that point only the 2nd one, the other being on Pepsi HQ property, did that. I had Starry Zero Sugar this weekend. It was good, its not 7up or Sprite by any means. Its very syrupy with a very different Lemon Lime soda taste. My friend mentioned he felt like instead of copying Sprite or 7up, they maybe thought how can we make a Pepsi-like Lemon Lime soda, as Pepsi is known to be Syrupy and have that kind of mouth feel.

To be pedantic, Fresca is a grapefruit-flavored citrus zero sugar drink. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 They got it in at my local store and I tried a bottle today. It's still Sierra Mist. Teenage me is pleased. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hopping in on the "tried it" train. Graphics are nice. Name is a bit weird. Soda isn't much different from Sierra Mist. Maybe less distinctive than anything. I don't think they really nailed the flavor in the way they hyped it up to be. That being said, the logo is fantastic. 3 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I tried it. I’m not a sprite fan, but I really liked the taste of starry it was sweeter, and the lemon lime taste was stronger which were both positives for me when compared to sprite that tastes more like lemon infused sparkling water to me.

MOTHER ER EDIT, anyway for a more constructive addition to the conversation, I wish they had gone ahead with this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_(soft_drink) It was pretty good actually when I had it in one of the test markets. I always wondered what happened to Storm. Turns out I was in one of the test markets. Man, there were a lot of soda brands in the 90s that were named like arena football/indoor soccer teams... Surge, Kick, Jolt, Storm, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Milwaukee was a test market for Storm, so I had it in the summer of '99 at my grandpa's house. I remember Jar Jar Binks being on the can. I don't remember the taste. but the logo vaguely suggests dishwasher detergent. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Just showing how much Pepsi really cares about their lemon lime sodas over the years. While I dont think Starry has hit fountains yet but my Taco Bell still has the Mist Twist sticker. They are gonna completely skip a brand. 2 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I went to Las Vegas my friend & I stayed at Circus Circus, which served only Pepsi products. It had a McDonald's inside that also only had Pepsi drinks. 1 Quote Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who do you think Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 On 1/17/2023 at 12:09 PM, kmccarthy27 said: I was at the University of Maryland when they went from a Coke campus to a Pepsi campus.

Marriott hotels traditionally serve Pepsi products and are pretty vigilant about enforcing it (I guess as a long-term :censored:-you to Coca-Cola for not giving them a loan back in the day when Pepsi did). I stayed at one once that had the usual array of Pepsi products in the front desk market, but also had Coke and Diet Coke bottles in there. I thought about calling corporate on them, not because I had an issue with it, but because I was curious if Marriott and/or Pepsi SWAT teams would mount up and storm the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
