So Pepsi struggles to compete with Sprite. Meanwhile Coca-Cola also can't compete with Mountain Dew as Mello Yello is slowly fading to obsolete.
Huh, so they both can’t find out whats in either of their krabby patty secret formulas
You can only find Mello yellow in coca cola free style machines these days. It's pretty good to be honest, i prefer it to mountain dew.
Mello Yellow sounds like a 90's stoner drink.
Mello yello is available in freestyle dispensers at restaurants. And even if it disappears, coca cola is still a strong competitor for a lot of other soft drinks
@@Ace_of_Hornsit sells well in the southern US
When I first saw Starry suddenly appear in the grocery store, I thought "this will probably only be around for a few months and then disappear into oblivion and become a Mandela Effect" and I took a picture of it for proof it existed.
😂😂
I thought it was one of those drinks made by some type of influencer, like “Prime” by Jake Paul or like the alcoholic drink “Happy Dad” made by Nelk. The design looks so Gen Z (Not a good thing personally) It doesn’t even look that it was made by Pepsi. I was actually in the US last week (Not from the US) and me and my dad wanted Mountain Dew, we were doubting getting Mountain Dew because even though it tastes so good we knew how much sugar it has in it, then my dad saw Starry and said “Hey maybe we should get that one!” Then my mom said “Nah it looks horrendous, I wouldn’t drink neither but don’t buy things you’ll not drink.” I looked at my dad and we both said “F&$!k it, let’s just get Mountain Dew instead.”
*prove*
When I first saw Starry at the grocery store, I thought it was the store’s generic lemon-lime soda.
Working in a restaurant serving Pepsi, ever since Sierra Mist changed to Starry, so many people pick something else to drink. Many people ask what is Starry and even after you tell them it's Sierra Mist's replacement, they usually ask for something else. I feel like the rebrand or new soda, if you will, wasn't really promoted well at all. I remember when Slice was replaced by Sierra Mist too. People usually just said okay to getting Sierra Mist instead of Slice.
Sierra Mist was first Introduced on August 10,1999. How do I know this? Because one, My Classmate was working at Taco Bell at the time and they had just started carrying it. And the SAME time, Snapple launched the "Elements" line of Drinks in Large Glass Bottles.
Oh, if you're telling them it's Sierra Mist's replacement, that's basically a deterent lol
I do not know a single person who liked Sierra Mist.
People who like Sierra Mist liked it because it was real sugar
@@moonbunny24 I loved it, it was way better than Sprite
I like Starry, but when I first saw it I had no idea it was replacing Sierra Mist so I wasn’t sure who made it since it wasn’t obvious Pepsi released it
Starry seems like a brand from GTA 😂
Sierra Mist started out fine until they messed with the formula, then it had an aftertaste.
They changed it in 2006 it was garbage and I'm glad it's gone. Starry is WAY better and my new favorite Lemon Lime soda.
Yeah I distinctly remember when it started tasting like chemicals/perfume. That aftertaste is a dealbreaker lol. Starry still has the exact same aftertaste which is so stupid like - that's the single biggest deterrent for me why bother not changing it? The flavor itself really isn't bad, either which is really disappointing
Yes! My god that aftertaste!
@@ghoulannabanana I disagree but go off. Starry is way better and does NOT have that aftertaste, I don't knoiw if it's your tastebuds but I don't get what you're tasting at all.
They switched from sugar to HFCS, so it is a cost saving measure.
Starry tastes good, but whoever named it needs to be fired. "Hey I'm going to the store, want anything?" "Yeah, get me a Starry....." That just doesnt sound right.
Just call it Other Sprite and watch the money roll in, baby
I think it would be hard to trademark
Dumb Sprite
They should call it Spirt
SPRlTE!!
Bad sprite
When a restaurant would offer Sierra Mist or Slice because they didn't carry 7up or Sprite, I usually said "just give me water"
Bro, it is flat carbonated water with a hit of lemon and preservatives. What do you possibly not like about it???
Dud3, br0, and b055 are douchewords. Please refrain from using them.
@@Attmay🤓
The restaurant I work at seems to be doing OK with Starry (Seems to be selling better than the last iteration of Sierra Mist) But Of Course (Even though we advertise selling Pepsi products) a high percentage of patrons order "Sprite", Eh we gave 'em Sierra Mist before when that happened, No we give 'em Starry) LOL. Oddly when it comes to COLA I'm a Coke guy, But I definitely drink my share Of Mtn Dew!
It’s interesting how after all these years, Pepsi still hasn’t found their niche when it comes to the lemon lime pop. Maybe Starry will take off, but if it doesn’t, I think Pepsi should stick to doing what they do well. They have the citrus flavored pop game IN THE BAG. People hardly recognize what Mello Yello and Surge are but everyone knows the name Mountain Dew. Also, Pepsi is a decent competitor for Coke. Some even prefer Pepsi.
I prefer Pepsi and Dr Pepper
Pepsi needs to make Mountain Dew Baja Blast more wildly available. In Canada, you can only get it at Taco Bell (Pepsi owned) and the dollar store in drink sized plastic bottles. You can't get a Diet or Zero version anywhere.
@@SeventizzFor the most parts it's the same here in America. Every few years it will come back into the stores in 12pks and usually every summer you can find bottles at convenience stores. It was actually supposed to be permanently replaced by pitch black dew. Baja would have been only available at Taco Bell. They immediately backtracked on that though and Baja was available the following year 🤣
in the US Pepsi hasn't found its niche in the Lemon Lime soda but for the International Market they License 7up from Dr Pepper since the late 80s
@@michaelsheal4015 mtn dew is owned by Pepsi... It is the third most popular soft drink in the entire United States. They have no problem making a lemon lime soda.
Sierra Mist < Sprite < Starry.
Starry has no weird aftertaste like Sierra Mist, refreshing like Sprite but tastes more like candy... which I'm totally here for.
This reminds me that in Peru, there's a lemon verbena flavored yellow soda called Inca Kola that has been so successful for many decades that Coca Cola partially bought it during the late 90s. It's one of the very few drinks that is able to genuinely compete toe to toe with Coke iirc, and it's still the most popular soda there. Also, many similar flavored, colored and even packaged sodas have been released over the years to directly compete with Inca Kola, though with just mild success. And just like with the Sprite-like sodas here, PepsiCo ended up buying one of those competing drinks, Triple Kola, in the early 2000s. But yeah, nice video. And kudos for that CN history video because it was really amazing.
Good Information! also thanks for watching!!!
@@AmusingLuis Sierra Mist launched on August 10,1999. Not 2000. I was in High School at the time and remember buying a $1 Bottle from Albertsons in Federal Way,WA. Sierra Mist was also launched the same time as Snapple Elements. Which came in large 2 oz Glass Bottles. I can STILL taste that Cactus Flavored Rain.
Brooo Inca Cola is soo good omg
i had it once at a peruvian chicken place ... kind of a white whale since you cant get it in basically any stores in america as far as i can tell
I literally go to the college that's directly across from Pepsis HQ. So, naturally, it's sponsored by them. And Starry isn't actually half bad. Don't think it'll overtake sprite but it's not bad
I tried it a few times and its ok
It tastes like Sierra Mist
Compared to Sierra Mist, I find Starry to be nasty af
@@andrewvaldez8689 I honestly also think some of Starry's influence also came from Mountain Dew Ice (its scrapped 2020 reformulation).....
Had Dew Ice taken off, it probably would've killed Sierra Mist sooner to become Pepsi's big lemon lime soda
Do you also go to Manhattanville University?
Teem was really good - I liked it better than Sprite, but I don't think most commenters would be old enough to have tried it.
Starry sounds close to "sorry", so maybe Pepsi is already apologizing in advance for its certain failure (haven't tried it yet).
I have had Teem. It really wasn’t too bad, and they probably shouldn’t have phased it out, but it definitely could have used a design overhaul.
I vaguely remember Teem existing, but not drinking or liking it. My preference was always 7-Up, and I always believed Sprite to be an inferior imitation of 7-Up.
You’re very right, starry is something to be apologized for. Personally it’s wayyy too sweet and artificial tasting, but this is coming from a Diet Coke fan.
@@danieldaniels7571I perfer sprite
#teamteem #70s
I miss all the versions of Slice. When 7up changed their recipe, I switched to Sprite. Ive only had Starry once, not too bad.
I remember serria mist as that soda my grandparents always had at parties for some reason.
That's because it mixed well with cheap Canadian whiskey.
I feel like 7Up is so underrated. It is SOOO much sweeter and fruitier tasting than Sprite. Sprite barely tastes like anything and the syrupy texture builds up in my throat like phlegm. Uck.
If you think Sprite tastes like nothing, I'd guess you have too much sugar in your diet
@@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8 i said it "barely" tastes like anything. Sure there's flavor, but very little. I liken it to drinking flavoted seltzer.
@@Ace_of_Horns Right, I get that, but you're wrong lol. Sprite absolutely doesn't taste like seltzer. Sprite has as much syrup as any other soda and is very sweet.
@@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8 have you had 7up recently? There's no comparison. 7up is much sweeter
@@Ace_of_Horns this is exactly my point. You're used to a lot of sugar, so you don't consider Sprite that sweet, even though the average palate would.
In Argentina PepsiCo has owned 7-up selling rights for as long as I can remember and has always been neck to neck with Sprite when it comes to popularity
Sprite started out as an off-brand wannabe 7-Up.
Yeah, as an argentinian I was so confused, because I thought Pepsi created and owned 7up, didn't know about the whole rights thing😅
Yeah owned by Pepsi everywhere but in the US
Teem still sells here in Brazil for some reason (but is way less popular than Sprite and local brands)
I do think that Starry is a huge step up in terms of branding and logo when compared to Sierra Mist
love the commercials
@@AmusingLuisi like em too
Tbh, Sierra Mist looked like off-brand Sprite
It also has a distinct lime note instead of just being over sweetened Sprite or (my preferred) 7up.
@@wolfgangervin25827Up is the best in my opinion as well.
The irony is in some parts of the world like Venezuela, Pepsi owns 7Up...and even there Coke still has a stranglehold on the market with Chinotto, which is Sprite with a more South America-friendly name.
It's amazing how they just can't figure out how to make lemon-lime work while Coke is just sliding their way to victory.
It’s like that in Canada too so this has never made sense to me because Pepsi already makes the biggest sprite competitor
Just Me and my RC
7Up is the Uncola
If Pepsi had brains they would have called it Mountain Dew Citrus
That's not a "KND/Spy Kids" sounding name.
Remember all the non-regular, diet and zero flavors have something that sounds like a kid playing super spy came up with the name based on several things they might hear throughout their day.
It would need a subtitle that sounds cool and punny had they gone with the Mountain Dew branding. Starry suggests outer space and music on it's own, but maybe if it were something else it would take off.
Moutain Dew- Convergence might be a better option on this one since Lemon & Lime are partners.
"sierra mist" is already literally the exact same name as "mountain dew" just using two different words that are completely synonymous in their nature. it's like the marketing team just opened a thesaurus. it's the laziest soda name ever. also proof that, no, mountain dew citrus probably wouldn't have been any better cause that's essentially what "sierra mist" is already. also people expect caffeine from mountain dew - not so much from lemon lime soda.
That's literally what Mountain Dew is though. The main ingredient is concentrated orange juice.
@@ActuallySanFranciscoNo, it "literally" isn't.
@@section8usmc53 you're one of those special people who just likes arguing on the internet for no good reason, huh? sierra is litearlly a synonym for mountain(s) and the name of a mountain range. and mist is literally analagous to dew. but ok you have fun over there being contrarian for no real reason, weirdo. then again, given your name, profile picture, and random bmw image on your youtube profile, odds are good you're just a fucking bot. social media has gotten so stupid.
I’m one of the ones who loved Sierra Mist, I was sad when it was announced it was being discontinued, I went to every grocery store in my area and bought as many 12 packs as I could, I ended up with about 15 of them by the time starry started to appear on shelf’s, I currently only have 2 cans left, I have them so well hidden cause my family will get to them if I don’t, I will get around to drink them eventually but for now they will remain a time capsule of by gone era 😢
I need more sierra misr, could i get the recipe.
I remember Storm (was in Omaha at the time). I did have to laugh tho as the fast food places specifically noted that the Storm in their fountain machines was caffiene-free. So yeah at one of your major distribution points your big distinctions gets removed...awesome.
slice was great. sierra mist was awful. if i drink lemon/line it will be sprite, but i was buying more slice than sprite back in the day. starry is ok, much better than sierra mist, but my family prefers sprite, so i'm stuck.
Starry isn’t terrible, and I have nothing against 7UP, but your best bet would be to stick with Sprite.
Trying to think back what Sierra Mist, but I think I was lowket obsessed with it in 2012. Then I actually got taste buds and realized it tasted...fake? (ironic with the use of real sugar, huh?)
I give my pinky toe for dr. slice to be a thing again.
I wouldn’t mind going through life knowing that exists
Dr. Thunder is the best Dr. Pepper knockoff though.
Squirt is the leader in grapefruit soda. Nobody is even trying to compete
I honestly really like Starry, it's a soft lemon-lime flavor with some nice sweetness. I still prefer A-Treat over all of them though
Pepsi actually has the Rights to sell 7 Up outside of America
Wow, towards the end Sierra Mist was only selling to German tourists who wanted the can as a joke item.
I remember drinking Storm many times in the late 90s (I must have been one of the 12) and remember it being really good. Although I can’t remember if it was actually good or just the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia.
I lived in Denver when Storm was a thing so I wasn't even aware that it was a limited test market. Count me as one of the twelve.
Pepsi's biggest asset was right under its nose the whole time and it was never enough for them! The Citrus soft drink Mountain Dew, which in some markets, is an even bigger seller than Pepsi itself! No need to go out searching for a "green labeled" drink that starts with the letter "S" to compete with Sprite! Also, I'm glad you mentioned Teem. That was one of those drinks that was never sold in stores where I lived, but like Mr. Pibb, it was a regular fountain drink at my local Whataburger, and would get it every time I saw it available. Methinks they should have stuck with Teem!
Seems like Starry is as popular as Crystal Pepsi
i had starry at a theater, i really thought it was some cheap off brand soda from the branding
Sierra Mist made with real sugar was actually great and the holiday cranberry version was even better! Idk why they tried to change everything.
I never saw Teem in stores; it was only available at one local restaurant in the early-1980s.
My Mother was a huge fan of Diet Sierra Mist. Since it was not sold here in Canada, we would bring back large quantities of it. On one trip, we had like 10 or 12 cases of the stuff -- I feared that we would considered commercial importers.
pepsi can’t except the fact nothing is dethroning sprite as the best lemon lime soda
When I was a kid, our area Pepsi bottler didn't distribute Teem. It had a license with Dad's/Bubble up. It's been decades, but Starry seems to me to be reminiscent of Bubble up. Can't predict if the market will agree, but I like it.
In my country, Greece, Pepsi's lemon-lime soda is actually 7up. It's always been CocaCola/Sprite vs. Pepsi/7up here. I'm 45 years old and only recently did I realize that 7up isn't actually a Pepsico brand in the rest of the world.
I loved strawberry slice as a kid. Wish they would bring that back so I could make ice cream floats with it.
Cranberry Sierra Mist was the best soda ever to be made and I miss it so bad. My family used to buy out all of aldi's stock before they stopped selling for the season which would last us about 3/4 a year to the next selling period
So back in the 1920's-1970's there was a soda company here in Niagara Falls, Canada called Niagara Dry Beverages. They mostly produced Niagara Dry Ginger Ale but also produced other sodas such as a Triple Soda, a Ginger Beer, and a Lemon-Lime Rickey. They also produced a side-brand called Sky-Hy which included a Ginger Ale, an Orange soda, a Cream soda and Root beer. Pepsi later purchased the company in the late 1970's, but ended up phasing it out entirely. I am a local Niagara Falls resident and an avid collector of Niagara Dry/Sky-Hy items. I've got a wall full of bottles, cans, some wooden crates, some cardboard carriers, a small bit of signage/advertising pieces, and a bunch of unused labels. I also run a "book of faces" page as a historical archive of it.
Pepsi is like Pokémon, they keep on trying to make a successful thing again when they made that successful thing.
"MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE BEST SODA EVER MADE"
truuueee I'm literally drinking a voltage rn 🔥🔥
Well.. to be fair, PepsiCo owns 7-up internationally.
Storm by far was the best also if u want to try the best lemon lime soda try Mt. Sprecher it’s by far the best lemon lime soda and they have a non caffeinated and a caffeinated version that has 90mg of caffeine which is more than Mt. Dew also it tastes different from Mt. Dew it dosent taste like a knockoff and instead of using sugar or high fructose corn syrup they use organic honey
I completely forgot about Slice, that’s crazy. Slice seemed like such a staple when I was a kid but now I remember Storm better than I remember Slice, and nobody remembers Storm.
I was a teen in the 80s so everyone drank Slice and it was the go to mixer for harder beverages lol .
So far, at a convention, people were like what the fuck is starry?
I cant wait for the Nickelodeon video! Keep up the good work Luis!
thanks for being a viewer! really means a lot :)
No one can really wait pal
Sierra Mist, while not being popular with all, was probably the best thing they had going. The official bottled and canned sodas claimed to use normal sugar as opposed to the hfcs that's in every soda nowadays.
I'm a bemused UK inhabitant. Can someone explain how this history and the history of 7up fit together? I was especially confused at 2:28 with the "Slice" advert with Fido Dido, wasn't he the 7up mascot??
It looks like he is a Pepsi lemon lime mascot, though I could be wrong
this is going to sound strange but i was at a church even well over a decade ago when pepsi first launched sierra mist. they were promoting it everywhere offering free cans and shirts. so every easter sunday i remember when soda usurped the resurrection in terms of interest since it was quite hot outside.
I was salty when MTN DEW ICE was discontinued, it was my favorite soda at the time.
Yeah I want a sprite with caffeine.
I never realized I was in a test market for storm, but I drank a bunch of it in middle school
hyped for the nick story 💥💥 btw great vid bro
Storm was also test marketed in Fort Wayne, Indiana - which is not the same market as Indianapolis. I quite liked it back then TBH.
Tbh never liked Sierra Mist. It tasted too "flat"
Also Coke>>Pepsi!
Sprite is simply unmatched
@@AmusingLuis true. That and 7Up!
and also Mountain Dew!
All Pepsi products taste flat and syrupy
@@rockyrococo2584That's a bit overreaching lol
Yeah Pepsi never got it right with the lemon lime. And I generally prefer their products. Meanwhile 7up is still holding its own
7Up is the original
I’ll never understand why Pepsi got rid of Slice. That stuff was good. Especially the orange and apple varieties.
To me, this is hilarious, because my area's (Southern Illinois) local Pepsi bottler, Pepsi Mid-America, has also been the local Dr. Pepper/Seven Up bottler for years.
Starry's probably the best one they've made, it's really good.
It’s my go to now! If theres a Starry I grab it! Spirte is still fine but Starry is superior.
... They're both lemon-lime sodas?
@@lordmarshmal_0643Yes. Starry is Pepsi's Lemon Lime soda and Sprite is Coke's Lemon Lime. Sprite came first though. They both taste vastly different IMO.
I really liked Slice
I actually liked orange slice, I kind of got ticked when they discontinued it. Probably one of the better orange sodas readily available outside of Dollar store brands.
Starry showed up one day instead of Sierra mist. We'd sell out of Sierra in about a week (2 weeks between stocks), while starry sits for months. No one knows what it is, where it came from, or why it's there. I tried it too, and it tastes like someone took carbonated water and put not enough lemon juice in it with preservatives.
Great to see another great appetizer, while we wait for the main course. (That being the Nickelodeon video.) Awesome video!! 👌
heck yeah dude. these vids are just quicker to make. i sure wish we could make the "History of" videos fast 😆
“Starry: it’s different” is funny as fuck bro it’s literally just sprite
I always thought Mountain Dew ice was a rebrand of Storm, yes I remember and liked storm ! It was pretty good so was ice.
Orange slice was my jam in middle school. So good.
Slice was the best. Unfortunately someone else bought it and turned it into an all natural diet soda. The lemon-lime version tastes like mildly sweetened lime juice - not good. But neither Sierra Mist nor Starry holds a candle to the old Slice. I actually liked the short-lived Mist Twst which tasted a lot like how I remember Slice, but from a branding perspective it was just confusing.
Really, Pepsi should just strike a deal to distribute 7 UP nationally. Just like in other countries, and like what they do here in the US with Crush and Schweppes.
Slice started its Downfall in 1988 when Pepsi Co Stupidly removed the Lemon Juice twist from it. Sierra Mist was AMAZING. But Pespi Co continues to show how truly STUPID they are when they kept CHANGING the formula when NOBODY asked them to. Starry SUCKS. It'll be gone within a few years.Watch.
That mandarin orange Slice was the best damn fruit soda ever made.
I’m old enough to remember all but Teem and Storm (because I wasn’t in a test market). Most of the time, like my approach to Coke/Pepsi, I could go either way between Sprite and the Pepsi alternatives, but I definitely lean towards Sprite. When it comes to cola, I lean towards Pepsi, but some of those limited Coke flavors are pretty good, like the Spiced.
Mtn Dew Ice was pretty good, but it probably failed because it was Sierra Mist in costume.
I hate that every soda now has to be healthy like bro lemme do what I wanna do
Not their own version of Sprite, but their own version of 7-Up. Sprite is Coke’s own version of 7-Up.
Honorable mention needs to go to 7Up. Although not technically a Pepsi product, many Pepsi distributors (especially in the 70's/80's) were also distrbutors for 7Up, and thus 7Up was offered alongside Pepsi as a fountain drink.
2:18 literally 1984
All this time, I never knew Pepsi has been screwing around with the formula. Explains everything. Sierra Mist always bugged me.
This stuff is weirdly fascinating to me as a Canadian. Here, 7up is bottled by Pepsi. Sprite vs 7up is about as natural as Coke vs Pepsi.
Pepsi purchased an older Canadian soda brand as well. I left a solo comment on my own explaining this, but I'll quote it here too:
"So back in the 1920's-1970's there was a soda company here in Niagara Falls, Canada called Niagara Dry Beverages. They mostly produced Niagara Dry Ginger Ale but also produced other sodas such as a Triple Soda, a Ginger Beer, and a Lemon-Lime Rickey.

Sierra Mist, with it's real sugar was far superior. Starry is nasty
I feel like Slice was a perfectly good brand name. maybe they should just bring back Teem
I miss mountain dew ice
Dr Slice is the ONLY Dr soda.
4:53 DAVID SPADE 💯
I liked Citra, that was a great drink imo.
Also I talked to a guy who delivered Coke to the school I worked at and he said the only thing pepsi out sells coke with is Mountain Dew, Coke out sells Pepsi in everything else.
I actually went to a pizza place back in April and they still had Sierra Mist on their soda fountain.
expired ass soda 😭😭😭😭
nah its probably Starry, they just haven't changed the label lol
i remember briefly when they renamed sierra mist to twist mist, and then shortly after reverted back to sierra mist
I grew up in Sacramento and very clearly remember Storm. I never knew I was being test marketed.
Out here in the west coast, we don't got no Starry. We still drank Sierra Mist. Liked and subbed.
I love the Cola Battle.
Only thing i hated worse than Sierra Mist was having to chug a load of it mixed with basically chalk powder when i had a scan to see if my gallbladder had failed, it had. They mixed the medicine that was meant to protect me from radiation and was like drinking liquid plaster mixed with Sierra Mist. Bonus a few hours later you poo out mildly radioactive bright yellow Nickelodeon slime.
On a happier i note i really miss Dr. Slice. It was more like Cheerwine, a regional soda, than Dr. Pepper and i loved it. Cherry Dr. Pepper comes close now days.
I loved Sierra mist. I'm legitimately disappointed that it's gone
Starry is just a real weird name for a soda
I live an hour north of Philly and we had Storm. Loved that soda.
But Pepsi owns 7up don’t they?
I was surprised Storm was only available in 9 cities (my area being one of them) I thought that was everywhere. I also remember Coke’s version of Squirt called Citra around the same time Storm was around.
I live in Milwaukee and your photo for it had me rolling. 🤣🤣
i love how "sierra mist" is literally just "mountain dew" written with different words. pepsi has one hell of marketing department. -_-
Sierra Mist natural was amazing... I was so sad when it was discontinued.
Starry is actually really good.
Marketing is annoying though
starry tastes like it has fake sugar in it, it sucks.
