Pepsi is reaching for the stars in its latest effort to take on Sprite.

Starry, a new lemon-lime soda, is rolling out to grocery and convenience stores this week. It’s replacing Sierra Mist, a 24-year-old brand that has failed to gain traction against market leader Sprite, which is owned by main rival Coca-Cola\n \n . Pepsi’s internal research showed that “demand for lemon lime flavored soda has never been greater,” the company said in a statement.

Sales data from Beverage Digest given to CNN shows that Sierra Mist’s share of the soda market barely exceeding a tenth of 1% and has been on the decline for at least the past five years. Sprite, meanwhile, has grown its share of the soda market over the same time period to nearly 8%.

I would like to taste this Brand

lol i saw that stuff and thought it was some offbrand faygo type stuff.

Welcoming development. Congratulations!

Sprite tastes like a pile of shit. Shouldn’t be hard

this looks like a drink you'd hear radio ads for in a GTA game

Not gonna sale

Who gets paid to come up with these names? This is terrible. Imagine saying you're drinking a Starry.

Interesting. is it going to taste like sprite?

What was 7-Up supposed to be then?

Saw this at the grocery store yesterday and had to do a double take 👀

Seems like no one has been standing next to you, ever.

Just had it, it sucked. Tasted like flat Sierra Mist.

I like the branding but not the content .

Did pepsi pay you for this add? I thought was supposed to be news.

rest assured they've spent zero money on development and billions on relabeling old sierra mist bottles and marketing...

So Mountain Dew 👍🏼

Free advertisement?

Not very inventive what’s a “Starry”

so they renamed sierra mist?

Looks like Brazilian insurrectionists.

It tastes OK but Sprite is better

Names totally weird.

Doomed for failure.
