We all know and love the delicious lemon-lime soda, Sierra Mist. Well, unfortunately, we won’t be able to enjoy it much longer, so if you’re a huge fan, grab some while you can. Pepsi has decided to exhile Sierra Mist and welcome in a brand new version of said soda called STARRY.
STARRY will feature the same sort of lemon-lime flavors and still comes in both regular and zero-sugar versions, much like Sierra Mist did!
Will you be trying STARRY? If so, let us know your thoughts down in the comments below so we can talk, compare, and debate all about it!
Since 2019, there have been some serious increases in the demand for lemon-lime-flavored sodas. Because of that, Pepsi has decided to answer said demands with a brand new soda! With the slogan, “STARRY hits different”, Pepsi is looking to revamp the world of lemon-lime sodas as this particular category still seems to be seeing some serious acceleration in demand.
Here’s what an early press-release had to say all about launching said new product(s):
"“…STARRY is easy to drink, optimally sweet, and delivers both an exceptional taste and flavor experience. STARRY is caffeine-free and is available in a variety of sizes to provide a refreshing burst of lemon lime flavor for every occasion.”"

Danielle Barbaro, Vice President (VP) R & D over at PepsiCo Beverages North America, had this to say about what they’ve since been able to create with their brand new lemon-lime soda:
"“With STARRY, we were able to create a game-changing recipe with the perfect balance of lemon and lime flavor and sweetness compared to the competition.” ~ Danielle Barbaro"
In the coming months, there will be a series of announcements, as well as commercials to further promote this brand new particular product(s). This also includes “a national TV commercial, 360 digital and social content and large-scale sports, culture, and entertainment partnerships!

I actually found it in a local grocery store of mine and was able to get my hands on a couple bottles and try it. I gotta be honest with you: from the words of my Mom, I truly think it’s just the same old Sierra Mist with a different brighter label slapped onto it. To me, it tastes absolutely no different!
Have you had a chance to try STARRY yet? If so, how was it and if not, will you ever? Let’s chat all about that and so so much more down in the comments below! As always…drink up, y’all and enjoy!
