tpooleinjax Posted January 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Not that I was ever bothered by Serra Mist (especially after you add enough vodka) but according to Pepsi, they are discontinuing the brand and replacing it with a new lemon-lime soda called Starry.

Rare sparks1093 Posted January 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hopefully Starry will be more palatable. Neither of us are a big fan of Sierra Mist. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2tcdx2 Posted January 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I was never a fan of the Sierra Mist either, I have also never cared for 7-Up, but I can tolerate Sprite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted January 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Interesting, I am not a huge fan of Sierra Mist either so maybe this will be better. Sprite is my favorite with 7up a close 2nd. I do mocktails of Cranberry/Sprite, Pineapple/Sprite, Sprite/shot of cherry (yes Shirley Temple), and my favorite is Sprite/Pineapple/Shot of Cherry. So maybe this will make them a little better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailin_Pirate Posted January 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Sierra Mist changed formula at some point. It was good now it's ugh. I hope Starry is better , but it's probably just a name change and a stupid one at that. No I didn't read the article , but cranberry sierra most was tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted January 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I used to take either Sprite or Sierra Mist with my vodka (based on what line I was on, and which brand they were carrying, that year!) Now, I just get it with Club Soda and, as a result, don't drink them nearly as fast --- good thing! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allinwonderland Posted January 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2023 When it's in a soda fountain I really can't tell the difference between Sprite and Sierra Mist. Idk if having cans is different. (I also don't drink colas so I have no horse in that fight.) However, do we think this means Starry will be on Carnival ships starting this week? Or worse, that there may be NO lemon-lime sodas for a while as they're dealing with this change in product/branding and getting new product from all suppliers? The latter would actually bother me since I have a cruise next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don’t drink it specifically, my neighbor does with her light rum, but only because they don’t have diet sprite anymore. I’ll send her the info so she can check it out before being stuck with it on a cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted January 12, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The last cruise I was on, Sunshine in September 2022, they actually had Sprite. I don't know if it was due to a supply chain issue and they couldn't get enough Sierra Mist or what was going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare slavigne5577 Posted January 12, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Well, my go-to drink is Sprite zero and Tito's. So we made do with the diet Sierra Mist and Tito's. I hope there's something close in diet form. I can not have all the sugar. 2 days to wait see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak89 Posted January 12, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Pepsi products + mixed drinks= YUCK!!!! 🤣😁🤣 Never since the beginning of time has anyone walked into a bar and said: Rum and Pepsi please! Seven and Mountain Dew! I'm conflicted, as we are cruising with a Cheers! promotion, but can't stomach the idea of Crown and Pepsi 😭 So lot's of martinis, tequila sunrises and salty dogs and "neat" drinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer Sprite, but Sierra Mist and orange juice doesn't taste terrible. I order a virgin mimosa at the diamond and platinum party before ordering a peach smoothie. I don't know what a Sierra Mist mimosa would taste like if you added alcohol. I don't drink alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Dew is not the same as 7-Up, so you're right, no one WOULD say 7&Dew. But yeah, from years of running a bar, I assure you people do order Rum and Pepsi all the time, and probably half the time you order rum and coke (and it comes from a gun), you're getting Pepsi anyway. Oh, and if you can taste the difference between coke and Pepsi in your crown, you've got way too much cola. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This zero sugar I have right here tastes an awful lot like sprite zero. Now whether they have it on board or not, who knows?

Sailin_Pirate Posted January 13, 2023 #23 Share Posted January 13, 2023 My taste buds are wonky and I'm an equal opportunity soda drinker(whatever is on sale that's not store brand). Starry is way better than Sierra Mist and reminds of Squirt/7-Up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
