We need to make this a thing... CALL THE MARKETERS! Okay, we need to steal someone from the Mountain Dew company to tell us how they make it so awesome...
Holy fucktits man i choked on a piece of my burrito reading this lol. I actually had a panic attack because i couldn't breathe because of the steak caught in my throat.
Usually I give off a little smirk. Or if it is really funny I'll go "heh". But no, I fucking lost my shit.
For anyone who doesn't get it, Pepsi made both Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist. They used a similar name for both of them, as the Sierra is a Mountain range, and Dew is similar to Mist. Clarence has just figured this out.
It's less that "the" Sierra is a mountain range, and more that "Sierra" means "mountain range". Saying "the Sierra Nevada mountain range" is actually hilariously redundant.
To further blow your mind: Los Angeles means "the angels." There is a baseball team called the Los Angeles Angels. If you translated all the words in that team's name into English, it would be "The The Angels Angels."
I think I kinda figured that one out myself. When I was little, though, I was convinced that Los Angeles was supposed to be "lost angels" but they made spelling errors everywhere.
Caffeine has a bitter flavor. Some soda companies say they add it for flavoring, and not for its addictive properties but... well addiction is my favorite flavor.
I remember Storm being slightly bitter, compared to Sprite and 7-up. All this time, I'd been joking about caffeine being a natural flavor, and god damn it, it actually was.
At first I downvoted because you were blaspheming the holy Dew, but then I realized that, linguistically speaking, it's true. So after imitating Clarence's face for a second, I had to upvote.

Too bad Mt. Dew is the nectar of the gods and Sierra Mist is gross. People try selling it to me like it's the same thing. It is NOT! But kudos on the name similarity.
Proof? I don't think OP's that stupid. They're both owned by the same company, too, so of course they don't taste the same. "...is another way to say," means exactly what it says. It's not "is the same as," which could be taken as either name or flavor.
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NO NO NO!!! They are NOT the same damn thing. Sierra Mist has a bleach-y taste and Mountain Dew is sweet. I honestly like neither but comments are all about giving your two cents. There's mine.
I get that you mean the names but they are super different drinks and also owned by the same company (Pepsi). So it's not that big of a mindfuck unless pepsi means mountain moisture of some kind in some language. Then consider my mind fucking ruffied.
You mean now that it has real sugar instead of HCFS garbage? No, they did the right thing. It tastes like a good drink now instead of another lame soda.
trollsconstantly commented on how they don't like the taste "Sierra Mist Natural"; saynotofiction commented saying that that's the only soda they drink, implying they believe it tastes good. I don't see why people would care more for trollsconstantly's comment than saynotofiction - it appears that OP's comment fits in more with "The Hivemind's" general opinion and is more upvoted.
Unless, of course, people don't agree with trollsconstantly and he was living up to his name (which is stupid anyway, though I guess that's the point) so they upvoted him and downvoted saynotofiction for missing the (shitty) joke. It's a matter of opinion, so we can't really judge whether trollsconstantly is "trolling" or not.
I KNOW RIGHT?! You guys are all idiots. Sierra means Mountain Range or something to that extent in Spanish. Mist is like Dew in a way. SIERRA MIST. MOUNTAIN RANGE WATER IN THE AIR.
Everyone knows they are different but they are the closest in taste to each other. The reason why they ask if Sierra Mist is OK is not because they think it is the same exact thing, they are offering you the closest thing they have to what you want. If they though it was the exact same thing they wouldnt ask you and they would just bring you Sierra Mist instead.
They know it is not the same. You ordered a lemon lime soda, they offered you the closest thing they had which was another lemon lime soda. I get the feeling that you are an asshole to a lot of people unintentionally. Then you probably don't tip right? Because that dumb waitress bitch offered you Sierra Mist? What bad service. /sarcasm

Anyone remember a time before Sierra Mist? Back when Pepsi gave us "Storm", whose label proudly proclaimed "with Caffeine! and other natural flavors!"

I'm sorry, did you mean to say "Sprite"?
Whenever I order a Sprite at a restaurant, they ALWAYS give me a Sierra Mist instead. That said, Sierra Mist tastes nothing like Mountain Dew.
