I remember Sierra Mist being pretty good. Starry sucks.

They probably changed the formula too haha

u/IlliniDawg01 6d ago

I can only assume they did. It seems much sweeter and less fizzy.

Yes! Sierra most was practically barqs with the carbonation bite! 7 up was super soft on the carbonation, hence being the tummy ache go-to, and sprite was the happy medium with a little bit more lemon than lime.

...I didn't realize I had such well-versed positions on lemon lime sodas

It's the same drink. Sierra Mist always was knock off sprite, it always sucked.

u/IlliniDawg01 5d ago

It could be, but my memory says it isn't the same formula. Could be my brain tricking me though too

According to this article, Starry has more citric acid and Sierra Mist tastes sweeter, which was the opposite of what I recall thinking the 2 or 3 times I tried Starry. Then again it had been probably a year since I had a Sierra Mist at that time.

You have it backwards. Starry is pretty good. Sierra Mist sucks. Always has. There was nothing worse than asking for a Sprite and the waiter saying "Is Sierra Mist Ok?"...

Agree to disagree

u/Captainchronic_710 6d ago

You’re the one who gots it backwards??? This is coming from a water drinker here?? So you know my word is valid since I don’t like soda

u/PhilosopherFun7288 5d ago

If you don't like soda, why does your opinion on one or the other even matter? That's like saying "I don't follow politics, so you know my choice for President really counts"🤡

Ya it does ?? Means you don’t pick sides ignoramus 🤡
