Pepsi dumps Sierra Mist, debuts new lemon-lime soda to compete with Sprite

(WXIN) – Pepsi is pouring Sierra Mist down the drain in favor of its new Starry soda.

Starry, available at U.S. retailers this week, appears to be Pepsi’s attempt to compete with Sprite, a Coca-Cola product which far outsells its similarly flavored counterparts across the globe.
