Pepsi is ditching a LONGTIME soda....and replacing it with.....

• Pepsi is ditching Sierra Mist. 

• The company is launching a new lemon-lime soda called Starry, which will replace the Mist. 

• Pepsi execs say despite 24 years on the market, Sierra Mist never cut into Sprite’s sales because people saw it as an “imitation of Sprite.”

• Pepsi says Starry is fruitier and more aromatic that Sierra Mist.

• The caffeine-free drink comes in regular and sugar-free versions and will be available this week in grocery and convenience stores.

• Will you try Starry? What's your soda of choice?
