I used to love Sierra Mist. I never knew why they changed it to Starry, and now nonody buys it at my store. Hell we even had coupons first few months that we started selling it, and nobody bought it.
@TrillMurray
I thought they just rebranded it to distract from the fact that they switched from sugar to high fructose corn syrup
@MarkARoutt
Looking at the TM info, Pepsi still holds the rights to the name. It never lapsed and in fact was re applied in 2017. Looking at the tadr website for Sierra Mist will show there were no proceedings or legal issues that came of this trademark. I think that Pepsi won't make a statement because this is all public information that can be found pretty easily.
@amadddd0
And now nobody drinks Starry
@ord3r781
My old school’s concession stand sold Sierra Mist for years, it only ever sold okay. The moment they switched to Starry, the remaining Mists sold in days.

As much as I love your content, Mike, this case isn't a case, it's just a rumour that the content creator started. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records indicate that PepsiCo's trademark for Sierra Mist remains active and has not lapsed.
@cruxmind
Trademarks are lethal man. My friend has a trademark but a company tried to get a domain with his trademark name. They got the domain name and realized that they couldn't commercialize it because "someone already trademarked it."

Nobody ever talks about 7up. The only lemon-lime soda that has a hint of lemon-lime 😂
@bigtomar
was half expecting him to say "and that was how we got 7 up."
@QPatriot07
They also reformulated it. Sierra Mist tasted better than Starry, but Sprite tastes better than either!
@JoHillz
My Grandma loved sierra mist ... Both the drink & the content 😂
@bertdog2119
Everyone forgetting about the brief period of time where we had Mist Twist. Mist Twist I believe was identical in formula, but Starry had a distinctly different one from Sierra Mist.
@lw6866
It was very sad. The last large brand American soda that used cane sugar. I stopped drinking soda after Sierra Mist was pulled.
@myblackvanity
I loved Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash! Bought as many as I could during the holidays.
@McBehrer
I was WONDERING what happened to Sierra Mist
@SamSepiol59
Actually, look up the trademarks. She made this story up.
@Saimeren
I always though 7up was the Pepsi version of Sprite.
@X_Warrior_579-dm6ey
I used to love Sierra Mist, and when I found out that Starry was basically just that, I was thrilled!! I’ve only ever used it as a sprite alternative though.
@eddie-roo
This story is actually not true. No letters were sent, there wasn’t any conflict. Cierra just wanted to stir up fake drama to seem more interesting and gain notoriety while Sierra Mist just happened to be phased out. Also, trademarks are specifically for a certain area of products and services. Trademarking Sierra Mist in the food and beverages category would not give them the right to pursue anyone using a similar name in the adult video industry and viceversa. Please stop spreading misinformation.
