See, for instance, https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/business/starry-launch-sierra-mist/index.html

The last time I can remember getting 7-Up on fountain was before it was displaced by Sierra Mist.
I guess it's too much to hope that this is 7-Up's chance to make a comeback!

I still remember an extensive Amtrak trip I took in 2002, where the dining car servers kept telling people that the sodas available were "Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Sierra Mist," and no one knew what Sierra Mist was. (Amtrak has since switched to Coca-Cola products.)

If I recall correctly, Sierra Mist was a replacement for Slice (which came in several flavors, including lemon-lime). Perhaps it's time for Pepsi to think outside the box and come up with a name that doesn't start with S.
