Got this picture in a Pepsi Stuff email to be one of the first to try-but whenever I clicked the link to Try it said not a winner-I guess its coming out sometime soon...

Good find, ohpepsidude!

The logo on the bottle seems to matchup with the ones Pepsi included in their trademark filing back in December:

If I'm not mistaken, this product may be a tie-in to the upcoming Get Smart movie in June.

And is it just me, or is that a clear drink? Could the idea of it being "undercover" be that's it's an orange soda that doesn't look like an orange soda?

Or perhaps Sierra Mist Remix?

Sounds interesting.

On a similar note, it appears that Cranberry Splash is here to stay, at least around my parts.

2 liter looks like photo in first post but the the characters from the Get Smart Movie are on the label where the blue and yellow are. Taste is fair, Sierra Mist with a hint of orange. It is a clear soda in a clear bottle.

Well, I'm able to confirm the look of the bottle that ohpepsidude previously posted as I was able to find this drink at a local Walgreen's here in Chicago. And drpep is right... the "Get Smart" characters are on the side. Here are some photos:

Overall, I found it to be pretty good when you consider the fact that it's based on what I consider a inferior lemon lime drink. The orange flavor is subtle, a little sweet. The difference is the tail of the beverage experience and the aftertaste... both are somewhat different. ('Mandarin' orange and HFCS probably a factor). If interested, more photos and a full review here.

I really wanted to love this drink, but it ended up be somewhat so-so. Not a bad flavor overall, but could be so much better. This drink makes you kinda miss Orange Slice! Smile

I just want a bottle because Steve Carell is on the label.

I was alright, but it wasn't the best tasting beverage I've ever had.

I had the diet version, very good I like it.
I was a bit disapointed that the acme only had regular in 2 liters so I got a 20 ounce of it.

I just tried the diet version tonight. Nothing too memorable, but not terrible either.

The flavor was far more subtle than I was expecting...but that can be a good thing too, when you consider how some flavors can be too strong or sweet in certain sodas.

It has some novelty value for Sierra Mist at the moment, but I doubt it really has the staying power of Cranberry Splash.

Tried it last night, and loved it. It really tastes a lot like a lemon-lime soda with an orange slice squeezed into it. I also seem to taste a stronger hint of lime than in regular SM, but maybe that's just me.

So far SM is 3 for 3 with flavor extensions - now if only they could improve the regular product!
