They've redone Sierra Mist's graphics:

Didn't see this one coming. I like the logo, but I'm not too crazy of the wavy lines or the fruit slice.

I like the wavy lines and fruit slice just fine. The whole thing looks very sleek... and reminds me a bit of the late-90s Slice logo. Much better than any of the Pepsi product designs from the last year and change.

I see they're saying 100% natural flavors now... wonder if it tastes any better.

Naah, the formula didn't change. They're just advertising the natural flavors on the front now, like 7Up.

Aw, that's horrible. I liked the previous one that looked like the mid 90s.

I wonder if the new imaging every year indicates just how bad sales really are.

They can keep trying different designs but I am still not buying it. I don't think there is anything special about it at all.

The regular may not be so great, but I think they've had a few good line extensions, like Ruby Splash and Lemon Squeeze.

I've actually liked all of the flavors they've had so far EXCEPT the original.

Didn't like Ruby Splash. The Cranberry Splash is OK. Never had the Undercover Orange. But I loved the Lemon Squeeze.

Have yet to see the new bottle first hand but I like it..it is pretty "sleek" as someone put it.

FYI SM has been taking market share from my understanding for some time now in the lemon-lime category for a few years. Sprite has changed its logo how many times almost ironically as well?

Baltimore is now producing SM with the new graphics. I also found basketball-themed coupons on a few of them, and they picture the diet and diet Ruby Splash graphics as well.

Update: Just checked www.sierramist.com - they've got all the new graphics up there. Sadly, looks like regular Ruby Splash is discontinued.

Cranberry Splash reg/diet still have the old graphics on the site and in the stores.

Well, once again, thumbs up to Pepsi for making flavors easy to tell apart again. I had to look closely to tell regular, diet, and Ruby Splash apart with the previous look. Cranberry Splash looked more distinctive though... and it seems like that product perpetually lags behind with graphics, as the latest run of the flavors actually still had the OLD old graphics at first.
