I don't think SM really has to improve on much of anything...years ago, I thought nobody could beat Sprite in the Lemon/Lime soda department, but SM has been able to give them strong competition.
SM also goes really well with Mexican food, IMO. |

| I just find original SM to be very bland. But then again I'm not a big fan of Sprite or the current "natural" 7 Up either. |

| I found undercover orange today and gave it a try. It's ok, then again I've never been overly awestruck by lemon-lime sodas. Which is odd as I collect 7-UP bottles. |

It's ok to collecting packaging of a product you like. I like the packaging of Kraft Marshmallows, but I HATE marshmallows.

| Kind of disappointing that we haven't seen any new Sprite flavors in the past few years, and just the pomegranate 7Up from Cadbury (which I saw in a store the other day!) |

I miss a new flavored cola every six months.

Do the cans have the movie characters on them?

| Yeah, the cans look just like all of the rest of the packaging. |

Anybody seen this stuff in Jersey/NYC yet? I've looked in several convenience/grocery stores in my area and a couple in the city and haven't found it.
As a VERY frustrated orange soda fan, I'm anxious to give it a shot. |

| I'm in New Brunswick and I'm seeing it in numerous places around here. They had 2 liters and 12-packs of both regular and Free at a ShopRite near me. |

I hear ya, it's the design of the early bottles that attracts me instead of the flavor. The same goes for my Dr. Pepper collection, I'm not a huge fan of the drink; however, I love the vintage packaging. |

Thanks for the tip. Found it at a Shoprite by me. I'll see how the second try goes down. I thought it was alright. The orange flavoring is good, not great, and the Sierra Mist is just a bland soda. I liked Lemon Squeeze but I'm not sure the orange is good enough to cancel out the Mist. |

I had the Free today, tasted rubbery. That might just be Newport News (VA) quality control though.

I found some this morning at Target:
2-liters of Regular, from (TT).
FridgeMates of Regular and Free, from (MR).
No 20-ounce, as of yet. |

| On 2nd try I feel the same... too much mediocre lemon-lime, not enough orange. |
