There’s A New Soda On Store Shelves

There are a few competitions as heated as the battle between big soda brands. The rivalry between Coca-Cola and Pepsi has been legendary. It has produced some of the greatest advertising campaigns and Super Bowl commercials of all time.

But the battle has gone far beyond the top two flavors. Look at the vicious competition between Mountain Dew and Mello Yello. Or the long running three-way battle between top root beer brands, Barq.s , Dad’s and A&W.

And while Coca-Cola and Pepsi will always be the biggest battle, I think few people will disagree that the number two battle is in the lemon lime soda realm. Coca-Cola‘s Sprite and PepsiCo’s Sierra Mist have been battling each other in the marketplace for 24 years. Well, PepsiCo is making a big change, they are dropping Sierra Mist and they are watching a new lemon lime flavor, called Starry.

Starry will be launched in the next week and you’ll soon see it in all major retailers and convenient stores around the country. Sierra Mist just hasn’t made the impact against Sprite that PepsiCo had hoped. So they are revamping the entire flavor with a hot new name and new packaging. Starry will be caffeine free and available in two types, Regular and Zero Sugar.

In a statement from PepsiCo, they said “demand for lemon lime flavored soda has never been greater,”.

A Pepsi spokesperson told CNN that Starry has a “higher citrus flavors that are true to fruit and more aromatic” compared to Sierra Mist.

So, are you excited to try it?

A couple weeks ago, Froggy was at his parents' house and decided to try to find some old pictures. After spending a few minutes, he found a ton of old pictures. Here are a few pictures of a very young Froggy throughout the years. From being a baby with a ton of stitches to a bag boy at Publix. Take a look!

This was me as a baby, and man was I cute or what? That was our fireplace that was used daily as a performance stage. It is the main reason why I have so many scars today.

If you listen to the show you know that Froggy's best friend is Big Lou. As you can see they have been friends for a very very long time. This was my birthday party at Skateworld.

If you look at my face you can see these 2 scars. This was when I fell off my "stage" fire place. I got a ton of stitches but my Mom said the performance was ok.

This was me as a Freshmen at Tampa Catholic. I was so nervous this day because I barely knew anyone. I made friends quickly though, not many girlfriends.

I hated having braces so much , those things were torture. This was back in 5th grade and I rocked so many different color bands. Did anyone else do that?

This is me in my awesome Publix uniforms. I can remember this day like it was yesterday, we just saved Misty the cat that day and I was obsessed with her. This was me on my break from bagging groceries.
