- You ask, I deliver. The brand new Starry lemon lime soda by Pepsi is up against the outgoing Sierra Mist, Coca Cola's Sprite, and 7up. Bias is out the window as I blindly taste them all. Let's just say I clearly don't drink any of these enough...

#new #soda #tastetest #review #starry - บันเทิง
I would definitely choose Starry over Sprite after trying the new soda. I like the flavor profile and the finish of Starry. With Sprite, while it’s up there, doesn’t really make me want to drink more, I always felt it needed more of a kick/after taste.
🤖
Starry over Sprite, however Sprite Zero is better than Starry Zero, hands down.
I prefer Pepsi over Coke as well, however Coke has better “Zero” flavors. Much less of that artificial sweetener aftertaste and the flavor is close enough to the original that I don’t miss it. I typically drink zero calorie soda so I’m usually drinking Coke Zero/ Sprite Zero.
In drinkin one now!!! Ain't it so good!
The reason why I chose starry over sprite is cause to me, it tastes like a combo of Mountain Dew sprite AND a little bit of Squirt. And it doesn’t make me thirsty for more like most other sodas do.
I just tried Starry and it reminds me a lot like Slice. I think Pepsi finally hit a homerun with this one but I think Sprite now is just gonna be hard to beat simply due to brand recognition.
I think Pepsi co needs to do free demo tastings of starry in the grocery store I think it will give it a better shot if someone gets to taste it for free instead of having to buy a bottle
Is this an ad for Starry!?
No it’s a blind taste test where I ended up liking Starry the best. It happens.
I know I was just being sarcastic.@@PapiEats
Haha you’re fine, there are enough comments on this video where I guarantee they genuinely believe that 🤦🏻♂️
Lmaooooo this video! So entertaining. Starry blew your mind ✨️ 💛 😂🤣
Best video you've ever done, was rooting so hard for Starry
Your horse won the race
That was great! Thanks for doing that! Always appreciate your videos
Thanks Felix!
Love your videos man! Whenever I'm eating or having a drink, I look for the video in which you consume the same thing and enjoy with you! You deserve more subs, really! 💪
Aw thanks!
This video is goated. Very well done Papi.
Thanks!
I just tried Starry and I find it more lemon-y 🤩
This video was absolutely amazing. Seeing the mind get blown is so satisfying hahaha
I’m still distraught haha
I haven't drank sprite-like soda for years. At some point, they all turned into sugary water for me. I'd take a pepsi or even coke over any one of these. If I really crave lemony soda, I just mix lemonade and sparkling water ;)
I honestly can't drink soda in general anymore. If I feel thristy it means our bodies need water. Want some flavor? Drink 100% juice. Soda is trash. It'll have you with rotten teeth at 35 looking like you've been smoking meth for about 45 yrs lol. 😅
Great video! It’s amazing that the brand names are so engrained in our heads that we sometimes don’t realize that there’s better tasting sodas out there. I recall back in the day going to the grocery store and doing the coke, Pepsi, RC cola blind taste test challenge, and RC cola won with so many. You really don’t know until you do a blind taste test….. Go Starry!!!
Tried Starry zero sugar today and thought it had so much flavor and so good better than was expecting
PepsiCo has had a hard time in the Lemon-Lime soda game. First they had Teem, Slice, Storm (only 2 years), Sierra Mist, and Mountain Dew ICE.
Yep, Pepsi finally has their wannabe Sprite in Starry lol
And Mist Twist as well
@@slywerk5070No. I'm with you on that.
Mist Twist was my favorite lemon lime soda ever
I liked Sierra Mist better than Sprite. I don't care for their new lemon-lime soda.
This is the first time seeing any of your videos. How fun! I was ordering delivery and saw Starry, what must’ve been on sale because it was a dollar vs the rest being two and up. I thought it was a store brand. Now I’ll have to try it.
Starry is delicious, ive never really liked any lemon lime soda until this one
This was definitely a fun one! You should do a test test on cola’s!
Thanks!!
I second that idea.
Love 7-UP one of my only favorite lemon lime soda drinks to this day. Brings back good memories if I ever felt sick when little my mom would let me drink some. To this day if I'm super sick I'll drink 7-UP unless it's really bad sore throat like I had in pandemic. Then I'll drink hot tea which is better for the throat.
Excellent video. Might need to try this myself!
Thank you!!
This one was good. Great video😂
the video i didnt know i needed
Omg do more like this I love it
Deal!
Starry has the carbonation that people say McDonald's Sprite has, but much more of a lime bite to it. I think Sprite's best flavor is their Lymonade flavor, basically Sprite with more lime. Sprite Lymonade and Starry feel more comparable than regular Sprite and Starry.
Excellent video man
Much like we do blind beer reviews in the BeerTube world, it's ALWAYS awesome to see these types of reviews. I actually did the same thing -- almost -- with two of my cousins a few years back, but since Starry wasn't a thing, we just went with an off-brand lemon-lime flavor, and we ended up with Wegmans. So it was Sprite, 7 UP, Sierra Mist and Wegmans. We tried to guess them, and my younger cousin NAILED all of them, which was surprising. However, the general consensus on what we liked most-to-least favorite was, in order, Sprite-7 UP-Wegmans-Sierra Mist. In fact, we all agreed Sierra Mist was bad. Like, not bad as in "it's bad for a soda pop," bad as in "we don't want to drink that." Most soda pop I find drinkable because it's mostly sugar water, but Sierra Mist was just flat-out terrible when we did the blind review.
At the end of the day, reviews like this are the best way to really see what your taste buds prefer, because even if you try to go into all reviews without being bias, we all have, at the very least, some sort of bias towards certain things in life. This was a fun watch, Papi, and I hope you do some more. Would love to see a cola, orange and maybe even root beer blind taste test. I know you don't drink as much of those (especially full sugar), but it's incredibly fun to watch, and the results always produce some fun times, haha! I'd say do a Mellow Yellow vs. Mtn Dew vs. off-brand Dew (like Mountain Lightning from Walmart), too. I think you'd nail Mtn Dew ... but there's only one way to find out!
Fantastic review, buddy.
Cheers!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!! I love the Mtn Dew comparison idea. Might have to buy the stuff for that tomorrow!
Wegmans represent
Fun video! Now I want to try.
papiEats thanks for informing me on why starry is great and i shall get it thankyou and have a great day papi
Loved this kind taste test. More please. P.S. I’ve always been a 7Up fan.
Hated and underrated
to me 7 UP has a more natural taste like i can taste actual lemon/lime. i am curious to try starrry.
Man just caught up and watched this. This was leggit! I can see the marketers for Starry jumping up and down saying see. People only like Sprite because of the label lol. Starry is actually pretty banging! Great video man
This was a fun video! I would love to see you do the same test with the zero sugar versions next.
Yeah? I’ll pick em up
@@PapiEats yes please! This was fun!
If you can do the "Zero" versions 🙏🙏
Don’t drink those they all have Aspartame which is really bad for your health. Including hair loss etc. 😢
@@drewblanche not sure what fake news pseudo science you’re following but that’s not true
Hahahaha! 1st vid of yours I watched... To funny.... Subbed 😛
Thank you!
Papi Eats this has to be by far my favorite video that you made. Maybe it’s nostalgia or just the fact that it’s Starry that came on top. For some reason before watching I some how felt that Starry would win lol
Im drinking a Starry Zero watching this and it really reminds me of the old Slice. I Love it.
Starry Zero is so good!!
I love these taste tests. You really liked the starry one, I thought you would like Sprite the best.
Great idea and great video!
It’s okay to like something new!!!! It’s called evolution papi! We won’t hate you for liking starry the most😂😂😂💙
I've done the blind taste test. They all taste a little different. Starry is great, I don't really like 7up, Sprite for the win.
Starry is actually really good! I don’t know if I prefer it over sprite, I think I need to try both of them at the same time, but it’s a solid soda!
I always felt like 7up had more flavor than sprite, but the flavor was not very good. Sprite seemed more refreshing and crisp by comparison I.e. didn’t overpower food.
While the ingredients are same in fountain soda, the owners can tweak the ratio of syrup to water to enhance the flavor. Temperature and type of ice also come into play for the experience/flavor.
P.S. sucralose is an artificial sugar used in sugar free drinks and is 400-700 times sweeter than sugar. If it says sugar, it’s sugar.
Good review. Starry is legit good!
Why would you pick the very first one that doesn't taste right as 7UP?
Loved that!! 😂😂
This was a great watch🤣
How can you speck for me about sierra mist? Love sierra mist i got it every month and now we got nasty starry sorry soda!
Heya left a like 👍 I was trying to figure out why there's no more sprite cranberry 😕 all Christmas nothing
I saw it like twice and then nothing. Never saw the zero sugar one. Wonder why they didn't push it more...
@@PapiEats ahaha my dum bum tried pushing the more... thinking the comment was longer 😅😆madlove
@@rachelbay lmao good effort
can’t believe he remembered about mtn dew ice existing lol
I don’t drink soda often but I used to like Sierra Mist. Only cuz of the name. I used to go backpacking in the Sierra Nevada. And it made me think of that. I’m not sure I would notice the difference between them.
See that’s really cool that you could tie it to a memory most of us couldn’t!
Your assessment of Sierra Mist out of the fountain is indeed different. Fountain syrup is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup and Sierra Mist in bottles and Can is made with “real sugar” which is sucrose.
Haven’t tried Starry yet, but I will dry be trying it soon. 👍
Also, Pepsi had another Lemon Lime soda in the late ‘90s called Storm.
Pepsi's tried so many attempts at lemon-lime sodas, it's kinda embarrassing. After 7Up gained a national following in the late 60s, Coke launched Sprite and Pepsi launched Teem to try to grab market share. Sprite eventually became the market leader thanks to a combo of The Coca-Cola Company's marketing muscle and 7Up hitting financial difficulties in the later 80s, which is when the company merged with Dr Pepper (which had also acquired Canada Dry not long before). Meanwhile Pepsi tried again with Slice, which was pushed as containing real juice. It did okay at first, though it was the Orange Slice that became more of a thing (orange sodas were pretty big at the time). Slice lasted until the late 90s. Pepsi test marketed Storm, a caffeinated lemon-lime, as a replacement but it apparently didn't do well because they went back to the drawing board and came up with Sierra Mist, which launched in 1999. It did fine for a while, but then slacked off, so Pepsi goosed the sales by talking about how other was sweetened with only sucrose sugar, not HFCS. Then in late 2014 they screwed with it and decided to make it the test bed for using stevia to cut calories in non-diet soda. There's a reason stevia only works for sweetening coffee: it has a licorice after taste, which is covered up in coffee but is exceedingly nasty when expecting a simple lemon-lime. Just over a year later they backtracked, dropped the stevia, and renamed the soda Mist Twst (note the lack of an I, because txt speak was cool). It was uninspiring, and just took up shelf space. They went back to the original name and back to using all-sucrose as part of a soft relaunch in 2018, but four years later it made little difference. So we've got Starry.
And that's not even counting the Mountain Dew Ice that they got Morgan Freeman to appear in a Super Bowl ad for launch. Which was contained actual lemon juice, was partly sweetened with non-calorie sweeteners, and (because it was under the Mountain Dew label) caffeinated. Like, it had all three of Pepsi's previous bad ideas in one soda. No wonder it barely lasted.
As for Starry, I like it. Sprite goes flat fast and is too cloyingly sweet. Starry is better balanced.
I've been drinking mostly lemon lime sodas for the last 50 years. I'm lucky because they all taste the same to me lol. I've never had Starry so I'm gonna have to try that.
OK...... I did a blind taste test with Starry and Signature SELECT Soda Lemon Lime soda and could not tell much of a difference. I did prefer the Signature SELECT Soda and it was cheaper.
Well guess I’m going to have to go get one!
There was a soda reviewing channel who no longer uploads named Soda Tasting who also did these kind of blind soda taste test videos.
I enjoyed the taste test, surprised sprite was not the winner…that is usually what I go for if I want a lemon lime soda. I haven’t tried starry yet but this video has made me curious lol
Thanks Jess! Give it a shot!
Oh no the Pepsi one sip challenge lemon lime 2023 version. Boooooo
@@darrelladams4188 lol someone’s hurt 😢
@@TeeRav-pv1jg not really….. just was high as hell and a couple friends were messing with each other to “ troll “ some YT crybabies… I see you made the list.
I love me some 7Up Zero. I still haven’t bumped into Starry Zero. Now I’m going to have to drive to a gas station and try it. 🍋
Hope you like it!!
Well dang, lol!! And here I thought Starry was gonna be nothing to write home about when I first heard about its existence a couple days ago. Maybe I will have to track some down!
I trashed the hell out of it in my reviews lmao My taste buds clearly are out to get me.
How fun! My brother works at food lion, I've got him on the look out for the zero sugar Starry, can't wait to try it!
Hope you like it!!
@@PapiEats he brought some home not long after I left this comment. It isn't carbonated enough for me, but it isn't bad!
How much did starry pay bahahaha Jkjk more blind Taste tests bro I enjoyed this
😂😂🍻
Great video 😂 I just subbed…
Weird suggestion/idea I thought of when you tried Starry real vs zero, why not have some water to sort of “cleanse” your palate in between each one for comparison tests.
Not a bad idea
Wow, incredible!! Now I gotta try Starry. I still haven't seen it pop up anywhere near me yet, but I assume soon I will. I'm hoping to see the Zero sugar version as I try to only drink diet or zero sugar soda's these days. Preferably zero sugar because I think those taste the best. When I do get to try it, I'll come back here and let you know what I think!
WALMART has it !!
@@alfredooliva5175 I've since tried it & it is very good. Of course I have yet to see the zero sugar version, still waiting to see that. Also still waiting on the Dr. Pepper Strawberries & cream!
I was actually going to do this and then I forgot that I still needed Starry.
Challenge: Now throw in Mountain Dew.
Entirely different kind of soda but I’ve got that video coming up too!
@@PapiEats I feel like Mountain Dew is like a more viscous taste if that makes sense. It almost seems like it is carbonated water with those lemon juices one can get from the store to prepare or add to cooking items. You are right. It is a different taste.
I had done some research on Mtn Dew, prior to going to The Outpost and originally, Mtn Dew was meant as a chaser to liquor, originating in TN.
I just tried it and was amazed. I tried starry first and then tasted sprite after and it just didn’t taste good.
Just got some starry yesterday. It's just like you say its got more flavor, generally better. One of the few lemon lime sodas I kind of actually like. I am disappointed that it's just a PepsiCo product though. I bought it thinking I'd found a rare off brand that I'd never seen before. It is new but it's not obscure or an actual off brand it's just a big corporate product.
Picked up Starry on sale and it was way better than Sierra Mist. I’ve never liked Sprite much either, but I need to do a side-by-side taste test with 7-Up to crown my favorite. I’ve always been partial to 7-Up.
Do it!!
I've been using Sierra mist "twist" as a mixer for years. Bought an over priced 12 pack of starry day it hit the store. Never again! Way too sweet! Guess I should thank pepsi co for helping me save money. Food lions limon up is equal to Sierra mist at $1.09 for a 2 liter.
When Sierra Mist came back in 2018 it seemed to me like Pepsi changed the recipe so that it was more muted than before.
It was funny to see you go from hating Starry to enjoying it by the end lol
Sierra Mist is made with real cane sugar, so it didn’t compete with Sprite . Most people preferred Sprite hands down… So that’s why Pepsi finally replaced Sierra Mist with Starry to get on the same sweetness level.
Starry is pretty darn good. I still like Sprite too. 7UP is ok… a classic but not as sweet as Sprite or Starry.
Most people are idiots that do nothing but harm their health. Sierra Mist should be brought back.
@@MrPolandball Truth!
McDonald's has a special arrangement with Coca-Cola and they do everything specific for them, which it IS why "it hits different" because they do it special for McDonald's.. that is true. 7Up still consistent, Sierra Mist has been going down in flavor for years unfortunately... I'm hella CURIOUS about Starry, seen it, never had it before.
Lol 😂 ur funny 😁 😊😊😊😊😊 special arrangement 😊😊😊😊
taste just like mcdonald’s sprite i promise.
@@ffinessesav lol 😆 🤔
I believe you bro. They can adjust the syrup level too
Three cheers for Starry! LOL!
Papa johns I work at just got first shipment of starry and it actually slaps
Had to pickup MTN Dew because of this video brings back memories rarely drink it....Starry seems interesting. Mostly drink lemon lime soda's....Sprite Lymonade is delicious...my first grab if I see it....
The lymonade is good!!
Isn't Sierra Mist opague while the other 3 are clear? That would make it easy to pick out Sierra Mist.
Nah
Squirt or Fresca would be
A lot of people sleep on 7-Up but it is so good.
I do consume alot of caffeine. But I absolutely love caffeine free drinks when I don't want it. The new scheme I don't like but after this video I do want to compare for myself
It's a fun comparison if you're bored haha
Sprite is the blandest of the original 3. It's the equivalent to plain vanilla ice cream. Never cared for it.
Siera Mist had the most natural flavor. I could actually taste lemon, lime, and sugar.
7up was by far the sweetest. Cherry 7up is even better.
I usually prefer dark sodas to citrus ones but I'm curious to try Starry now.
I just reviewed all 4 zero sugar varieties. that review should post this week.
Nice! I’ve got way too many diet lemon lime sodas sitting here waiting for me to do the same haha
Starry is pretty good. Reminds me of a soda Pepsi shortly released called Storm
🤯🙃I've just never been a Lemon/Lime soda fan, but I did like Storm quite a bit. Diet 7-Up though was one of the few diet sodas I liked along with Tab and the Lemon-flavored Pepsi Light. I drank Cherry 7-Up for a bit after it released but haven't had it in over 10 years now. This was interesting. Still doesn't sell me on Starry, but may just try it.
I'm still not sold and I just literally sold myself on it
You should of done a mixed one with all of them
That used to be the thing to do at Cici’s pizza.
I always felt that mountain dew had a pear flavoring.
Aunt may - “your not Superman you know”
i honestly cant tell the difference between starry and sprite, i had to look at the starry bottle a couple of times after drinking one to make sure I hadnt grabbed a sprite
This one made me laugh!!! Lol.
Lol glad to hear!
Saw a single Starry at the store earlier but I didn’t grab it. I’ve always been a 7-Up fan. But I also used to like the MD Whiteout haha I did not like the MD Ice, however.
Bro, this was pretty smart
Twist Mist was the high fructose corn syrup version of Sierra Mist. Now it is going back to high fructose corn syrup, Starry.
To me, Sprite was always crisper or more carbonated than 7up. Never tried the others though...
That was the way I felt too but today blew my mind
I love my Sprite but I love Starry too. It's actually good
Gonna have to try a starry today. Will report back.
Update: This soda is world's better to me than sprite, which is my go to lemon limer. Much crisper and colder... It's a ton better than Sierra Mist... Love it.
next time use glass cups instead. Paper cups can change the flavor a bit.
You should add twist up
I really liked ICE because I normally never drink soda unless it has caffeine in it so I never drink lemon lime drinks unless I have an upset stomach. Was kinda sad when ICE disappeared lol
yeah me too
7 UP will always be my favorite but I haven't tried Starry yet.
All I know is I'm a clear over dark soda kinda gal most of the time and to that I'm not the biggest Sprite fan - the syrupy comment rings true - but it's usually the only lemon lime option most places I go so I deal. Starry sounds goofy but I'd give it a shot lol
I currently like Sprite the best and I think it has more lime taste than the others. I've went back and forth between Sprite and 7UP. I think they have both fluctuated in quality through the years. Same with Sierra Mist. Starry was ok but it wasn't great. 7UP used to be better years ago when it was still served in glass bottles. Most sodas were better in glass and before corn syrup started being used. Years ago there was a lemon lime soda called Bubble Up that competed with 7UP long before Sprite or any of the others existed. That was amazing! I'm not sure if Bubble up still exists.
It do be hittin different though
all static noise drinks 😂😭🫡 tbh 💯
You should try Squirt one day. I don't see it in your reviews. It's a grapefruit taste soda made by Dr.Pepper/7 Up
Mhm I’ve had Squirt before. Not bad. Not something I’m a big fan of.
Loved this video. I'm gonna do the same thing and see what I think.
Don't pour out the Sierra Mist. At least make mixed alcoholic drinks with it.
I don’t drink sugary soda typically and I’m currently avoiding alcohol so that’s a bad combo for me 😂
I was just as shocked as you when you said what you said about sprite. I’d also like to see a zero version of this!
