Information AboutSlice |
Slice is a line of Fruit -flavored Soft Drinks manufactured by PepsiCo and introduced in 1984 , with the Lemon-Lime and Mandarin Orange flavours. Varieties of Slice have included Apple , Fruit Punch , Grape , Lemon Lime, Mandarin Orange , Pineapple , Strawberry , Cherry Cola, Cherry-Lime, and Dr Slice (in imitation of Dr Pepper ). Many of the flavors closely mirror that of Crush , a product of Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. Originally, the drink was known for containing 10% Fruit Juice in it; but that was discontinued by 1994 . The original design of the can was a solid color, related to the flavor of the drink. These were replaced around 1991 with black cans, with a colorful burst (once again, related to the flavor of the drink), along with slicker graphics. Around 1997 , the cans became blue with color-coordinated swirls. Lemon Lime Slice was replaced by Sierra Mist in most markets in the summer of 2000 . Sierra Mist became a national brand in 2003 . The rest of the Slice line was replaced in most markets by Tropicana Twister Soda in the summer of 2005 , although the Dr Slice variety can still be found in some fountains. In early 2006 , the Slice name was resurrected for a new line of Diet Sodas from Pepsi, called Slice ONE. Currently, Slice ONE is available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores, in Orange , Grape , and Berry flavors. All three flavors are sweetened with Splenda . |
