    The Slice brand is dead, and has been for some time. The exception is a diet Slice One product produced by some pepsi bottlers for Wal Mart only, apparently.

    I heard at one time there was a Slice cola, I thought that that was strange since Slice Drinks have Fruit juice in them.

    I do remember the slice cherry cola. What where the marketing wizards at Pespsico thinking in coming out with a cola that was not part of the flagship Pepsi?

    Well, Pepsi did have a history of introducing flavor extensions under an alternate brand. When they tried a diet cola in the early 60s, they put it under their "Patio" sub-brand instead of as Diet Pepsi. It was successful enough that Diet Pepsi was soon introduced. I wonder if the Cherry Cola Slice wasn't a similar tactic on their part.

    I really miss some of the slice flavors. Good stuff, I much prefered them to Fanta.
