As I have said before.
At least in the Chicago Market,Slice
was a good seller. IMO Slice was good tasting,
a good brand presence on the shelve, sold like crazy
(2 ltrs) when on the weekly hot sales and the flavors
were appealing to the mass market.

I enjoyed Lemon Lime and Orange. I was a loyal
Slice customer.

Update:
Talked again with the Pepsi Rep, and he told me more info about Slice. He said that it will be called Slice Undercover Ltd. It will be clear and be sold in 20. oz, 2 lt, and 12 pk. cases. I don't quite understand what they are trying to do here. I will also try to find out what the flavor will be, and I will get pics when I can

Sounds like it might be some kind of "mystery flavor".

Yeah, speaking of medicinal taste similarities, the grape one sorta tastes like Dimetapp the cough syrup.

I'm in southern Louisiana for a few days, and I have seen Slice peach, strawberry, grape, orange, diet orange in 12pks and 2L's at Rouse's supermarkets in Houma. Also saw Slice vending machines (not new ones) at several Rouse's. The product came from the PepsiAmericas plant in Reserve LA.
As far as I know, both Collierville and Reserve have continued to produce Slice (in the 4 flavors and 1 diet) even after Twisters was introduced.

Adding to the Amp orange/grape rumors, on December 19, 2007, Pepsi filed to protect the trademark of Amp Energy Elevate, with the associated logo in black/white:


Not sure if that factors into this discussion, but take it for what it is.

And as far as the Slice rumors, just a few days before the above filing, on December 4, Pepsi made two other filings: Sierra Mist Undercover Orange and Sierra Mist Free Undercover Orange. One must assume these are for orange-flavored drinks, based on the color logos:




Thanks to Trademork for the tips.

Elevate, Relaunch, and Traction were three names I saw for the new flavors. I also found trademarks for those three as well as firestorm.
