Sierra mist is dead. Long live Sierra Mist.

It's been replaced by some HFCS-laden mess, called "Mist Twst." I'm not drinking it.

I'm going to need a new HFCS-Free/Caffeine-Free pop and I should be able to find it at my local Krogers.

Any suggestions?

I wanted to cut back on Diet Coke about a year ago and we started drinking sparkling waters at home. I love them.

It's not quite as ubiquitous as Mexican coke, but I see it every once in a while at the supermarkets here.

Both are made with cane sugar, of course.

There's still the artificial flavor and the carbonation, but no more sugar vs. artificial sweetener controversy, no more phosphoric acid, no more brominated whatever-the-f*ck that's in Mountain Dew.

It's growing on me fairly well now and I'm sure I'm going to be healthier for it.
