Teem is a lemon-lime-flavored soft drink produced by The Pepsi-Cola Company. It was introduced in 1960 as Pepsi's answer to 7 Up and Coca-Cola's Sprite.[1]

Background

Teem was sold in the United States and Canada until it became unsuccessful and was discontinued in 1984, when Lemon-Lime Slice was introduced, though it was still available at some soda fountains into the 1990s. Mist Twist has since taken over the Teem role in the US. Teem remains on sale today in Brazil, Uruguay, Honduras, South Africa and Pakistan; it survived into the 1990s in other markets too, before Pepsi authorized vendors to replace it with 7 Up.
