How have netizens reacted to the news on social media?

Fans have been given mixed reactions to the latest launch of the Sprite + Tea flavor. The news has excited some fans, while others are not intrigued to try the beverage.

“For the entirety of 2025 I will subsist solely on Sprite tea.” One user wrote on X.

“I've been doing this for years. About 3/4 tea, then 1/4 Sprite.” Another user mentioned.

“Sprite + Tea??” One user said.

“I need someone to tell me if Sprite + green tea actually slaps.” Someone else wrote.

One person reacted through a GIF:

Let's see, I don't care for Sprite, Coke or Dr. Pepper. Sunkist and A&W both sound good to me. Cherry Cream Pepsi I'm willing to give a try. And I don't like 7 up or tropical.” Another user commented.
