Teem

For the record label see Teem Records.

Teem was a lemon-lime-flavored soft drink produced by The Pepsi-Cola Company. It was introduced in 1964 as Pepsi's answer to 7 Up and Coca-Cola's Sprite. Teem was sold in the United States and Canada until 1984, when Lemon-Lime Slice was introduced.

Its TV ad campaign in the early 1980s challenged viewers to "go ahead... build up that thirst until you can't stand it any more..." (showing, for example, a disheveled old guy eating "two plain dry tacos" bought from a street vendor in the Southwest) "...then BLOW IT AWAY with TEEM."

In many foreign markets, however, Teem survived until the early 1990s, when Pepsi-authorized bottlers replaced it with 7 Up. Teem still exists in Brazil, South Africa and Pakistan. For all practical purposes, Sierra Mist has taken over the Teem role.
