His task was to thwart KAOS, an evil organization with the same penchant for the caps lock key as CONTROL.<\/p>\n<p>The Sierra Mist Undercover Orange is a 7-Up\/Sprite wannabe lemon-lime soda with a splash of mandarin orange flavor.  If your inner botanist believes a mandarin orange is a tangerine, then it does have a mandarin orange flavor.  Personally, my inner botanist has had its fair share of canned Asian mandarin oranges in heavy syrup over the years to raise my fruit intake, so I have a pretty good idea of what mandarin oranges taste like and I have to say that I don&#8217;t think a mandarin orange is a tangerine. Therefore, I believe this soda tastes more like a tangerine.  <\/p>\n<p>Either way, the orange flavor in this soda isn&#8217;t like Sunkist or any of the generic brand orange sodas out there.  I kind of prefer the flavor of the Sierra Mist Undercover Orange because it tastes a little more natural than most orange sodas because it&#8217;s less sweet and more sour, thanks to the Sierra Mist lemon and lime flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The Sierra Mist Undercover Orange isn&#8217;t bad for a carbonated citrus beverage and summer blockbuster tie-in.  It&#8217;s a limited edition beverage so once it&#8217;s gone, it&#8217;s gone&#8230;unless it&#8217;s really popular, then it will come back in the future, most likely with another movie tie-in.  For now, it makes a great soda to wash away the taste of the trailer for the movie <i>>Beverly Hills Chihuahua<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bottle &#8211; 240 calories, 0 grams of fat, 55 milligrams of sodium, 65 grams of carbohydrates, 65 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 0 grams of caffeine, and 0 grams of box office gold.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Sierra Mist Undercover Orange<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $1.25 (20 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  7-Eleven<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  It&#8217;s clear.
