Product circa: summer 2015
LeBron's Mix was actually a reprise of Sprite's "6 Mix by LeBron James" which had appeared a year before. Both had the same formula: a Sprite base with cherry and orange mixed in. The promotion seemed to be nothing more than Coca-Cola attempting to cash in on LeBron's immense popularity from the early 2010s. I presume that LeBron himself collaborated on how his mix would taste, but I'm not sure.
Sprite variations, which are seldom, tend to be quite good, but this one falls short. The first half of each sip is nice, with a cherry-like Sprite vibe, but the aftertaste is like cheap orange candy. Each swig plays with your emotions, such that it ends up being worse than the original product.
So unfortunately, the flavored Sprite exceptionalism ended in 2015.
