'''Teem''' was a lemon-lime-flavored soft drink produced by [[PepsiCo|The Pepsi-Cola Company]]. It was introduced in 1964 as Pepsi's answer to [[7 Up]] and [[Coca-Cola]]'s [[Sprite (soft drink)|Sprite]]. Teem was sold in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] until 1984, when Lemon-Lime [[Slice (soft drink)|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 [[South Africa]] and [[Pakistan]]‘. For all practical purposes, [[Sierra Mist]] has taken over the Teem role since the 2000s.
