DEAR SUN SPOTS: I graduated from Lewiston High School in 1951. Since this is our 65th anniversary, I wondered if there are plans for a reunion this year? Thanks, Marilyn, Sabattus.

ANSWER: Wow! Sun Spots sure hopes there is. Are there any readers who can help answer this question for Marilyn? Sixty-five years is pretty impressive, and to think, when Sun Spots received the following notice from the Lewiston High School Class of 1956 for their upcoming 60th reunion, she was already impressed.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Do you know what happened to Sierra Mist? Now you can get Mist Twist, but it doesn’t taste the same. — Deborah, No Town.

ANSWER: PepsiCo rebranded the lemon-lime soft drink again in spring of 2016— the latest in a long line of rebrand attempts since the product’s launch in 1999-2000. Part of this rebrand does include a formula change, hence the different taste. If history does indeed repeat itself, though, then don’t worry. If you just wait it out, it will likely change again within the next couple of years.
