Slice Soda is Back and Cooler Than Ever: How AI and Nostalgia Power the Ultimate ‘90s Comeback

Slice soda, the iconic drink of the 1980s and 1990s, is back, but this time it’s smarter, healthier, and more fun than ever. With 5 grams of sugar or less and boosted with prebiotics and postbiotics, Slice isn’t just a nostalgic treat—it’s a modern beverage for today’s wellness-conscious fans.

AI NEWS – To announce this legendary comeback in a way that feels true to the spirit of the ‘90s, Slice launched a real analog FM radio station entirely dedicated to soda: 106.3 The Fizz, a station that plays pop hits that never existed until now. Using Google’s AI tools, Slice’s creative team mined all the cultural references that made the ‘90s unforgettable and turned them into hours of original programming, including new songs, lyrics, and even fictional artist names for the Pop 40 countdown.

AI tool Gemini generated hundreds of “slicified” song titles and lyrics, while Imagine quickly produced album covers and artist images that brought these fictional bands to life. Then, V3 animated the bands into full music videos, creating a visually and audibly immersive experience. Leading the station is DJ Bev, the first-ever AI-generated radio host, whose smooth, playful, and witty personality was entirely crafted by Gemini, making the FM waves feel alive with personality.

Slice FM goes beyond music, with segments like Slice Advice, where listeners’ quirky questions are answered in fun, relatable ways, from soda-stealing spouses to life advice, all flavored with the charm of Slice. Additionally, Liria created lo-fi beats for a Fizz FM YouTube channel, while AI even helped build the streaming site so fans could tune in from anywhere in the world.

The result is a seamless blend of human creativity and AI innovation, transforming Slice from a nostalgic soda into a multi-platform cultural phenomenonthat spans music, visual art, and interactive entertainment. Slice’s comeback proves that iconic brands can evolve while staying true to their roots, combining retro nostalgia with modern health-conscious formulas and cutting-edge technology.

From Oceanside, California, to fans streaming worldwide, 106.3 The Fizz embodies the perfect mix of past and future, offering a full sensory experience: the taste of the soda, the nostalgia of the ‘90s, and AI-enhanced entertainment. Slice is not just back—it’s evolved, proving that a legendary brand can return in a way that is both sweet and technologically advanced, turning a simple soda into a modern icon for a new generation.
