Throwback Pepsi is soooooo good!

[Taverner]

Better than the imported Mexican stuff - too sweet!

End of advertisement

[Bertha Venation]

1. "Good Pepsi" = oxymoron

:hi:

[Taverner]

2. Hey - if they revived the original Coke recipe I'd be happy too!

You know, using Cane Sugar and Coca Leaf!

[qnr]

12. Nice to have choices. Personally, I think Coke is horrible. n/t

[MrCoffee]

3. Throwback Mountain Dew is excellent as well.

[Broken_Hero]

4. It sure was, while it lasted...

it amazed me how much of a difference in taste there was.

[MrCoffee]

6. I bought some last week...

Maybe I'll make another run to the store tonight for more, if it's that limited a release.

[Broken_Hero]

8. last time I saw it was

summer of last year, they also had throw back pepsi as well(but I'm not a pepsi fan, so didn't try it).

The MT. Dew ones I saw were in like 20ounce bottles(perhaps bigger).

[dysfunctional press]

10. it's still going on.

this is a different promotion than last summer's.

[Taverner]

5. Aw man I missed that one!

[dysfunctional press]

11. i like that they have the old hillbilly label on it.

ya-hoo, it's mountain dew.

[Taverner]

16. I do take offense to the redneckization of Mtn Dew

It was a perfectly acceptable college cramming beverage of choice in the 90's!

[dysfunctional press]

32. 'redneckification'...?

the hillbilly on the bottle harkens back to their original bottle, that i remember from when i was a kid.
btw- we drank it in college in the 80's as well.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

39. I think they should put a 20-sided die on the label.............

since that's the most prominent association I have w/ the Spew.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

38. Broke my soda ban to try it...........

It was quite yummy.

[Common Sense Party]

7. Where do you get it?

[Taverner]

9. I got mine at Safeway

But it looked like there wasn't much left - I grabbed a 12 pack

[Common Sense Party]

31. And it's only in cans?

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. How throwback? 80s throwback? And is it in glass bottles?

[Taverner]

26. Not THAT much throwback...but...

They do retain the original Pespi logo...

14. Try the throwback "Dr. Pepper"

It tastes the way Dr. Pepper tasted in the 1960's. It's an elixir!

[Taverner]

15. Where do I find such elixirs?

[Generic Brad]

18. I found mine next to the throwback Pepsi & Mountain Dew

First time I recall ever buying three 12 packs of soda at one time. But we only get a few chances to relive portions of our childhood. Best make the most of it when the opportunity presents itself.

[Captain Hilts]

21. WHERE do I get me some of that???

[Duer 157099]

36. Target n/t

[Duer 157099]

35. Yes! I like it even more than the Pepsi or Mountain Dew

And I don't drink soda regularly anyway, but I'm close to becoming hooked on the Dr. Pepper.

[applegrove]

17. I'm so upset. I'm on a diet and will not be able to try it. Dam.

[Taverner]

19. I am sure if you bought one can, poured one ounce in a shot glass, and sipped it

You could truly enjoy this.

And a shot glass is what? 10 calories?

[Captain Hilts]

20. I LOVE coke with real sugar. I can't wait to buy some of this.

Joan Crawford drinkin' Pepsi on the set of "Trog."

[JonLP24]

22. It's made with sugar!!

Of course with soda these days with HFCS the sugar made Pepsi would taste so much better.

[GenoaMan]

23. I have been following this issue for some time,

mostly based on the health risks of high fructose corn syrup. Also, virtually all other countries use sugar, and the verdict is unanimous that it tastes twice as good. BTW, this is a result of Congress passing protectionist laws on behalf of the American sugar industry. Cola manufacturers switched to high fructose corn syrup because it is so much cheaper than American sugar.

Original, sugar-sweetened Dr. Pepper in glass bottles is available from the old plant in Dublin, Texas, and available on line. It's easy to find on line.

The Mexican Coca-Cola in glass bottles is delicious.

I can't wait to try the throw back Pepsi.

[Taverner]

24. The problem with HFCS is that it has all the health issues associated with sugar...

But none of the benefits (e.g. GOOD TASTE!!!)

Kind of like Log Cabin Syrup vs Pure Maple Syrup

[GenoaMan]

27. I'm no expert . . .

But it is my understanding that HFCS really messes with the pancreas, much worse than sugar. Also a fairly recent study revealed mercury in a lot of HFCS samples.

[Taverner]

28. I have heard that - but I've never seen conclusive data

Perhaps its more dangerous...they need to show emperical numbers, not just antecdotal cases...

[Captain Hilts]

25. The politics of sugar are fascinating. nt

[mopinko]

29. there are a lot of small pop manufacturers these days that use cane sugar.

i love boylans, and jones. goose island makes some awesome root beer. sadly, they discontinued the black cherry soda, but do still have vanilla creme and orange creme.
i think i will check out the pepsi, tho, even tho i am not a pepsi fan.
they have it at the costco here.

[Captain Hilts]

30. For some reason, I can get EVERYTHING from Boylans, BUT Cane Cola. nt

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

33. i've had the mt dew

i never drink regular soda, i mainly stick to diet pepsi, and the 170 calories was a commitment... but it was damn good

[Taverner]

37. Yes - I don't drink them every day

But on that rare occasion - and say, with a splash of rum


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmgood

[Iggo]

34. It's better than the standard stuff, that's for sure.

Takes a little getting used to, and I still like Mexican Coke just a little bit more.
