Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback

[dweekie]

I noticed Pepsi and Mountain Dew started using sugar instead of corn syrup in the new "throwback" packages. I know some parts of the country have passover soda seasonally, but ths is the first in my area that I've noticed an actual sugar based Pepsi or Coke readily available. I'm enjoying a can right now. Mmmm, no lingering corn syrup aftertaste.....

Oh yeah!

I tried the pepsi version and it was like being a kid again. It tasted EXACTLY like the pepsi I grew up with in those old 16 oz. glass bottles!

I didn't know they were doing Mt. Dew too.

I'm addicted to the aspartame version.

I've tried the Mountain Dew Throwback and didn't like it at all. It tasted almost like a diet Dew. I know I have been drinking Mtn Dew forever and never remember it tasting like the throwback version.

Hey, whats wrong with mountain dew? I loooove it!:huge:

I bought one bottle of Pepsi throwback and one Mountain Dew throwback. Slightly different from the high fructose corn syrup version, but not the amazing improvement I was led to believe from some of the online reviews.

I'd feel much better consuming real natural sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup in just about everything that produced these days.. Too bad it's only for a 'limited time'.

I drink diet (although partially to save calories) because I don't like the syrupy stickyness of regular. Does the natural sugar version lack this? I don't think I've ever had it since I'm only 29.

I prefer diet also (less sweet).. drank it for years.. but I can't continue with the crap it has in it. :nervous:

Eh, I figure I'm a higher risk for diabetes than brain cancer or alzheimer's, so I'll take the chemicals over the high fructose corn syrup every time until I start to





what was I talking about? :no clue:

Sweeteners derived from stevia will be hitting the market soon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia

My son who lives in NM has said that Coca-Cola is available from Mexico in his area. It is made with sugar also. He says that it is the best.

I have actually broken away in the last few months from being a lifelong high volume consumer of sodas (diet and otherwise) I still have the occasional diet soda, but mainly drink water or vitamin water10, when I do have soda, it's diet root beer....

I'm gonna have to go try one. I haven't been a regular soda drinker for years....prefer water with lemon as my staple...but do enjoy a soda a few times a month.
