Pepsi/Mountain Dew "Throwback"
- Thread starter Venardhi
- Start date
Artifical sweetners' (mostly Sacahrine like Sweet and Low) connection to cancer has all but been recended. You'd have to ingest far more than is humanly possible or reasonable to get any meaningful risk.
Apparently, there is no Throwback (of the Pepsi variety) within 50 miles of me.
^Have you tried asking your grocer to special order it for you?
Just back from a long day out and having picked up a 12 pack of each of the throwbacks. Wanted to get more, but there were only three of each on the shelf, so I decided to leave some for someone else and just pick more up Wednesday when I'm next to Target anyway.
They're cooling in the fridge and I'm eagerly anticipating opening one tonight...

All these sodas sound great, but the name 'Throwback' keeps making me think of 'Backwash'. 
Man, I still miss Royal Crown Draft, Premium Cola. Anyone else remember that shit? I used to love it. Fuckers discontinued it...
Amen brother.
I only bought the Pepsi because I have to try it at least. Can't stand the Pepsi with the HFCS.
I'm hoping that this catches on and Coke is forced to reply.
I haven't. I'll mention it to them the next time I go by the service counter.
I believe you mean "hecho en México"
You know I don't speak German.
If you would have done any research on the subject before offering your rather condescending view on the matter, you would know that it's not that HFCS is "that bad" in moderate doses (such as in the random soda or two). Rather, it's that HFCS is in nigh everything these days, to the point where the average shopper has to go out of their way if they want to avoid the stuff, and HFCS in larger doses IS a big deal.
I've now tried both the Pepsi and Mountain Dew. When that first sip of Pepsi hit my lips, it took me back to my childhood when pop tasted really good. All this time I thought it was the switch from glass bottles to plastic that made it taste a little "off," but it was the sugar. I wish they'd make this permanent instead of limiting it to an 8-week run. 
I enjoyed the mountain dew, and I don't even LIKE mountain dew! At least, not anymore. I would if they'd switch to this formula.

I don't drink soda anymore, and definitely don't drink colas. But, when I did...I remember that stuff. It was *GOOD*! I remember when they were discontinuing it, buying out the supply at my local Target. I think I had about 20 6 packs (that I had bought for $1 each!) for awhile. Had to make it last.
