I can't drink HFCS anymore because they taste AWFUL now. The TB really leaves me satisfied but I always wanted to drink more with HFCS (2 to 3 times as much). This is ploy of the soda companies and Coca Cola is worst of them all. I have tried MexiCoke and it not bad either. My advice, give the sugar sodas a week or two and you will be hooked but I believe you will drink less soda in the long run (it just satisfies better).

It is one of the most extensively tested food additives and the US Food & Drug Administration has determined that it is safe. So since we use corn syrup, I would assume that the caramel coloring / flavor does have corn in it." -So unfortunately I will have to look for something safer for me since I am corn sensitive.

Coca Cola from MX tastes even better than Pepsi because of the less HFCS that is used. Throwback is not authentic. It uses beet sugar that tastes bitter.

I wasn't drinking the HFCS formula for years and now I know why! Ever since throwback, I'm a Pepsi fan again. If Pepsi knows what's good for them they'll never discontinue this!

I put a glass mug in the freezer for about an hour, filled it with ice,poured the the throwback over them and let it "breathe" . when I tasted, it was the old taste from the past. when I didn't do this I got the can or plastic taste I think the key here is can and plastic bottle.I worked for coke in the 60's and when cans came out, people complained about the nasty taste.so I remembered what my parents did.

Not a fan of Pepsi Throwback. It made me want to throw it right back where I bought it. Too sweet and leaves an unwanted sugar film in my mouth. I do get nostalgic seeing that glass Pepsi bottle though. Second that. Not a fan of Pepsi Throwback. It made me want to throw it right back where I bought it.

I don't like Pepsi Throwback. It taste nothing like it did in the 70's and that is a shame. My husband bought 2 - 12packs. Even my 12 year old daughter didn't like it. Had to pawn it off on the grandkids. They will drink anything. I know that's true because they drank the Pepsi Throwback. I agree with John and Frank. I don't like Pepsi Throwback.
