Win a Pepsi Throwback Pack!
Apr 22nd, 2009 by Steve
Update 8/10/09: It's a Throwback Comeback! Pepsi, Dew Throwback to return in December 2009 for 8 weeks!
I don't know about you, but it seems there's a lot of buzz now that Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback have been released. These drinks came out on April 20 and are only available for 8 weeks, thus there seems to be a lot of desire by beverage enthusiasts to track them down in a timely fashion.
Well, what if I told you that BevReview.com is giving away each of these limited-time flavors… along with much, much more! Yes, it's time for another contest!
You could win all these Throwback prizes!
For those new to the Throwbacks, they are sugar-sweetened versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew that we've been talking about for quite some time. With their combination of cane and beet sugar, retro packaging, and amazingly good taste, I know personally it's nice to see them live up to the hype. You'll be able to find them nationwide in 20 oz. plastic bottles and 12-pack cans.

I have not yet tried Pepsi/Mountain Dew Throwback yet but I am furiously trying to find it. I wish that I could be drinking some Crystal Clear Pepsi right now because when it was out it was amazing. I found out about this contest via twitter.
I have not found Pepsi Throwback or Mountain Dew Throwback yet, but the search continues.
I'd like to find a long lost cache of New Coke and Crystal Pepsi that hasn't been ravaged by time.
I found the contest via twitter.
1. Not tried it yet, REALLY want to try it, both the Throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew.
2. SURGE!! Used to get it all the time for lunches when my family went to visit my grandparents. That and Blue Nehi.
3. Twitter.
1. I haven't tried a Throwback yet, because I can't find it anywhere in Boston yet.
2. OK Soda! No question.
3. I learned of the contest via twitter.
Fired up my sparkly new Tweetie and saw this contest. Maybe I can get lucky! I can't get enough Pepsi Throwback. I've almost killed the first 12-pack I bought.
As for the beverage I would like to have from the past, I really wish I had a 3-liter of New Coke right about now. Nah, who am I kidding! That crap was nasty.
I haven't tried it yet – doesn't seem to be around in Appalachia sadly. I'm very excited to not only try Pepsi throwback but maybe even stockpile it a bit. Then again, I'll just get addicted to the *better* taste and be let down when it's gone. Just like when Oreo ripped the strawberry milkshake flavor from my cold, dead hands. Or, rather, when I bought up all the clearance packages of said Oreos from a local Target then ate a box or so a day till they were gone.
As for an old time drink I miss…while RC Cola was pretty good, I've always been a Pepsi/Mt. Dew person. I miss them being in glass containers; especially from a local store that kept them in an icy cooler so when you popped the top an instant slush formed inside. Yummy.
Oh, and I heard about this little contest from the Twitterverse.
I still haven't found any in the Kissimmee FL area.
I wish I could remember what exactly it was, but like 20 years ago there was a Mountain Dew available in the summer with a really retro label, and a mucho sugar flavor. I only was able to enjoy it in GA and TN if i recall, on the way to my Grandmothers farm on our family trip
Found the contest via twitter
I managed to secure some Pepsi Throwback…and I must say it's goooood. I feel like it's a flavor I remember from my childhood, though that may be The Power of Marketing!* Haven't sought out the Dew, I was never really into it.
However, no question, the drink that defined my childhood: Hi-C Ecto Cooler. I want it back.
And, found the contest through Twitter!
-I cant find MD or Pepsi Throwback anywhere!
-If I could drink a Surge right now, life would be complete. Wasn't it illegal somewhere because of caffeine content?
-Heard from Twitter!
1. I have not seen any in the stores in Indy. I don't think we're considered a target market or I'm looking in the wrong stores.
2. I'd love to try a throwback Coke ('cause I'm more of a Coke fan then a Pepsi fan, but I'd love to try a throwback Pepsi b/c I think I'd like it more then now-Pepsi).
3. Read this via Facebook.
@Tina
We all know Throwback Coke would have to have cocaine in it to be a perfectly honest product!
1. I have not tried Pepsi Throwback yet. I've been looking for it but no luck so far.
2. I really wish New York Seltzer was still in business. That stuff was awesome! I keep seeing reruns of The Cosby Show where they drink them and I'm so jealous it's not 1984 again!
3. I follow you on Twitter.
1. Got my Pepsi and MtnDew Throwback last weekend. They're both great!! I'm partial to Dew though.
2. Rondo.
3. Twitter
1. Pepsi throwback tastes too much like Coke. Mountain Dew throwback ROCKS! The first taste put me into ecstasy.
2. Bubble Up
3. Twitter
haven't found the Throwbacks, in this area it's almost impossible to find the "K" sodas, either. I thought New York was a big market!
Right now, I wish I could have a Jolt Cola in the old red, white, and blue cans, with the "All the sugar, twice the caffiene!" stamped on it.
Heard about this on Twitter.
Haven't tried the throwbacks yet, I haven't seen them in stores but I am looking everyday! One drink I miss that I only had a few times was strawberry Faygo!! Pure delicious!
I saw the article on Twitter and I Haven't tried the throwbacks yet, I haven't seen them in stores but I am looking everyday! One drink I miss that I only had a few times was strawberry Faygo!! Pure delicious!
1. I haven't had a chance to try Pepsi or Mountain Dew Throwback yet, but I've been on the search ever since I heard about it!
2. Dr Pepper isn't necessarily a forgotten drink, but its cane sugar-sweetened version isn't as well known and the corn syrup- sweetened stuff doesn't even begin to compare! If that doesn't count, I'll go ahead and say Moxie. I've only had one in my life, but it was life changing!
3. I read about this on Twitter, directed from a "find pepsi throwback" google. Thank you so much for being of aid to me in this pursuit, and for holding the contest.
1)my local grocery store had the throwback sodas available since the weekend of the 10th. I've had the pleasure of drinking them almost 2 weeks early. I've never really liked Pepsi, more of a coke drinker but I love my Mtn Dew and I really love Mtn Dew throwback.
2) wouldn't mind gettin my hands on New Coke again.
3) found about this on Twitter
1. Haven't tried it but I really want to–haven't seen it at my local SuperTarget yet.
2. Surge–do they even still make that stuff?
3. Facebook
1) After 2 days hunting for these drinks I finally got lucky at a local Target. I grabbed 3 cases of Pepsi and 1 case of Mountain Dew. I've always been a fan of pepsi but I long for that classic flavor I had as a kid. To be honest I'm not sure if Pepsi throwback is that flavor, it could be that without the bottle it's hard to get that vision and flavor back in my head. Regardless I ran home and popped open a can with a glass of ice. I found it to be smooth and very drinkable. I recently tried pepsi natural and hated the super sweetness that came with it. This didn't have that sweetness to it. It was perfectly drinkable and I couldn't have been happier with it. It quite saddens me that this will only be available for a few months. Even if I stocked up this flavor will be gone by the 2010. I can only hope that sales will bring this drink back to a more permanent line. As for the mountain dew, well I'm not a fan of dew. It's flavor is a little to intense? Well maybe not the right word but it isn't that enjoyable. I will only drink it if I'm looking fora quick caffeine rush. However, this new throwback version is very, VERY good. It has a little kick to it but it actually tastes like something that came from fruits! I figure I'll continue to buy 2-3 cases of pepsi per 1 case of Dew and do my best to enjoy them both while I can.
2) Crystal Pepsi… hands down winner. =)
3) I found your contest while searching for other people's reviews of Pepsi throwback. It was my hope that everyone would enjoy the soda as much as I do. In the long run the more people that enjoy it, the better chance at it becoming at least a seasonal release or even better, a stand alone release. Pepsi shouldn't worry though as I enjoy the HFCS one as well. I would prolly buy both, but obviously more of the natural sugar kind.
Thanks for the great reviews Bevreview.com!
I have tried Pepssi Throwback and I think it taste like 20 year old Pepsi. I have a collection and have had to drain older Pepsi so I know what it taste like.
One of the main drinks I want to try that was discontinued is Dr Pepper Red Fusion. I also want to try New Coke, and Razzberry Pepsi.
I heard about this contest through bevreview.com
1 – I've just found a stash of both throwbacks and love them both, definitely going to miss the mountain dew when it's gone.
2 – A pepsi blue or a mountain dew pitch black would really hit the spot right now.
3 – Actually found out about the contest on the regular bevreview.com site.
Still furiously trying to locate Pepsi Throwback here in Lexington, KY. I do miss my Crystal Pepsi. And I totally heard about this thru Twitter. Thanks!
1. I bought a 12 pack of each and thought that they were fantastic. However my first cans were warm and they taste even worse than normal soda warm.
2. I want Pepsi Blue back in my life so very badly.
3. Googled Mountain Dew Throwback to see more information, thanks for writing your reviews!
1) Haven't found this yet… Either Mtn Dew OR Pepsi Throwback. I look daily, and am looking in more than one grocery store, convenience store, gas station, etc. I want to try this stuff BAD!!
2) I want so badly to drink Crystal Pepsi (or Crystal Clear Pepsi) again. That was easily my favourite soda, and I would absolutely KILL to have that soda again! I've found a taste that is SIMILAR (Diet Rite Pure Zero), but I cannot find anything that tastes like Crystal Pepsi.
3) I heard about this contest by browsing my RSS feeds, but I also heard about it through Twitter. I don't think saying "both" counts, and if it doesn't, then one or the other will do just fine.
BJ
No Pepsi Throwback in my area yet…matter of fact: this is the first I've heard of it and now I'm intrigued.
I really miss the old-school, sweet-formula of Clearly Canadian cherry soda. It used to be sold all over the place in my hometown on L.I., NY but now I think they only have it in a few states and they changed it to more of a less-sweet flavored sparkling water.
I heard about this contest on Twitter.
I been able to find it here in Utah yet.
I really really really want Pitch Black II again, permanently. I would drink the hell outta that stuff.
Saw the contest in my RSS reader
(Google Reader)
1- Tried both Throwbacks honestly not that impressed doubt its the same recipe as from its inception
2- How about some original recipe Gatorade !
3- Found out through site I check at least once a day.
1. Both throwbacks are amazing. I bought 8 12 packs. I think the pepsi is slightly better.
2. I Want Mountain Dew Pitch Back 2 back.
3. Found out through twitter.
1) Picked up both types of Throwback but haven't tried them yet. Waiting to have some friends over so we can all experience it at the same time.
2) As another poster said, a Surge would be amazing right now.
3) RSS
1) I have not yet tried either of them, but hope to pick some up at the store later this afternoon.
2) I wish I could drink Crystal Pepsi again. That would be awesome.
3) Through Feed Burner
i havent tried either throwback beverage yet, cant find them locally.
i dont even remember if i like it or not, but i'd be curious about trying OK SODA again!
saw this on RSS feed
1. No, have not tried either of them. Would like to.
2. I can't think of any from the past, but one I haven't had in a very long time is a good 'ole Cream Soda.
3. Saw via Twitter
I tried Pepsi Throwback and loved it, definitely superior to regular Pepsi. I'm excited to try it again because the only thing I could compare it to at the time was kosher Pepsi, which is still plentiful in New York (and where Throwback is MIA so far). Also excited to try Mountain Dew even though I'm not usually a fan.
I'd love to see Royal Crown Draft Cola come back.
I found BevReview last month looking for information about Pepsi Throwback and now follow it via RSS.
I have not tried it yet, but I hope it's good like Pepsi Natural.
I'd like Like cola to come back and make another stab at it.
Found out about the contest via Twitter.
!) I haven't been able to find either throwback in Denver yet so winning would brighten my week. Anyone had any luck in Denver finding some yet?
2) Sasparilla
3) RSS
1. Haven't tried it yet–and I am positively gagging for it. I absolutely remember Mt Dew tasted better when I was young, just like Mexican Cokes taste way better than domestic these days.
2. Folks have already said OK Soda and Rondo, so to be original I'm gonna have to say "Teem".
3. I found out about the contest by visiting the bevreview homepage to see if you'd reviewed Mountain Dew Throwback yet. And I found bevreview via a Google search; you guys are the top two hits for "mountain dew throwback".
I found Pepsi Throwback in the end cap cooler at my local grocery store. There were two left and I bought both. I love the taste, it really reminds me of summers when I was a kid, coming in from playing kickball with the neighborhood kids and downing a big glass of Pepsi over ice. Maybe it's a nostalgic thing,but I think it tastes much better than regular Pepsi with HFCS.
Growing up we were a Pepsi household but we also drank Shasta on occasion and Cherikee Red, which is not available outside of Western PA (I am in Chicago.) I would love to find both.
I first read about Pepsi Throwback here on BevReview, I am a regular visitor and have the RSS feed, which is how I heard about the contest this morning.
I have been anticipating the arrival of Pepsi Throwback for nearly a month. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any in the Portland (OR) area.
I would love to see the return of Royal Crown Draft Cola (not the same thing as normal RC Cola).
Twitter.
1. I bought a twelve pack of both Pepsi Throwback and Dew Throwback from a Schnuck's store in St. Louis, MO. I really liked the Pepsi, but wasn't that impressed with the Dew. The Dew was way too sweet for my palate these days.
2. Does anybody remember Hubba Bubba soda? I remember seeing a TV commercial for this in the '80s and looking around everywhere for it…but alas, I never found it. Oh, to have had a taste of that soda. It would be awesome if somebody brought that back.
3. Twitter!
1. I have not tried it, but I would have loved to do so! I haven't gone to check out any of the local stores yet, I've stuck it to the markets I typically shop at. This is something I need to change!
2. I really miss Dr. Pepper Red Fusion. I know it wasn't the best drink for some, but for me, it was one of the best. The whole Pepsi Blue craze as well was a fun time in beverage history. I would love to see some Red Fusion on the shelves again!
3. Twitter follower!
1. I haven't tried either throwback product and won't. I'm on the Atkins diet right now so drinking a soday with sugar now is counterproductive!
2. I would love to have a Diet Pepsi AM right now
3. I heard about the contest via @BevReview's twitter account
1. Haven't tried them yet, because I haven't found them yet. Central Indiana gets stuff like a month after everybody else.
2. I really wish I could have some of the grape Mountain Dew that was out for Halloween a few years ago. It was awesome.
3. Via my good friend Steve Tanner's Twitter account, of course!
It's sad, yet serendipitous. No luck finding Throwback in southern Utah, but the search is what brought me to BevReview. Hopefully soon. HOPEFULLY! SOON! ARE YOU LISTENING? YOU UNFEELING RETRO GODS?! Forgive me.
The drink I would love to get my hands on is ASPEN. Clear apple-flavored soda from the late '70s. I remember trying to "liberate" a can from the local liquor store when I was 11 years old. The authorities saw my "freedom fighting" differently. Luckily, we have Apple Beer available locally and it's actually better than Aspen was.
My Twitter feed let me know about this contest. Keep up the good work!
1) Haven't found Throwback yet, but the hunt continues!
2) This may be a little off the money, but my retro-drink of choice would be Hi-C's Ecto Cooler.
3) I found out from @BevReview on Twitter.
1. I've tried both flavors. I liked the Pepsi flavor, much better than the normal Pepsi. The MD I didn't like. It seemed "flat" as far as flavor and seemed to miss that MD kick you get with normal MD.
2. I would love to sit and drink a nice cold grape, orange, or red Nehi…but it would have to be out of a glass bottle.
3. Twitter is how I heard about the contest
1 – Haven't found it in Springfield, IL yet but I'm looking everyday
2 – Quattro. Sold in the 80/90's in the UK. Fruit Soda, yummmmm
3 – Found site from Google in my hunt for Throwback news and trying to find some!!
Rex in Denver : Safeway has it in 12 packs and if you buy 3 , they are only $3.49 per 12 pack.
I absolutely loved the Pepsi throwback, I hope they will continue with it after the promotion.
I have yet to try any of the throwbacks.
The drink I'd love to have right now would be Pepsi Crystal. It was great especially when you put it in the freezer and let partially become a slush.
I found out about the contest from this site.
I'm surprised I haven't found any Throwback yet…not even any results on twitter for throwback and texas!
It's not exactly a lost beverage, but I miss Moxie and wish it had more of a national distribution. Tasty drink.
I added the BevReview RSS feed to my reader after seeing a link from another foodie site (don't remember which!).
1. I have not tried either of Throwback's. I'm interested in the Mountain Dew for sure!
2. I would like to have crystal Pepsi back. To be honest I never got to try it but I've head so much about it.
3. I learned about this on Twitter
I haven't found any Throwback yet, and I reaaaaalllllly want some. My favorite beverage of old was RC Draft — it had this delicious, creamy taste that I just loved. I found out about this contest from BevReview on Twitter!
1. Haven't found throwback yet, but I can't wait to try it!
2. Although not long-forgotten, I was a big fan of Mountain Dew Game Fuel. I was so excited when I heard it was making a comeback this summer!
3. Browsing.
I haven't been able to find the damn thing yet. I personally called Pepsi and they said it'd take a week. Anyway, I'd like to have the Super Mario Brothers pop brought back, and I found this contest on Google when searching for Pepsi Throwback info.
I haven't found Throwback yet, but I'm going to go hunting today. I found this contest via Google as I was researching Pepsi's various real-sugared offspring, so now maybe I won't have to hunt!
Y'know what I miss? RC Edge. That stuff was off the freakin' chain. It was like Jolt Cola, only half the price and available in the area I lived in at the time. Eventually, though, RC canceled it. I think I still have an empty Edge bottle around here somewhere. I also miss Cheerwine. I know it's still available, but not in Louisiana.
i have experience both pepsi and dew , and are in many waltmart supercenters, but not in the soda isle ,they are in the gatorade or juice isle, are a buck at the waltmart and yes they are different.
but then i am fortunate to have access to mexican soda and that is the real ticket.!
1) Can't find it at my local Wawa or QuickCheck in Central Jersey, but I cant wait to head to Wal-Mart to try and find some tommorow
2) Diet Pepsi Jazz tasted great, and I'd love to have that come back again
3) Found out about it (and this site) thru somethingawful.com. Pretty cool site too
I'm trying a Pepsi Throwback right now, and I have to say, I don't like it. I like the HFCS version much better.
I miss Towne Club soda. There used to be a big distributor of it right down the street from me but closed up shop over 15 years ago. They had a ton of different flavors of drinks. There are/were some stores around here that carried a few select flavors, but they never had the ones I really wanted.
The pepsi rep for Target swore it would be there this weekend, so I'm still waiting. I would love to be able to find Jolt again. Red Bull Cola just doesn't match up.
I was pleased to find both throwback sodas at Wal-Mart, and not at a premium price. I like the Pepsi throwback, though I agree with the blog writer that kosher Pepsi has more flavor.
I'm excited about these sodas as I'm allergic to corn and can't have HFCS sodas. Wish they would continue these year-round. The Mountain Dew seems to have citric acid from corn, though, and I won't be drinking any more than my first can.
I wish I could find some Like cola! Didn't you Like Like?
I have BevReview in my favorites ever since you covered kosher Coke and Pepsi for Passover.
Would like to see more about beverages without HFCS and dextrose/maltodextrin for us corn-allergic people.
A friend mentioned Pepsi Throwback while we were talking about HFCS, I hadn't even heard of this stuff so I Googled it and this blog had the most info on it. I haven't been able to try it yet but I am definitely going to first thing tomorrow, I really enjoy soda but something about HFCS just makes it hard to enjoy on a regular basis.
I would love to bring back Coca-Cola Blak, but the more coffee-flavored French version as opposed to the super-sweet American version. If that is not long-forgotten enough, I'd like to bring back Surge. I remember drinking it every day as a kid, it was the best!
1. Haven't tried it yet!
2. I miss Pepsi Blue. Seriously.
3. Was reading through the site archives after reading about Throwback
I heard about Pepsi Throwback on this site, when you responded to a Twitter post of mine (DanGreen23) talking about Pepsi Natural. I came back tonight to see if there was a list being kept of where you can find it, so that I could add a couple of stores to the list.
I picked up my first Pepsi Throwback tonight and was very impressed with the taste, and smoothness of the drink. I hope Pepsi decides to keep it around for good.
The one drink they stopped making that I really like is Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. I thought it was great, but I guess nobody else did. I'd also like to get my hands on some Kayo Chocolate Drink again, too. I think they still make it, but I haven't seen it anywhere.
Haven't been able to find it.
I miss Clear Pepsi and most of all Pepsi Blue… it was like drinking a snow cone. Heck I miss Pepsi Raw and it's fairly new
I found about this from Twitter… I started reading BevReview after first looking around for Pepsi Throwback.
I am sipping on a pepsi throw back right now. I'm not sure how I feel yet. It seems kind a flat compared to reg. Pepsi and it also seems to have a more acidic aftertaste. I wish had an ice cold sun drop to drink today. Every now and then i run across some I think it is my favorite retro soda. I found the site just googling the throw backs one of my buddies told me about it and I was intrigued. I used to live in LA and got mexican MT Dew and Pepsi alot. What i Really miss is the glass bottles.
I have tried both Pepsi and Mountain Dew throwback and think they are great. While the "flavor" isn't that much different, I feel that the throwbacks don't leave the same "sticky film" on your tongue or in your mouth. They just overall feel better.
Remember KICK? I would do anything to get my hands on some of that again. It was like Mountain Dew with crack.
I found out about the contest from twitter, and I'm so glad that BevReview is on it!
I have no tried either of the Throwbacks yet.
I would have to say Pepsi Blue was a good beverage.
I found out about this from the Pepsi Twitter.
Haven't even seen it in stores in MN.
I miss Josta. BRING BACK JOSTA!!
Twitter, from Pepsi of all people.
Have yet to try it yet but am going out today and going to search for it all over campus.
I could go for a Surge perhaps… Don't know if I'd still like it but i loved it as a kid.
Heard about this giveaway via Twitter.
Right this very minute a Pepsi Cola Throwback is on my desk. It's pretty tasty. It gives me more gas than regular HFC-added Pepsi.
I miss drinking Faygo red pop. While it's still available, I don't drink it anymore.
I found out about the giveaaway in many different ways. I follow on twitter and on Facebook and found out about it from the RSS feed.
Despite having looked for it at dozens of stores since Monday, I have been unable to find Pepsi Throwback thus far.
If I could try any long lost soft drink, it would be Pepsi Ice Cucumber. I've always been curious just what that was all about.
And of course, I came here through twitter, via @pepsi's retweet, specifically.
I've tried Pepsi Throwback! I had no idea that there was a Mountain Dew, too. Pepsi Natural is good also!
I used to drink some kind of odd pop at my grandmother's home in Massachusetts, White Eagle. Although all flavors tasted weirdly the same, I'd like to get the cream soda again.
Heard of this via Twitter.
I have no tried either of the Throwbacks yet.
I wish I could drink right now – the original Diet Mt. Dew.
I found out about this from the Pepsi Twitter.
I just tried the Mt. Dew I don't like it at all. It has a funky after taste
1. haven't found throwback yet (argh!!)
2. there was a line of sodas from when i was a kid (late 80s) which had bubblegum and cotton candy flavors. i want that.
3. twitter!
1. I have not tried the "throwback" drinks yet. Haven't even seen them in the stores! I'm looking though!
2. I'd love to have an RC cola. Brings back memories of Summer Camp
3. I heard about this through this blog: http://jimmygun.blogspot.com/
1. No Throwback in Mount Morris yet! I may have to head into Chicago to throw back a Throwback!
2. It's been awhile since I had an RC cola! But an Orange Crush in a bottle would be good and nostalgic too!
3. Heard about the contest from my facebook buddy Steve!
1. I have tried both Pepsi and Mtn Dew Throwback. Pepsi Throwback tastes good. I thought the Mtn Dew tasted like diet dew.
2. I wish I could taste a New Coke. I dont really remember when they changed the formula. I would like to taste one now.
3. I learned about his contest from checking on bevreview for new posts.
1. I have tried neither Pepsi Throwback nor Mt. Dew throwback. I am interested in trying both however since I have tried Pepsi natural and enjoyed it.
2. I miss Crystal Clear Pepsi, I totally loved that stuff as a kid.
3. I heard about this contest from twitter, I follow pepsi there.
1. I have tried Mountain Dew Throwback, but not Pepsi Throwback. I am not a big fan of the Mountain Dew Throwback. It tastes more like diet (or almost as though it's sweetened with Splenda or something).
2. I've never tried Crystal Pepsi (I'm too young!), but I've always wanted to try it.
3. I heard about this from Twitter!
I just tried them both today. I really enjoy them. The flavor and smoothness is so much better than the Pepsi and Mountain Dew that I'm used to. I found out about this contest through digg.com. I would be interested in trying what the new Coca-cola tasted like. I wonder what made it so bad that people wanted the old flavor back.
was at the store restocking my Mountain Dew supply and saw the Throwback on an endcap so i grabbed a pack. now after i got home i looked it up and found this thread from Google search. drinking my first one atm and am really enjoying the flavor. may go back and buy more shortly. Never was to much of a fan of Crystal pepsi not sure why. but for a old soda i havent had in a while it would either be orange crush or grape kneehigh
I've tried Pepsi Throwback but not Mountain Dew Throwback. It tastes great! Very smooth and sweet. I know this isn't that old but I'm young so I would love to have Pepsi Vanilla back, because that stuff was amazing. I heard about this on Twitter.
1. Just tried a Pepsi Throwback (had to special order from the distributor that fills my parent's machine – since I can't find it yet in stores). Prefer it already over regular Pepsi made with HFCS! For me there isn't that thick syrup after taste. Haven't gotten to try Mountain Dew Throwback yet.
2. Pepsi Blue or Surge. Loved the taste of Pepsi Blue, and Surge was better than Mountain Dew in my humble opinion!
3. Heard about the giveaway via Twitter. Originally I found your site after Diggnation talked about the Throwback announcement. I've been following via RSS and Twitter since!
Great site! I tried Pepsi Throwback and Googled it to see what else they changed about the formula. That's why I'm here. I LOVE real sugar drinks, and prefer them ten to one over HFCS drinks — but something is a little off with Pepsi Throwback.
I noticed right off the bat that it's not as carbonated as regular Pepsi. Not sure if this is part of the Throwback formula or a side effect of the change in ingredient.
There's also kind of a strange aftertaste reminiscent of sugar substitutes like Sweet-n-Low. Pepsi Throwback isn't quite as sweet as Pepsi — it tastes more like Coke, which is why I thought maybe "Throwback" also meant an older recipe in addition to the change in sweetener.
I got to try Pepsi and Mountain Dew throwback recently and had the following opinions. Pepsi throwback is amazing. Mountain Dew throwback is very good considering that I don't like regular Mountain Dew at all.
If I could have any soda from the past, it would definitely be Jack Frost from 7up inc.
I heard about this contest via the BevReview Twitter updates, and found the site initially found the site search after Throwbacks were mentioned on DiggNation.
1) I haven't tried Pepsi or Dew Throwback yet but I'm a die-hard Pepsi addict. I'd love to try this "new" product from Pepsi.
2) Tab; if they still make it, I can't find it anywhere. My mom had Tab all the time in the fridge when I was growing up. That ugly pink can!
3) Saw the tweet about your giveaway on Twitter.
1) I tried the Dew Throwback just yesterday. I liked it, not sure if I love it yet. I need to have a few more.
2) I would love to find Crystal Pepsi! It was awesome! Plus how can you go wrong using a fantastic Van Halen song in all of your commercials. (I hope someone out there remembers that besides me. lol!)
3) I did a search for Dew Throwback to see what this Natural Sugar thing was all about and stumbled on your site. It's my newest bookmark!
1.) Finally got some Throwback from my Father-In-Law – still haven't found any near Westerville though! I love it!!
2.) Original Wild Cherry Pepsi…
3.) Heard about through Twitter, but found your website about 2 weeks ago while looking up some info on Throwback – I like the site a lot…the whole "Finding #throwback" thing was a lot easier thanks to BevReview.
1. I've tried both. The Pepsi T/B is much better.
2. I'd kill if they re-released Pepsi Blue. Noone I knew liked it but me.
3. I follow you on Twitter
1. Have yet to try throwback, just heard about it today and will begin searching soon.
2. I was craving Pepsi Blue last night!
3. Found the site while googling upcoming mountain dew game fuel and then decided to see if there were posts on Throwback and found this.
1. Only have tried Pepsi Throwback so far. First sip tasted a little "flat" but with each sip after I could taste REAL sugar and it made me happy!
2. I LOVED Pepsi Vanilla. I have 4 half cases in my garage, too old to drink, wish it would come back around.
3. BevReview happens to be at the top of my bookmarks list (sorted alphbetically) so I click on it a lot to see the latest news/reviews.
1. I LOVE Pepsi Throwback. Normally, I'm a Coke drinker, but as soon as I saw that Pepsi was releasing a sugar version of its product, I had to try it. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did! I love this stuff, and I'll be sorry to see it go in a few weeks.
2. I really miss drinking Surge. It was awesome! I used to mix it with blue Gatorade Frost. That was the best!
3. I found this site, coincidentally, when I was looking up Pepsi Throwback to see what it was all about. I was sad to see it's for such a limited time.
1. Not even my friend who works for a Pepsi distributer knows what Pepsi Throwback is. I first found out about it on Digg and have been coming back here for more info since then. My college only carries Coke products, and I have been to at least 5 local stores and none of them carry it. I need it!
2. The cola that came in Lunchables in the late 90s was pretty good.
It was different from Coke and Pepsi and it disappeared without a trace. I also liked Josta.
3. I came back to look at the review of Pepsi Throwback and saw that there was a giveaway.
Plus, my Chicago Cubs hat is getting worn down, and that Pepsi hat has the right colors.
I picked up a few twelve packs of both the Mountain Dew and the Pepsi and I'm really taken back to the past by the flavors! The Mountain Dew has less bite than it does now, But tastes just as lovely and sweet as did in the old days (I can almost feel diabetic shock lol). The Pepsi has a very soft taste that is nice and sweet, This is what I remember after little league games as a kid. I really hope that they keep these products around for awhile, But seeing as it's Pepsi I have already stocked up just as I did with my old favorite, Josta!
Found the website & contest after a Google search.
#1 Son saw Mountain Dew Throwback at a Wal-Mart in Moundsville, WV. Wifey humored him, and bought a 12-pack. I tasted a can… and instantly, I went back to the mid-1970's. I just got back from that same Wal-Mart, after picking up a couple 12-packs of Pepsi TB, and one more 12-pack of Mountain Dew TB. Still about a 1/4 pallet of each there.
Both Pepsi TB & Mountain Dew TB are great. The big thing I noticed right away was that both are not syrupy, the way HFCS Pepsi & MD are.
Oh yes, I miss Keck's Ginger Ale. I'll settle for a bottle of Cherokee Red made with sugar, though. Used to find both in 32 oz. returnable bottles.
I haven't tried them yet, but I have lived in south America for a while, where they still make their soft drinks with good old sugar. I love them! I am so glad they are out, I only wish they had the good sense to make it permanent!
Yabba-Dabba-Do!
It wasn't really a soft drink, it was a fruit juice thing in a big can, endorsed by FRED FLINSTONE! I wanted it soooo bad. My mom kept promising, but she never came through. I've never forgotten that doggone drink.
I totally heard it through the twitter-feeds.
I've tried both Pepsi and Mt. Dew throwback, both great and somehow surpassed my experience with Dublin Dr. Pepper.
This isn't that long forgotten but I'd love some Pepsi Holiday Spice. Was going to say OK Soda but several people beat me to it.
Saw the contest when I was catching up on BevReview posts tonight.
My opinions:
Pepsi Throwback tastes like a Coke.
Mountain Dew is full of squishy sugary goodness.
And my throwback I'd love to down right now at this exact moment?
Crystal Pepsi.
And i found this website contest after trolling through bevreview.com. Awesom website btw.
I tried the Pepsi throwback and while I don't usually drink caffeinated beverages, it was great, didn't have any of that syrupy aftertaste that tends to make a ton of phlegm build up in the throat (gross).
Honestly, I miss everything coming in glass bottles.
I found this site through a link from the SomethingAwful forums.
By the by: I was checking out at Walmart today and in a cooler were 12oz glass bottles of 7up products. that all had pure cane sugar (according to a sticker on the cooler) instead of HFCS.
I had an A&W Root Beer and my roommate had a Dr. Pepper and they were amazing. They were all a buck each. I also saw Orange Crush and 7up.
This was in Michigan, I didn't even know they were making these but I hope they keep doing it, I don't drink caffeine so these are absolutely perfect. You might want to look into it.
1. Tried both, Pepsi TB has a much cleaner taste, I like it. Mountain Dew is "cleaner" also, but also seems to lack a certain "heaviness" that the original Mountain Dew. I like it though, just different.
2. Jolt cola
3. Browsing BevReview
1. I've tried Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback – Pepsi throwback is absolutely delicious, and Mountain Dew tastes a lot better.
2. New Coke!
3. Twitter and I'm a longtime reader.
1. I'm trying hard to find Pepsi throwback here in Omaha, NE. If it's anything like Mexican Coke I know I'll like it way better than regular Pepsi.
2. When I was younger I was a fiend for Tab, I kinda wish I could have some now.
3. A friend linked this site to me.
1. I can't find Pepsi Throwback yet but I've looked everywhere. Can't wait to find it.
2. Pepsi Blue
3. Twitter!
1. I'm desperately looking for either Pepsi or Mt. Dew Throwback, so I can vote with my dollar and get more made. And get my friends to try it, and bring it to bars with me for mixed drink taste tests. My obsession with this is a little scary.
2. In my formative geek years, I was fueled by Josta and Surge…either of those would be great to see again. I think Surge is almost retro by now. Before that, I lived on a boat in Mexico, drinking all the local sodas. My favorite was regular pepsi, in a glass bottle.
3. I was Googling for news on Pepsi Throwback, and started reading the blog.
1. Im sill looking for the Pepsi Throwback.
2. I miss New York Seltzer!
3. Found this browsing and searching for info on Pepsi Throwback
I have not tried Pepsi or Mountain Dew Throwback yet. Looking for them in the Modesto, CA area
I used to drink alot of Frostie Rootbeer and I don't think it is aroud any longer.
I found this site from browsing.
1) Have not tried it yet, hope to tomorrow. Will be buying some for everyone at work to try as well.
2) Jolt Cola
3) I was Googling around to find out when the throwback beverages were going to be available in WI. Looks like tomorrow is the day.
Wow – haven't tried it yet because I didn't even know about it. Thanks! Going to have to get some – I grew up with "real" Pepsi and miss it. I found you by googling and all of a sudden I have a hankering for a Kayo…just to see if it really tastes as good as I remember.
i have not tryid the pepsi and mounton dew but like the rest of you i'm furious for it your pal bevreview .com Jacob richard huber oh ps i'm also furious about the limited time contes for the mounton dew and pepsi trowback
One of my 9-year-old twin boys is fascinated with Pepsi. He collects old cans and bottles and anything with a Pepsi logo on it. I have not tried the throwback Pepsi but he has!!! He loves it and also kept a full bottle to put in his collection. Obviously, I heard about this contest from him. He would love to win the stuff!!! I drank Pepsi as a child and it was my favorite! Maybe his taste for Pepsi was inherited from me!!!!
Havent been able to find it… getting to the point where i might buy a 12 pack on eBay… looks sweet through.. hope its better than passover Coke…coke sucks.
1. I've tried it (drinking now, actually) and I'm in the Atlanta area. It's a great drink. I bought it in cans and compared it to an HFCS Pepsi. No comparison! I'm definitely buying more to try and send Pepsi a message.
2. Crystal Pepsi. It was a peculiar flavor that was definitely not one that I would consume regularly, but I wouldn't mind having it occasionally.
3. Browsing
1. Still haven't been able to find either of the throwbacks here. Gonna keep searching!
2. Could really go for a Josta right now
3. Found this giveaway while browsing BevReview
I haven't tried this yet, but I look forward to drinking it. I love Pepsi.
I remember drinking something called Quest…or maybe it was Qwest. I think that it was flavored, sparkling water. I can't remember exactly, but I know that I liked it. lol
I found a link on twitter and it led me here.
I was browsing after I found the review for the Throwbacks, figured why not?
I found them both at a gas station today and was excited to try them. I can definitely taste a difference in both. The Mountain Dew is definitely less bitter and has less of a fizzy bite, which I like. It also went down a lot smoother and didn't leave that nasty syrupy film on my tongue.
I tasted less of a difference with the Pepsi, it tasted more like diet cola to me, but not quite. Again, less of a bite and it went down smoother. My mom, dad and sister all tried it and it was instant to them. They all said it tasted just like the stuff they'd used to get in glass bottles.
As for a drink I miss, it would have to be SoBe Mr. Green. I loved that stuff so much it was ridiculous.
I just tried the Throwbacks today. It's nice; it tastes like an actual drink, not like a syrupy mess. What I really miss is Surge; I'm a sucker for citrusy caffeinated drinks named after electric events.
And through bevreview's twitter account, natch.
1. Just bought Pepsi Throwback 10 minutes ago – found it at the local grocery, can't wait to try it! (Should probably try it before posting this..but, i like the suspense.
2. Pepsi Clear was one of my favorites from the past – loved it and really the only kind of Pepsi I loved!
3. Found the contest through Twitter as always, and from checking up on the blog! woohoo!
I'm trying to find it! It shouldn't be too hard as I live in NYC.
Coca Cola Blak, the European version.
I found this through the RSS feed.
This is a repost from another thread in this forum. I did not see this thread before I posted there. I found this website by googling Mountain Dew Throwback.
I finally found the Mountain Dew Throwback at a local grocery store here in Mesa Arizona. I bought plenty just in case it did taste like the original. I am sad to say it does not. It is very tart and lacks the concentrated orange juice which even the HFCS version has in it. The main ingredient after water and sugar is citric acid, which explains the excessive tartness. I remember the original being much smoother to drink. I cannot drink this as fast as I could the original back when I was a kid. I believe Pepsi blew it on this formulation in order to shave a penny or so from the cost. Perhaps the Pepsi marketing department should have hired someone who actually drank the original Mountain Dew to test the formula before going cheap on the ingredients. I do not drink diet because it's sweetener is not natural like sugar, and the same for HFCS. If Pepsi wants me to purchase Mountain Dew with sugar in the future, perhaps made in their newly acquired Americas bottling plants, they had better go back to the original formula, otherwise I will just skip it, as it is too tart and not smooth enough. I guess I will just have to look at my 1966 "Yahoo Mountain Dew" bottle on the shelf and remember the good ole days.
Maybe Coca Cola will re-introduce a sugar version of Mello Yello true to its original formula. Again the emphasis on mellow, not tart.
For all the newbie drinkers of Mountain Dew who thought this was what it was supposed to taste like and didn't like it, trust me when I say, you would have liked the original version much better.
I agree with the poster who more or less said " Nobody cares about the packaging, it is and has always been about the taste".
1. Pepsi throwback. I stumbled upon it today at a Target in Sacramento and bought two bottles. Stuck it in the fridge, one for dinner and I liked it! I am a Coke man through and through but this was different.
2. Drink I miss and want to see? Hires Root Beer!
3. Was researching Pepsi Throwback and came across the site by luck. Knowledgeable stuff! I used to order Red Rock Cola for a small mom and pop grocery and this site does soda justice.
Found you a month ago looking for info on Kosher Coke.Came back for the scoop on Throwback. Been back regularly for udpdates.After visiting 18 stores this past week , showing the pic from here to clueless clerks (yes I am/was a bit obsessed. but only 8 weeks! cmon!) Friday 2am: last chance visit to a 24hr supermarket …as I turned into the soda aisle expecting disappointment … the throwbck logos seemed to materialize in front of me! I bought all 6 12packs and the last Pepsi .And 4 20 oz bottles. The Dew was lighter then i imagined,more of a Mello Yello profile. After adjusting ..I'm satisified,although lack of OJ does concern me as well. Pepsi was more of a surprise ; a rich full flavor with no tangy HFCS taint. The beverage I miss from long ago: a Mountain Dew at the fountain with way too much syrup! Runnerup:Mello Yello Afterglow.
1. Tried both the pepsi and mountain dew throwbacks. got two 20 ounce bottles of each of them from a campus market. The pepsi throwback is good, and I can taste a subtle difference in the taste between sugar in the throwback version and hfcs in the other version… the mountain dew throwback version is awesome… so awesome in fact, that i will never drink hfcs mountain dew again… the taste is different, it makes my tongue do a "happy dance".
2. I can't really think of any long lost beverages that I'd love to try since I'm still young, but I would love to have a bottle of regular kofola from Slovakia. I drank quite a bit of it when i was over there about two years ago.
3. I heard about this giveaway by typing pepsi throwback into yahoo, and then having your page come up in the search results.
I found both the Pepsi and Mountain Dew at Target in Oakbrook (suburb of Chicago). I bought them before the sale price kicked-in, but being transported back to the 80's with that first sip was totally worth it. Unlike most folks on here, I'm digging the Mountain Dew better than the Pepsi, but I typically don't drink regular Pepsi. If I could have any drink right now, I'd have to say Snapple's Mint Iced Tea…I'm still bummed that it was dropped back in the day. I found bevreview a couple weeks ago searching for "Passover Coke" and have been checking it out ever since. Keep up the great work.
I have not tried any of the Throwbacks yet. The internets are taunting me. The search continues. (That'll teach me to move away from a major metropolitan area!)
I had a drink once called "Storm" that was like Spite with a high caffeine content. It was interesting. I wouldn't mind trying it again.
Heard about this through Twitter!
I heard a radio commercial for throwback this morning. I've tried a couple of other sugar sweetened colas including mexican coke, and I do like them better.
I found out about the contest via twitter
1. I saw a commercial for Pepsi Throwback last night, but so far have had no luck in finding it, as goes for Mountain Dew Throwback, which is even more disappointing, since I live off Mountain Dew.
2. Pepsi Blue, by far, especially since the announcement of Mountain Dew Game Fuel (or should I shamefully say, Mtn Dew Game Fuel). 7up's dnL would be pretty cool too!
3. In a frantic search to figure out more about the new Game Fuel flavors, I wound up at BevReview and continued reading other articles relating to Mountain Dew and Pepsi, which is where I found this contest…
I heard of this contest merely by checking in on the site, as I'd read the Pepsi Throwback review last week.
I just bought a twelve-pack of Pepsi Throwback and I love it. This stuff tastes cleaner and much better than the normal Pepsi with high fructose corn syrup.
The sweetness is a bit more apparent, though not turned up or anything. And the best part is it doesn't leave you with a gummy, chemical taste in your mouth after each sip, i.e. it's much smoother.
Coincidentally, my father – a staunch Pepsi aficionado – prefers the HFCS Pepsi. To each his own, but I hope Pepsi Throwback's here to stay. I doubt it, but I hope nonetheless. I'll definitely try Mountain Dew Throwback as well.
As for a long-forgotten beverage of the past I'd like to try, I'd like to try Pepsi Strawberry Burst. I believe it came out in 1991 but I never got the chance to try it.
I have not tried any of the throwback drinks yet! I want to! A drink's not a real soft drink unless it has the real stuff.
I found out about this contest through a search on your site.
I miss Double Cola (a drink local to East Tennessee) and Grape Nehi.
I have tried both Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback. I liked the Pepsi with sugar, but not so much the Mountain Dew.
Remember Pepsi Blue? I really wish I could have some of that right now.
I found this contest via Google, searching for more info on Pepsi Throwback!
Heard about the Throwbacks for a while now, but haven't seen any on the local shelves here in Beaverton, OR. Soda I kinda missed from days long past—Apple Sidra. Read of this on Facebook.
I haven't tried Pepsi Throwback since I haven't been able to find it in my area. I'd love to try it and after reading reviews have looked forward to it. I guess it's like other new products and you can't live in a rural area and expect to be counted. I do miss Pepsi Holiday Spice and Pepsi Clear but I guess others didn't like them as well as I did. Maybe one day, I'll run across some Pepsi Throwback. Until then, I'll just stick to water, tea, and coffee.
Have been looking for the throwbacks around Mesa, AZ – I am a big Dew fan.
Can Jolt still be found? That's a long-forgotten soda that I loved. And Mello Yellow wasn't as good as Dew, but it was a viable option.
Read of this on Facebook. Would love to try the Mt. Dew Throwback, and any of the others that try real sugar!
I haven't tried MD Throwback yet, I just heard about it an hour ago but, I'm going to look for it this weekend.
I miss Surge, yeah I really do.
I found this site via a Wired.com post and I found this contest via the BevReview.com RSS feed.
Haven't tried the throwbacks but I certainly will. We are big Pepsi drinkers.
Thanks
1- looked for it this weekend didn't see it yet in Dallas – I'll have to visit the Pepsi Product Facts and see if it is listed in the Product Locator!!. hope to soon. love the thought of no HFCS
2- would love to have an IBC rootbeer in a popcap top bottle, the brown bottles were great.
3- follow you on Twitter – actually because of throwback!
1. I have tried Mountain Dew Throwback so far and I love the way there is no aftertaste on your tongue after you take a sip. This is the most signature thing about it!
2. I miss Dr. Pepper: Red Fusion
3. Found it on Twitter via @BevReview !
1. I finally found Pepsi Throwback in my area and just tried it. The result–I LOVE IT. It gets rid of all those qualities I dislike about Pepsi (vaguely flat taste, too sweet, etc.) and tastes crisp and mellow. I think your description of Coke-like was pretty accurate, but I like this better.
2. Ok this is random, but whenever my mom would have a party, she'd make sherbert punch and I loved. It wasn't just any kind of sherbert punch either, it was the kind with the frozen juice mold floating in the middle of it. YUMMY!
3. I'm a somewhat long time follower of you guys on Twitter.
Have yet to try Pepsi Throwback, but hope to find some soon. I don't normally think about any "long lost beverages" but I definitely dig any pop with sugar instead of HFCS (Jones, Red Bull Cola, etc). I was reading about Throwback on BevReview a couple weeks ago, but just saw the contest on Twitter and here I am!
1. I have not tried either of the throwback flavors but since hearing about them am super excited to find them.
2. Surge. it was cheap, and tasted great
3. I heard about this contest on twitter which I started following BevReview on after reading about Mountain Dew throwback on Wired's Geekdad which referenced the site
1. I haven't tried the Throwback products yet; the last couple months have been nothing but diet drinks for me.
2. A few years ago a summer camp that I attended offered Mr. Green soda pop by SoBe. After 4 bottles a day for the entire week, I became hooked. After returning home, I have not seen the stuff sold in any local stores since. Sad day.
3.my friend introduced me to this site today.
I have not tried the Throwback sodas yet. Haven't even seen them out.
I miss Peach Nehi.
1. I've tried both Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback I like both but I love the mountain dew throwback the taste was not as strong but the caffeine level was still there.
2. liquid x
3. my wife showed me this site.
1. I haven't gotten the chance to find either yet but I'm looking.
2. Surge
3. twitter
1. I absolutely love the pepsi throwback I found it at midnight at a walmart on the 19th.
2. Surge!!!
3. following this site!! YAY
1. I haven't tried this yet, I normally don't shop at the major grocery store chains so I haven't even seen any of it around yet!
2. Orbitz.. just for the novelty, the drink itself tasted horrible. Or maybe fruitopia!
3. I have bevreview bookmarked!
I just loaded up on 12 packs of Throwback Mountain Dew and Throwback Pepsi and man are they delicious. I googled Pepsi giveaway and found this giveaway, so here I am. As for an old drink, I like orange drinks and I remember drinking Nehi Orange, but I haven't found it in years. Well, there is my entry, I am crossing my fingers I can win this great stuff!! These Throwback drinks are awesome, keep them going Pepsi!!
1. Stumbled upon Pepsi Throwback at Fred Meyer today. I'm a PepsiFreak, so am embarrassed I didn't know about it. DELICIOUS! I've been drinking Diet forever, can hardly drink Regular anymore…but had Throwback and thought, "Man I am pathetic…this must be what crack is like for some people." I wanna horde this like people horded old coke.
2. Really good Squirt. Just regular old Squirt. Haven't had it in forever. Or Pepsi Light…I'm just waiting for it to come back.
3. Behaving like a total addict, I came online looking for info and here I am!
1. I haven't tried Pepsi or MD Throwback yet, though I expect them to taste better than their contemporary counterparts. Real sugar – finally!! It's exciting to see Pepsi getting on the "natural" bandwagon and I can't wait to try these!
2. Call me crazy, but I really liked Crystal Pepsi when it came out in the early 1990's. It had a distinct flavor that made it different than the same old regular and diet colas from that time.
3. I found this through Bevnet.com
1.Ihave tried this awsome pop. The taste of real suger is what it is all about.I am a little sadden though thinking this awsome dew is only going to be with us for such a short time. Mountain Dew is my wake up in the morning, my afternoon keep on going, and my evenings I have to stay away. The label of this drink sure brings back memories of days gone by.So lets all get together and keep this awsome stuff with us forever.
2. The long forgotten beverage I can remember as a child was called Apple Beer.It has been so long ago I don't remember what company even made it. But the best childhood memories came from cruising on are peddle bikes with Playing cards on are spokes and sratching off the apple part of the can. Yes we thought we were cool.
3. I heard about this give away by googling ( Throw Back Mountain Dew sight.
1. Haven't tried it, but LOVE mexican coke!
2. Long forgotten bev is obscure, but it's Orange Kinley which I had in Israel a little over 10 years ago. Kinley was ultimately bought by coke and eliminated in favor of Fanta.
2. Found the post just browsing.
I just tried both Pepsi and MD retro. I really like them both. Especially the Mountain Dew. I hope they extend the availability of both and expand to other products. I have a coffee shop, where we sell sodas and smoothies too. None of our drinks have high fructose corn syrup in them and we would really like to be able to offer canned or bottled pop, especially Mountain Dew, to our customers. If it doesn't stick around, I would at least like the option to get the syrups for each.
Kurt
1. I have yet to find Pepsi/Mtn Dew Throwback, but once I do I will get it.
2. Sprite Remix. Any of the flavors.
3. I was looking at Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash and saw this in the Recent Posts category.
I'd love that lava lamp lol
It was by browsing. Looking forward to the Mountain Dew.
- not only found, but CANNOT stop drinking pepsi throwback!! and i usually restrict myself to diet. perfect excuse to gain 275 lbs waiting for this to retire!
- i really really really want me some surge!
- was googling "pepsi natural packaging" (it's so sleek!) when i happened upon this blog, and just in the nick of time!
I bought Pepsi throwback tonight and decided to search to see when natural sugar was last used in Pepsi and found this website.
I like the taste of it and will continue to buy this while available.
I would like to try orange slice again
1. I haven't tried them yet! can't wait though!
2. I wish I could drink Melo Yelo right now!
3. I heard via searching on google!
