Good News! As of March 2011, both Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback are permanent additions to the Pepsi lineup!
Read our updated Pepsi Throwback review and updated Mountain Dew Throwback review, both featuring revised designs.
Today we heard some great news for those of you (like us) who enjoyed Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback.
Pepsi confirmed via Facebook and Twitter that the Throwbacks will be returning for a limited 8-week run in December. Specifically, that would place the date range at December 28-February 22.
We’re still pulling together additional confirmation and details, but here is what we know so far:
Thanks for all the Throwback tweets, videos, pics & pleas. We’ve heard you & you convinced us. And… We’ve got great news! Throwback is coming back!! On Dec 28th for 8 weeks. Same formula, but cooler vintage look!
From Mountain Dew’s Facebook Page:
We’ve got some awesome news for you guys today! Mountain Dew THROWBACK is officially coming back thanks to all your feedback! It will hit stores on December 28 for eight weeks with sweet new packaging. Get ready!
From Pepsi’s Twitter account:
So… We’ve got great news! Throwback is coming back!! On Dec 28th for 8 weeks. With the same formula, but new awesome vintage look!
From Mountain Dew’s Twitter account:

One wonders if the “cooler vintage look”, “sweet new packaging”, and “awesome vintage look” will resemble the fan-favorite prototype bottle designs that were leaked back in February, but later discarded for the Throwback designs that were eventually brought to market.
