Pepsi has come out with a made from sugar Pepsi called Pepsi Throwback. It is pretty damn good, bought a 12 pack at frys for 4 bucks tonight.


PS. They have Mountain Dew Throwback also :bim:

I saw both Pepsi and Dew at Wal-Mart (Baseline/Az Ave).

I don't drink canned soda, so I just bought a couple of 20 oz bottles of the Dew at Circle K (Dobson/Guadalupe).

I bought the throwback Dew a couple of weeks ago. I can definitely taste a difference; it's less syrupy and tastes crisper, a little like 7up. I believe a 12oz. can has 2 grams less sugar as well (44 instead of 46 IIRC) Woo Hoo!.

ooh yeah, I appreciate the sodas from Mexico for that reason.

Which is why I buy my Coke at Costco. And glass bottles too. (Course there's that darn paper label on every bottle that totally ruins "the look".)

MESA! :thud:
I bought both. I don't really drink soda at all, and never drink cola, so I haven't tried it. DCR & my 16 year old said the Pepsi tasted like diet soda & didn't like it. She wasn't impressed with the Mountain Dew, either. :shrug:

I don't really drink soda either. When someone gave me one today, I could only drink two sips.

Not my thing. Mexican cokes are way better.

Sorry HB3.

Figures they'd do this when I'm on my diet. Whatever. I still vote for MexiCoke too.

I am not a good judge, I don't drink much pepsi. The guy that gave me one had a bunch so I think he liked it.
