Pepsi Throwup

[Ripper]

i had the dew today too... AMAZING!!!

it took me a second because it at first almost tasted diet, and then i noticed the aftertaste like eating sugar... wow is it good... and cheaper too!

and does anyone else notice how much thinner it is than the normal stuff?

If by "thinner" you mean not oily feeling (like reg. Dew), then yeah.

Finally finished the Pepsi Throwback. Not as big of a difference, it's better, but I still prefer a Coke to either Pepsi.

However, the Mountain Dew is night and day. I love the MDT, but could take or leave the Pepsi.

i went from the mdt to a sprite and it felt like i was drinking syrup... the throwback seems to have a WAY lower viscosity

I just checked out a bottle of Pepsi - we do have sugar. Maybe over here they could market "Pepsi Stepdown' - the Pepsi that you know and love but with fake sugar instead of the real thing!"

You can't afford it. Outside the US, sugar is cheaper than HFCS.

I still find the dew has that thick feeling.....probably because it has vegetable oil in it....just like Sunny D.

I've drank the Pepsi Throwback (Not found the Dew yet). I live in the sticks in Georgia.

It's supposed to be in cans too. Has anybody seen those in the stores?

God Bless, Ray

20-ounce bottles and 12 can packs.
I guess the can packs can be easy to overlook; same color packaging as the regular stuff, just a different logo.
Look for the words COLA on the Pepsi, and MOUNTAIN on the Dew. They're just calling the regular stuff "Pepsi" and "Mtn Dew" now.

Notice the twist in the plastic bottle that emulates the original glass bottle design?

You know, I just don't understand that. We grow tons and tons and tons of sugar in this country. Sugarcane is cheap to grow and cheap to process. Why do we pay more than others? That's not right. We grow it here, in abundance, so it ought to be cheap.

lilray- she found it in cans. it would be real nice if they had it in glass bottles.

But labor costs are not as cheap here as other countries.

I'm stuck between 2 cities! Some companies put my area in their "northeast ohio" market, and some put us in the "central ohio" market.
If Pepsi considered this "northeast" ohio, I could get my hands on some of the Cleveland-marketed Pepsi Natural.

Odd how some companies divide their market regions. If any of them bothered to do the least bit of research, they'd see that where I live is considered the geographic center of Ohio, thus making my area "central" Ohio.

As it is, we're split between regions. Depending on the company, we're either central, northern, northeastern, eastern, or southeastern. We get radio and print advertising from both major cities to the north and south of us (Cleveland and Columbus), and tv stations from Columbus (because Time Warner considers us "central" Ohio).
Kinda plays havoc with the Sunday sales flyers!

Sugar prices are supported by import tariffs, which make sugar more expensive in the US than on the world market. Corn, on the other hand, is heavily subsidized, and HFCS ends up being cheaper than sugar. It is so cheap that it goes into virtually everything.

my family doesn't normally drink soda- we've had the same 12 pack of jones cola in the garage for i don't know how long, but i'm looking forward to trying the throwbacks. i only hope tha gum manufacturers will take notice and start making chewing gum with real sugar again......


i used to live near clewiston fl- America's sweetest town- and its saddened me to see what subsidies to corn have done the real sugar companies.

Similar thing in Chicago, the large candy companies all moved south of the border.

Everybody around me is sold out.
