Primera Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I was just about to post a thread about this. I just got 2 12 packs; one of Mt. Dew and one of Pepsi. Mmm the mountain dew. I just got home from Walmart w/ a 12 pk of Mt Dew. Drinking one now. Fucking delicious! Anytime I drink a Mt Dew in a 20oz, all I taste is corn syrup. And if I ever get to the bottom of the bottle.. :barf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Word on the street is; if the throwback stuff is a hit, they'll add it to their regular lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 i love the stuff i hope they do add it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I did not read this whole thread.... BUT: Throwback has SUGAR as opposed to Corn Syrup. Also, expect to see Pepsi Throwback in the near future. KillJoy PS - Some Mexican Groceries carry pop that still have SUGAR in them already out...like i posted earlier, had some at my g/fs parents saturday. didnt taste any different to me.

ImUrOBGYN Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I was actually telling my g/f about this the other day (real sugar coke). It's because of passover if no one got my 'joke' earlier. You can also get Kosher Coke and it's got the real sugar in it. So we were in Giant Eagle and saw a stack of Diet Coke near the end cap that said it was kosher. How you could do it kosher with real sugar and make it diet, I have no idea. So I looked at the ingredients and they looked like what I thought normal diet coke would. Anyways it definitely didn't have real sugar. Weird. Differnt kinds of sugar alternatives. For example, maybe it had sucralose in it. Here's some info on that: Sucralose (Splenda) is a non-caloric sweetener made from sugar. It was discovered in 1976. A sugar molecule is modified to replace a hydroxyl (water) group with a chloride (chlorine) group. This creates a product on average 600 times sweeter than table sugar, which theoretically will pass through the body without being metabolized. Over 100 studies have been conducted using sucralose in order to approve it as a food additive. So, technically, sucralose is a sugar. They all taste like complete shit to me. I've tried so many different kinds in my quest to replace goddamn soda. Here's one that interest me: Stevia is a plant that originated in the rainforests of Paraguay. It is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, does not impact blood sugar and has zero calories. The leaves have been used for over 1,500 years by the Guarini Indians of Paraguay. It was discovered and introducd to Europe by M. S. Bertoni in 1899. While Stevia has since become a very popular sweetener because it is "natural," the FDA has yet to approve it as a food source - it remains classified as a dietary supplement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Copied this from a website. Coca-Cola used to be made with sugar, but is now made with fructose corn syrup—except for Kosher Coke, that is. Kosher for Passover Coke is usually only in stores around Passover time. During Passover, the Jewish custom is not to eat food that contains leavening or leavening agents. Corn is on the list of prohibited foods. Passover Coke has to adhere to specially produced observing Kosher food preparation rules. A rabbi oversees the whole process. Many non-Jewish fans stock up on the Kosher Coke because they like the “original taste” of the sugared drink more than the taste when it’s made with corn syrup. Coca-Cola, however, says that there’s little or no difference in the taste. They sit in the middle of the expansive kosher section inside an area Kroger supermarket. Two-liter bottles of kosher for Passover Coke — and they're quickly disappearing from the shelves. "They're quite popular not just with Jews, but non-Jews as well," said Rabbi Alan Schwartz. (usatoday) I used to work for coca-cola (syrup plant). There's actually quite a bit of coke out there with sugar instead of HFCS. A few specific franchises get only sugar due to a lawsuit a bunch of years ago. I'm not sure what franchises get sugar sweetened coke but there are a few. HFCS is the bulk though, we went through 12 rail cars a day of the stuff. Diet coke is sweetened with aspartame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 You can buy Mexi-Coke in the glass bottle in the authentic mexi-section of Kroger. You COULD. I got there first. *BURP* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 ok I can only find this stuff in 20oz bottles. where did you find 12packs at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1647545489 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I actually don't like the throwback as much. It was too sweet for me and it tastes more like sprite. I think it's because they also took out the orange juice flavoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I still haven't been able to find any around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supldys Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Its good but nowhere near as good as regular mt dew. I might drink from time to time Check speedway, but they're usually not by the regular mt dews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Meijer Gas Station on Broad has the Pepsi Throwback so I'm sure the Mountain Dew is there too. I'm not a big soda drinker but there is a noticeable difference for the better I would say. Still won't drink the shit more than once a week though if that.

Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 i bought a 12 pack of pepsi throwback, but IMO it's a slight downgrade from regular corny syrup pepsi. it's not disgusting or anything, but just doesn't quite taste as good. and where the hell can i find dew throwback in anything other than 12 pack form???

nyall86 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Idk what the big deal is. BigBird, Stimmel and I got some while we were working on my car and it wasn't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thorton's, Speedway, and BP all have 20oz bottles. The problem is that the stockers are mixing in with the regular stuff, and the labels aren't really all that different. Anybody found the glass bottles yet?
