NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Agentbolt]

How could this happen? I went to get some today and the grocery store dude said there's no more coming in, it's already all gone.

It barely came out a month ago!!! DAMN YOU LIMITED TIME ONLY PRODUCTS!!

Shell station down the street had 20oz bottles of pepsi throwback.

I want the blue Mountain Dew back. Also...


...bring back SURGE.

 

[MovingTarget]

Yeah, FAIL on Pepsi's part. Normally I hate pepsi, but I would jump at the chance for a non-HFCS cola. It was decent. Seeing as Pepsi will probably not bring this back but every few years, there is only one option for non-HFCS cola for the rest of us: NEBRASKA MUST BURN!!!!

fortunately, our costco regularly carries coke with real sugar instead of HFCS... tastes great.

No, it's priced the same as HFCS pepsi.

 

[Reckoner]

That explains why target was all out of the mt dew and pepsi throwback today. WTF I thought we had until June?

 

[chuckywang]

Go to Target ... they had plenty last time I checked.

I've tried Pepsi & Mtn Dew Throwback. To me, they taste the same as the HFCS versions, but without the syrupy feel. I like it much better than the original versions.

Duh! That's how sodas tasted/were made before they started making them with the pancake syrup.

Sugar = old school
HFCS = new school/garbage

Chortle... snort!!!

I'll keep drinking all my real sugar coke and pepsi up here in the frosty white north!

It is really sad that Americans have to outsource sodas in order to get the good tasting ones.

I think the Canadian coke uses HFCS. They just call it a different name in Canada (Glucose-Fructose).

 

[CrankyMcStank]

For those like me with a desire for sodas containing pure cane sugar in lieu of HFCS.

Yeah, I went to target to pick up a 12 pack of voltage and they didn't have any

I had to get normal Mt. Dew and honestly it tastes like shit.

No, it's priced the same as HFCS pepsi.

It was actually cheaper here - $0.99 vs $1.59 for 20oz.

actually, it is priced less than the normal HFCS stuff and also less than the typical price during passover of the sugar one. Here, the 20oz bottles go for 1$ each whereas the normal HFCS one goes for $1.70

I don't think Voltage ever went real sugar, it was just Pepsi and regular ol' Mountain Dew.

I didn't even know Jones made cola, I'd happily get it if I could. All we get here is green apple and the infernal FuFu Berry flavor. Even the name of it is infuriating.

The only HCFS-free option we have around here is Boylans, which is great stuff, except I haven't seen THAT for a few months either, and when they do have it you can only buy it in 4 packs of 20 oz bottles, which costs 7.99 a pack. No thanks.

Negative. Pepsi Throwback is apparently an older formula. The current formula of Pepsi, with regular sugar instead of HFCS, would not taste the way it does. That, and the bottle lists a different ingredient list than the current formula.

And with that said, the Throwback tastes a hell of a lot better than the current Pepsi formula. I won't drink Pepsi unless it's the only thing available. I'd still drink the current HFCS Coke over the Pepsi Throwback, but the Throwback tastes a lot closer to Coke than today's Pepsi. Between the two, I could drink either and not complain. Can taste a difference, but it's an acceptable difference, both are tolerated equally. Current Pepsi, I cannot even tolerate if given a choice.

I do miss Surge. Original Surge. After Surge was dropped from the lineup, they brought it back, but with less caffeine, not sure if the formula was any different in any other way.

But currently, Vault is a LOT like Surge, though a little more carbonation and with more of a bite. Vault is a worthy successor imho, and I'll gladly take that over no Surge-type drink from Coca Cola. And Vault does have more caffeine than Mtn Dew. Unlike with Coke/Pepsi, I'll take either Mtn Dew or Vault, based on what is available. Have no real preference... both taste great, extremely different, but great nonetheless. I like how Mtn Dew has very little carbonation in comparison to most other pop, but I like the overall flavor anyhow, and yet I also love the flavor and bite of Vault (acidic bite).

Local grocery store has plenty of pepsi throwback for me to purchase

But I don't need to drink anymore soda the next few days.
