Pepsi Throwback

[ravenwoodglass]

Pepsi recently came out with the throwback with sugar instead of HFCS. I thought it was great and it tasted so good after not having it for so long. They discontinued it a while ago. In the last couple of weeks I have found it again in a couple of stores. It is in a white bottle like they use for the diet Pepsi. I just got my second bottle of it and I could swear it is diet pepsi. It has the same aftertaste as diet pop and just doesn't taste like the sugared pepsi. I am starting to wonder if they are trying to use up the bottles or if someone in the plant is messing up. Am I nuts or have other people noticed it also?

I love the stuff--we just bought a 12 pack of it at Shop Rite last weekend. It tasted good--not like diet soda at all. My husband would have caught it in a second if it was.

Also, my husband was talking to someone at Pepsi (the company he works for does business with them) and this person told him that the Throwback was at first a limited time thing, but they have reconsidered that and are going to make it part of their regular line. Hope that's true.

Raven--I would take it back....maybe it got mixed up somehow at the plant?

Maybe it went bad? I have only seen the Throwback around here in cans. We have Mexican Coke or Pepsi in bottles. It's made with sugar.

As a Pepsi lover that has done without for 6 months, I'm thinking of hunting down a few bottles, because I am corn free..Just for a treat : )

I was able to pick up a 12 pack this past week. I put off trying it for awhile ( chicken, I know . My children both tried it and didn't like it because they thought it was too sweet. I finally tried it and agree it's sweet, but after not drinking a soft drink for 7 months it was a good treat!! I didn't react to it either. We have the Mountain Dew throw back as well. I wouldn't drink these everyday, but it's nice to have on hand!
