Our local Publix tells me that Pepsi Throwback will soon be off the shelves, being only a summer item. Is that true?

Something I forgot to say (>.

The change from saying "Sugar" on the label to "Sucrose" is probably due to a recent change in regulations that states that the manufacturers have to use the scientific name for the ingredient. Drinks with added vitamins have ingredient lists that look horrifying until you look them up and discover that it's just the vitamins. :)

here's a list of common vitamins if anyone's interested

Sucrose or table sugar is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets.

Sucrose IS real sugar :) heh.

I know a lot of people that travel to mexico regularly, some of whom lived there for many years. Everyone always says mexican coke is better, now i know why.

So that awful nasty taste in coke and pepsi is the sweetener? =/ Eweh.. The only soda i really like is Root Beer...
Looks like I missed my chance to try this throwback stuff but I'm not sure I really care that I don't like soda :) Better for my bones and fat cells. Hehe.

Are they REALLY stopping the Throwback sodas on June 13? Are they crazy? BTW be VERY wary of Passover Coke. For the past two years they have NOT used sugar - they have used SUCROSE. They simply will do whatever they can to avoide spending any extra money on sugar. They stink.

I found the Pepsi singles in the convenience store in our building at 1600 Smith, Houston, Texas.

Has anyone beenable to purchase the throwback. I have tried my local Shoprite and Stop and Shop to no avail. Help I want to try it before the deadline.

I was so excited when my husband told me he saw Pepsi throwback in our local supermarket. I just bought a bottle at Walgreen's. It is awesome! Since me and my husband don't eat anything with HFCS i was really missing soda, and this gave me a chance to have some! I really hope i can find more....as i hope to get a few extra to keep for when i have a soda craving! Thanks to Pepsi and Coke for making these....not only for our Jewish friends, but for people like me who refrain from eating HFCS!
