Pepsi to Use Real Sugar in 'Pepsi Throwback' and 'Mountain Dew Throwback' in April
I joined so I could say that changing from Coke w/ sugar to New Coke was one of the stupidest moves of the last century. How I miss the real Classic Coke! (Serious Cokaholic). Pepsi only won the challenge because on the first sip, it's ultra sweet, after that--sickening. Coke was actually just as popular as Pepsi, only more expensive to produce due to using real sugar; they only changed to HFCS to rival Pepsi's higher profit margin. For shame, greedy Coke! One of the best tastes on earth, gone! Btw, HFCS is largely responsible for serious weight gain in this generation and is in almost all processed food. Check it out and avoid it.

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.

There is also a bottling plant in West Jefferson, NC that bottles Dr. Pepper AND Mountain Dew with sugar instead of HFCS. I drive there all the time on the way to visit my brother to pick up cases of both. It's $15.75 for a case of twenty-four 12oz bottles. I used to get Dr. Pepper shipped to me from the Dublin plant all the time, but since I discovered the NC plant I don't any more, of course. Here is the address:
2614 NC Highway 163, West Jefferson, NC 28694
Here are a couple of pics I took of the place:

Pepsi to Use Real Sugar in 'Pepsi Throwback' and 'Mountain Dew Throwback' in April
I'm a regular Mt Dew drinker (allergic to coffee and cola - need to get my caffeine somewhere!), but in Mexico I couldn't find any. After getting over the caffeine withdrawl, I started drinking Squirt. Yum. Tasted just like carbonated, slightly sweetened grapefruit. And wouldn't you know - it listed grapefruit extract as an ingredient, along with, of course, sugar. So this is my new favorite drink. I get home but a case, and yuck. No sparkly grapefruit flavor and that icky bitter aftertaste that I now realize is a constant is American sodas. I figure the HFCS is the culprit for the aftertaste, and the total lack of grapefruit anything whatsoever explains the rest of the problem. Fortunately, I have left my caffeine needs behind, so Poopsi completely lost a customer with that one.

Jews eat grains on Passover, but only unleavened, hence matza. The corn problem is something called kitniyot, and applies to rice and certain legumes as well.

My son (now 21) has had a corn allergy most of his life. I always used to tuck away a few extra bottles of "Kosher for Passover" real sugar coke for him to enjoy during the rest of the year. I didn't want him drinking "diet" drinks just to avoid corn syrup.
To this day he doesn't drink much soda. But when he wants a treat, it has to be corn-syrup free REGULAR coke squirreled away during Passover!

Haven't you seend the ads on Food Network?! HFCS is made from corn and, just like sugar, is fine in moderation... haha, too funny!!
cstein: coke tastes like battery acid.... let the pepsi vs coke wars begin. ;)
