Picked up 4 bottles of that this weekend for the first time and some Quisp... good stuff. Not together mind you, but I haven't tried it so, don't know.

Atocep · 09-06-2009, 11:15 PM

I was hoping this was bumped because they decided to start making them again.

sterlingice · 09-06-2009, 11:16 PM

Me, too

SI

Izulde · 09-07-2009, 12:15 AM

Me three.

Regular Mt. Dew just isn't the same anymore after sweet, sweet Throwback.

Sorry for the heart flutter. I just remember this was the thread that someone brought up Mexican Coca Cola.

ThrowBack is back. In new cans as well.

Passacaglia · 12-29-2009, 03:20 PM

This thread makes me want some Faygo Peach.

Thank god.

If another person bumped this thread without news of throwback coming back it was going to get ugly.

I saw they brought out Heritage Dr Pepper as well.

stevew · 12-29-2009, 07:41 PM

Will have to find that.

I think they are leaving a lot of money on the table by not bringing more sugar based sodas out. I'd go at least 50 cents more per 2 liter for the good stuff.

Izulde · 12-29-2009, 08:00 PM

Hallejulah!

Wolfpack · 12-29-2009, 09:40 PM

Splendid.

(Oh, well. No chance of reducing/giving up sodas in the New Year....)

DanGarion · 12-29-2009, 09:54 PM

Here is what they will look like.

8 week run, Dec. 28th till Feb. 22nd.

Wow, I really like the Mountain dew design, thats pretty awesome!

Passacaglia · 12-29-2009, 10:50 PM

Wait, they actually *say* throwback on them? That is so so stupid.

Karlifornia · 12-29-2009, 11:19 PM

Heritage Dr. Pepper, you say? Go on. I'm listening.

They did last time. I wish they would break out the Pepsi Spice again. And maybe the grape Mt Dew.

I found a 20oz bottle at a place down the road. It wasn't too bad, but I like the Mt Dew Throwback better.

Fidatelo · 12-30-2009, 09:26 AM

Doesn't bragging about the use of real sugar make their existing product line look bad? Why would you encourage people to realize that they aren't getting real sugar in their normal Pepsi? This would be like McDonalds creating a 'throwback milkshakes - made with real milk!'. And then everyone is like "what the hell is in the stuff I'm drinking the rest of the time??".

Not at all since "sugar is bad" has been drummed into virtually every brain in the country. Never mind the relatives pros & cons of what they use normally vs what they use in the throwbacks, you aren't going to overcome that amount of brainwashing without an equally fervent campaign in the opposite direction. That makes the risk to Pepsi virtually nothing.

Give it a few years, though, for the "High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad" lobby to really get into full force.

sterlingice · 12-30-2009, 12:08 PM

So, uh, anything useful like a store locator link? I saw it all of once in the previous iteration and it was when I was out of town and didn't really want to pay $5 for a 12-pack I wasn't even going to drink a third of.

SI

I would figure it would be at Target like it was previously.

stevew · 12-30-2010, 06:37 AM

I guess it is that time again?

Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback should be readily available now because Pepsi announced back in October that they are now regular products and no longer limited time offerings, per a report on The Consumerist.

ColtCrazy · 12-30-2010, 06:52 AM

Excellent! Love the Pepsi Throwback.

Atocep · 12-30-2010, 07:24 AM

Pepsi Throwback disappeared here around October. Mountain Dew Throwback has been available here for probably close to a year though.

M GO BLUE!!! · 03-30-2011, 10:16 PM

$3/case at Target.

DanGarion · 03-30-2011, 10:28 PM

Any an FYI, Pepsi Throwback is officially permanent.

Young Drachma · 03-30-2011, 10:41 PM

Because it's awesome.

stevew · 03-30-2011, 10:50 PM

I saw some two liters when I was in Tennessee. Hoping they make it up here at some point

Indeed. And it makes sense, with all these other "sugar" sodas on the market now. I don't know if they're new, or if the big chain stores are just starting to carry them, but my local supermarkets all have 10 or so brands of upscaleish soda, which I don't remember seeing there even 5 years ago.

Pepsi, or Dew? I found the throwback Dew too sweet, but I do love me some Pepsi Throwback.

Same thing happened to me, I like it alot now..

fantom1979 · 04-01-2011, 08:24 AM

I love me some Pepsi Throwback. Usually the local Meijer* has some in stock

*For those that don't have it, Meijer is kind of like Super Walmart or Super Target.

rjolley · 04-01-2011, 10:55 AM

I like Throwback Pepsi, but Throwback MD tastes more like I remember the pop tasting back when I was in high school. So, when I buy throwback, it's MD. I don't like current MD.
