Pepsi Cola has started distributing their "Throwback" versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. What is Throwback? It's the real old Pepsi, before the days of high fructose corn syrup. Yes, it may be hard to believe now, but, once-upon-a-time, both, Pepsi and Mountain Dew were made with plain old sugar. No sugar substitute.

The plain old sugar was a mix of sugar cane and sugar beets. The cola flavor was more accented with sugar and lasted past the end of the beverage.

Mountain Dew, which has a bit of orange juice in it is today known for its acidy taste more than that of the juice. But, again, with plain old sugar, Mountain Dew has an entirely different flavor, and some may not like it, but, the old flavor is back, and citrus flavor it is!

Throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew will only be around for about eight weeks. Distribution is aimed from the middle of April through the middle of June.

Look for it at your store, or, possibly, in a vending machine?

And, after you have a chance to try it, why not go to:

and write your personal review of the product, and let Pepsi and others know how you liked the product(s).

I haven't drank a soda pop in twenty years, but, I might just try one. I remember Pepsi and Coke made with sugar, and, to me, they were a lot more refreshing, and flavorful.
