Throwback Pepsi = AWESOME...!!!

[Car Guy]

Just before flying out of Mitchell Airport yesterday I spotted a bottle of throwback Pepsi sitting in a vending machine. I wanted to try it ever since hitting the market and didn't care about the $3.00 price. The soda itself is GREAT and I also love the old school logo, too cool. It brings back fond memories of my childhood when I would get buzzed at my Grandparent's house off their unlimited supply......:devil

Cuban Sugar>Nebraska Corn.

I drink quite a bit of Pepsi but must say Coca~Cola>Pepsi.

Pepsi FTW IMO. I love the throwback, I wish they had it more places.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

i have been drinking the throwback dew and pepsi like it is going out of style.....well, because i guess it already did, LOL!

[Exitspeed]

Yeah I love the shit. I wish they would bring it out permanently. And I wish they would do Throwback Cherry Coke.

I agree throw back cherry coke would kick ass or even throw back coke

[Car Guy]

I also tried a bottle of throwback Dew and can't believe how much of a difference there is compared to modern day Dew....

You can get the mexican cokes (real sugar) at most newer pic n' saves. I'm pretty sure the whole foods store carries it as well. (look in the ethnic food sections I believe...)

It's a little "flatter" w/o as much carbonation, but the taste is still superior to regular corn syrup coke imo.

Imo, coke (and especially the mexican/real sugar version) has the more satisfying flavor...sharper, crisper...without the sweet aftertaste [/billcosby].

Coke > Pepsi
Mellow Yellow > Mt. Dew
Mr. Pibb > Dr. Pepper

Of course, all the soda's I highlighted were popular in the south when I was growing up...so my preferences aren't surprising.

Mountain Dew Throwback is where it's at. I stocked up on a bunch of it.

Someone told me once that everyone in the south refers to any brand of soda as "coke". Like how we say soda, but in other states its pop. So if I don't want coke, how do I order a Mellow Yellow in the south?

So if I don't want coke, how do I order a Mellow Yellow in the south?Well, if you wanted mellow yellow, you ordered mellow yellow. But if you wanted cola like R.C, Pepsi, Coke, etc....you just ordered "coke;" you never were asked "Is pepsi okay?" or told "well we carry R.C." You just got whatever cola they had.

It really wasn't soda = coke, but cola = coke. At the same time, probably 98% of the soda's ordered were colas though, so everything was seemingly "coke."

I wish they would just do that up here. I think it's annoying to be asked.

Whenever I order a cola I always say, "Can I have a Coke or Pepsi please?".

I ain't nevah heard anyone order up a Mr. Pibb and a Moonpie.:rolf

Thank you for clearing that up with me, the guy that explained it to me like "coke" was the universal word for "soda" in the south.

Target has 12pks of the throwbacks fro $3, not that I got a 12er of dew last night or anything:goof

[Car Guy]

If anybody knows where throwback Pepsi can still be found please post up, I am having serious withdrawals.....:coffee

[animal]

In the vending machine at work for me :D Just had one about 5 min ago.

Haven't seen it anywhere otherwise.

[jbiscuit]

I think its pretty much gone now

[xxtremeteam]

most gas station in port washington still have pepsi and dew throw back

[Cleveland Dave]

sams club had it a couple of weeks ago i picked up 4 18 packs of mt.dew and pepsi

[Car Guy]

i picked up 4 18 packs of mt.dew and pepsi

I did not know the throwback sodas came in 18-packs, all I saw were 20oz. bottles and 12-packs......

[Doc Brown]

i picked up a 12 pack in Janesville the other day.

my guess is that the outlying areas will be your best bet to score some before it's gone for good.

[Rocket Power]

The OC Woodmans had some a few days ago, they had a sign saying get it before its gone

[PureSound15]

They had huge 36 packs of it at Sams Club when I was there a few weeks ago. Both Pepsi and Mountain Dew :)

[BOSS LX]

Throwback Pepsi is good, throwback Mountain Dew tastes like mouse piss!

[badass88gt]

[Car Guy]

I currently live a mile away and will be there tonight, did not realize Woodman's is open 24/7.....:headbang



throwback Mountain Dew tastes like mouse piss!

YES it does, borderline disgusting.....

[Car Guy]

I visited Woodman's tonight and only one tray of 24 (dusty) 20oz. bottles remained, now 20 bottles.....:D

"Mountain Wiz, it comes from goats!"

Eleventy billion points if you know where that came from!

If you guys like coke and pepsi made with real sugar, you can get them both now for a short time at most grocery stores. Both coke and pepsi make a kosher version made with real sugar because of Lent. My local Sentry has it located in the Kosher food section. The coke has a yellow cap with a triangle on it and lists Sucrose(sugar) instead of HFCS, the pepsi has a white cap with a triangle on it and lists sugar instead of HFCS. Just thought you would all like to know.

I like the dew and pepsi throw backs they still have it at the gas station by my house

Being Kosher has nothing to do with Lent. It's in the stores because of Passover. Lent is a Christian season before Easter. Passover is a Jewish Holy day commemorating the time when the Angel of Death "passed over" Jewish homes in Egypt that had lamb's blood sprinkled on the door sash and lintel. It's in Exodus 12 of the Old testament

[RanJer]

To be honest, I didn't really like either of the throwbacks.. I'll stick to my roundys 4 for $10 :goof

There was also throwback Dr. Pepper which I thought was just as good as throwback Pepsi.....

Yes! Thank you... I get all these holidays mixed up.
