Coming Soon: Pepsi Throwback, Mountain Dew Throwback - NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!
[link to www.bevreview.com]

Thanks to the eagle-eyed forum members over at BevNET, we have news of sugar-sweetened versions of some PepsiCo products coming soon.

Per Beverage Industry magazine, the names will be Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback:

In the middle of April, PBV [Pepsi Bottling Ventures] also will begin distributing Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback, which features those brands formulated with sugar.

This is a big deal since mainstream soft drinks in the United States are sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Typically, the only way to get soda from the "big guys" with real sugar is to import it (i.e., Mexican Coke) or wait till Passover (Kosher Coke, Kosher Pepsi).

Pepsi has been experimenting elsewhere with sugar-sweetened drinks. We reported last February about two such entries… Pepsi Raw in the UK and Mexico's Pepsi Retro. It's nice to see some of this finally coming to the States.

A search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Electronic Search System shows the following logos tied to these brands…

You can also buy soda during the jewish holidays that are kosher. Look for a "k" with a circle around it, and i think the word "pareve". No corn syrup in their either, it has sugar.

It'll probably still have MSG or some other addictive chemical in it.

Jones cola uses only real sugar and is sold at mainstream grocery stores. I gave up all HFCS years ago and refuse any drink from coke or pepsi since.

Wonder what the price will be because sugar is so much more then corn syrup being the reason they use it in the first place!

Drinks from Mexico have the cane sugar. It is much better. But I developed problems after switching. Started having diabetic symptoms such as blurred vision and then noticed sugar in my urine. I just happen to have a urinal in the house. It was getting clogged up with disgusting white gunk. After I quit the sugar the gunk stopped. My urine is clean. I bought one of the meters from walmart. My glucose was 400. 100 is normal. Discontinued the sugar and got it back down to normal. No other sugars either, hfcs ect.
Sugar = suicide in slow motion.

political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

OOOooooooo!

Coke REFUSED to do that with their products.

Now that Pepsi is doing it... HAHAHA. Watch them crumble.

I don't drink soda anymore though.

Diet soda is idiotic because it has been proven that despite being 'zero calories', the brain hates being fooled by the intake of sugar [with no calories] and makes people feel RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY after drinking diet soda--- defeating the purpose of dieting.

Might as well drink REGULAR soda or none at all!

High Fructose Corn Syrup is difficult for the body to digest PLUS mercury has been found in hfcs because of how it is processed. Stay far away from it. It is poison.

I drink at least two cokes a day. The HFCS suck, but i still drink it. I tried MExican coke..and it tasted great, but I got sick as hell from it..probably due to the fact of the dirty ass mexican water used in it.

Jones soda is ok, had them a few times, but the flavours arent really up my alley

i read that in order to make HFCS small amounts of mercury are needed or something. some companies havent upgraded equiptent standards or something so everytime you drink anything that uses Caustic Soda (HFCS), you aer intaking small amounts of mercury.

Makes you worry huh?

This is great news!

Sugar and HFCS are broken down by different organs. HFCS is the Liver, this I know because I nearly destroyed mine. After a lifetime of Mountain Dew abuse, my liver was getting fatty and I had symptoms of Metabolic disorder.

Switched to Diet and dropped 25 lbs immediately! Diet, though, is just as bad in other ways.

In North Carolina they bottle in glass original formula Mountain Dew. It's with sugar, and I have to tell you that I ordered a few cases, had them shipped, and was suprised to find that Sugar-Dew tastes like Diet!

Same results with Kosher Coke!

HFCS is so sweet that it ruins sugar!

Anyway, I hope they get around to making Stevia versions of all their drinks.

I know, we should all just get rid of Soda, but it's cheap, it's clean, and it tastes good!

Ideally we could rotate our intake between Sugar, HFCS, Diet and Stevia versions and take two days of just water, I think that would best apply the "Everything in moderation" addage.
I'm not too fond of Signatures. Why would I want to end every post the same way?

Avoid white sugar made from beets also. Most of the beets used to make sugar are GMO.
