Being on the younger side of the age spectrum, I wasn’t around back when soda bottlers used actual sugar in their drinks. Instead, I grew up with corn syrup in my Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew, which is fine if that’s all you know. Dew in particular is awesome as far as I’m concerned, but people have been telling me for years that the old recipe for that – as well as for Dr Pepper – wins.
They were so, totally, completely right. I snagged a twelve-pack of Mountain Dew 
Throwback today. Holy. Cow. This is good stuff! The aftertaste is more sweet than syrupy…the Dew has a “lighter,” crisper taste going down…and even the can’s retro logo design is more appealing than the “edgy” crap they recently adopted for the normal stuff.
Oh, yeah, this was worth three and a half bucks – no doubt about that at all.
I haven’t, however, bothered with Pepsi Throwback, because I hate that soda anyway, corn syrup or not. Mom tells me, though, that the old-school Pepsi was fantastic. I’ll just take her word for that.
On a side note: if you grab Dr Pepper from Dublin, Texas, at any time of the year (no special, one-off promotions, unlike Pepsi-Cola), you can always get your hands on “old-school” DP. As in: Imperial Pure Cane Sugar. Can’t get to Dublin? Buy it online!
