Something we actually agree on.

I was in a Sheetz & a Getgo today & couldn’t find any ‘throwback’ products. Is it packaged differently?

I do not think that’s the problem. the problem is with sugar and govt limiting it that’s why they went to fructose

I know it costs more but the govt controls sugar

It goes something like the sweeteners used in soda no is corn based not suger.  
the govt is putting limitation on the amount of sugar we can import to use corn from the us. also the tax on sugar is sky high

I am sure someone more educated or versed in this can chime in and give there .02

Sugar tariffs/corn subsidies

it has nothing to do with shelf life. HFCS is cheaper, which is why its in EVERYTHING.

It was right where you said it would be. i was looking in the big coolers in the back.

Tried the Pepsi today. The 1st swig from the bottle, and I was like…‘That’s what I remember Pepsi tasting like’. After a few more mouthfuls, it really isn’t much different. Kind of an odd aftertaste (after a while). I’ll try the Mt Dew tomorrow.

i found it too at sheetz. the mountain dew seems flat as soon as you open it, and both leave an after taste. they do taste better than the regular recipies though.

that’s the whole thing about it… the throwback IS the original recipe, back when sugar wasn’t the devil.

The wife found a case of the Mt Dew. It’s pretty good. I’ve been a Mt Dew fan for a long ass time, and I _never_ considered it a citrus soda. The throwback tastes a little like a concentrated Sprite.
