i must start this post by saying i do not drink pop. maybe once a month. maybe. if i really need a mcdonald's fountain coke or i go to frisch's and get a vanilla coke.but i had to try throwback pepsi, made with natural sugar instead of the dreaded high fructose corn syrup. my first taste made me think of diet pepsi, only without the super-nasty aftertaste. that diety-taste disappeared, though, with the second taste. i pronounce the throwback pepsi positively delightful. and it tastes pretty good from a can.
since i am more a coke girl than a pepsi girl, i really hope they make throwback coke. i have been told the reason why coke in a glass bottle tastes so much better is because it has cane sugar and not corn syrup. however, i inspected this the other day and found the bottled coke does have high fructose corn syrup. so it's amazing taste remains a mystery.

If you buy the coke in a glass bottle imported from Mexico, it indeed is made with sugar instead of HFCS.
I've been interested in trying it-- maybe I'll pick up a throwback Pepsi at the grocery tonight!
Where did you find that Pepsi? I had read that Pepsi were going to be releasing this product, but I haven't seen it anywhere.
The Mexican Coke is great, it's the only pop that I'll drink anymore. Many Krogers are even carrying it now, although they charge $1.79 per bottle! The Party Source sells them for $1.49, and I found them at Jungle Jim's today for 99 cents, so I bought a whole case of them!!
Girl, get yerself to Jungle Jims for throwback Pepsi AND bottles of Mexican Coke (or Mexi-Cola as we call it).
Steve's been buying Mexi-Cola from JJ's for over a year because it tastes the same as UK Coke (which is also made with sugar instead of HFCS). When we found Throwback Pepsi at JJ's last week we grabbed a couple of cases.
I don't drink sodas of any kind, but even I had to give them a try...and wow, they brought back floods of memories. To me, they taste just like 1978. :)
Oh yeah, if you like Mexi-Cola but don't like the higher cost, keep in mind that Coke offers 2-litres of it around Passover, because sugar is kosher but not HFCS. Look for the yellow caps. Steve got 10 bottles of it this year.
we got our throwback pepsi at target. and it should be on sale next week.
i've bought the mexi-coke once - i think i was at one of the swank kroger's. it was fantastic. i will have to go out to jj's for the good pricing.
veggie - thanks for the tip about kosher coke. that is good to know!
