Pepsi Throwback

[metro]

Pepsi Throwback can still be found at Dollar General in my experience, as well as the Crest out at Hefner and Rockwell—even though production officially ceased on February 22nd.

I've found Dublin Dr Pepper at C Market, which is sort of catty-corner from Big Truck Tacos. Unsurprising, as they're both owned by the same people.

No, Market C is owned by Good Egg Group, which owns Cheevers, Iron Starr BBQ, Red Prime, and also manages POPS in Arcadia. Big Truck Taco's is owned by two ladies, NOT affiliated with the Good Egg Group.

Oh! You are absolutely correct, and thank you for making that certain—as well as specifying that GEG manages Pops.

I was in fact thinking of Pops (and their assortment which may or may not include Dublin Dr Pepper) when I wrote "Big Truck Tacos". There was a substitution error.

POPS has Dublin Dr. Pepper (they supply Market C), they also have Dr. Dublin.

This should be interesting on how long this fad lasts. News last night did a story on the differences between HFCS and Pure Sugar...and it was essentially nothing. HFCS is about 5% more fructose than Pure Sugar. Carbs and Calorie wise...they are also identical.

While the products may taste sweeter, I just hope people realize they are just as bad for you. Unfortunately cutting fructose out of a person's diet isn't the easiest thing.

That's interesting. But, while 5% isn't much, it's still enough to count for a bit.

The main thing is that, for me, the sweetness of Pepsi Throwback exists for its own sake, rather than with HFCS's tendency to color the flavor of an existing product, as well as sweetening it.

I wonder how the body breaks down the natural sugar compared to the HFCS.

they are called throwbacks, cause drinking these sodas will throwback the level of your overall health several degrees making you more prone to diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.

i havent touched mountain dew in over 10 years since it gave me a crystalized kidney stone. ever notice that theres virtually no carbonation when you open mtn dew? all that sugar is the reason why.

drink water, its better for you and most of the time its free.

You'll be glad to hear, then, that production ceased (if it was as scheduled) on February 22nd, and that stores currently selling it—Crest, Dollar General, and so forth—are purveying old stock that will expire in November if I'm right.

Oh Puhlease.

There's not a damn thing wrong with the occasional soda. Nobody's suggesting that you buy a 6-pack and guzzle it all in one sitting during a movie.

According to my informal research, the threshold against any health throwbacks (a hearty guffaw and snort to that corker, by the way) would seem to be two 12 oz. sodas a day, especially concerning dark ones. This isn't medical advice, of course, nor should it be construed as such.
