"MMmmmmm... That's good bass!"
Rockstar?
I don’t have a clue what you mean by “throwback” within this context. Both drinks are currently offered and have been for some time.
We have and really like the Mountain Dew. Just picked up a 7up Retro 12 pack. We can really tell a difference as well.
Throw ‘em back....
Cane sugar?
I tried a cane sugar Pepsi several months ago, and yes, the difference was very noticeable.
yes. Much better. I guess thats the diff between corn syrup (now) and sugar (then.)
Tried Pepsi and Mt. Dew. The tase is surprising, real sugar makes a BIG difference. It reminds me of the way it USED to taste, which is terrific, but a ton of calories.
I only drink diet sodas BUT my son and husband swear that the throwback soft drinks are remarkably better tasting. How they describe the taste is “cleaner” and doesn’t have an after taste. I usually look for the throwback Mountain Dew or the throwback Dr. Pepper sodas.

I had a throwback Pepsi, tasted just like Pepsis did back when I decided they were gross and I didn’t like them.
Mountain Dew Throwback and Sierra Mist Natural are excellent.
To me, the can sugar variety tastes much better. They’re not quite as sweet and they seem fizzier.
The Edsel of soft drinks.
I’d like to taste them. Thanks for the post.
Yes, I have tried the throwback Mountain Dew, and it brings back so many childhood memories. The taste is exactly the way I remember it was.
I was raised on Mountain Dew since I was 5 or 6 years old. My maternal grandfather owned an operated an Esso gas station in our hometown and during the summers when I would stay with them I would go with him to the station and “help” him run it (this was around 1967/68 or so when I was 5 or 6).
He had one of those old soda pop machines, the ones with the vertical door on the left front side of the machine where you had to open the door and pull the bottle out after to you put your money in. The drinks were always ice cold.
As I remember, the old Mountain Dew bottles were green with white lettering and had a depiction of hillbilly moonshiner on the front aiming his flintlock and another one of him on the back holding a jug. The cork was flying out of the jug and through the bill of his hat.
Ah, the good old days.
I’m glad more people are recognizing the difference. I remember back when the companies were transitioning from real sugar to high-fructose, and finding the results less satisfying. At the time, I thought it was just the difference between sodas in glass bottles versus cans (which were starting to replace them). I believed it was that which accounted for the change in taste.
In recent years, though, I’ve finally realized it had to do with the sugar. Particularly amazing to drink the “7-Up” with sugar, which brought back memories of why I used to like it as a kid. When it went fructose was around the time I lost all interest in it, and rarely drank it.
I don’t drink Pepsi - ever. They’re blind support of this President and his policies, plus the company support of the homosexual agenda is enough that I don’t want to contribute to their coffers.
However, Dr. Pepper from Dublin is fantastic! At least, it was until corporate started suing them. :-(
On the rare occasion I drink a coke, it’s a zero calorie, or a sugar Dr. Pepper. Otherwise, it’s water, lemonade, whole milk, tea, or beer (and I’m trying to cut down on the beer).
