About time. Used to love Dr. Pepper until it went with the fructose like all the other big colas. None of them taste nearly as good with fructose as they do with sugar. Which is why my wife buys me several bottles of Coke with sugar.
It hasn't much to do with the ideal HFCS, but rather, the escape of contaminants and intermediaries used in order to convert corn matter into fructose and glucose. Carbonyl compounds were one of them.
Has been my soda of choice for forty years.....................
Saw a special once where they said that Dr. Pepper is the only soft drink that can be enjoyed HOT. It’s actually quite refreshing that way in the winter!
High Fructose Corn Syrup is manufactured with the use of yeast — a type of mold.
Yes, both sugar and HFCS are combinations of fructose and glucose, but HFCS is called “High” for a reason, because the percentage of fructose is higher. The body doesn’t process fructose the same as it does glucose.
I buy Mexican coca-colas occasionally. The local grocery stores here carry them, but only in the Mexican food sections, so you have to know where to look! Mexican cokes are made with sugar. Maybe the sweetness is the same, but the Mexican cokes have a cleaner, more refreshing feel to them.
Oh boy.
Why does Dr. Pepper come in a bottle?
If you ever find yourself in the Waco area and are looking for something to do the Dr. Pepper museum is kinda cool.
The reason to go however is to get one of the sundaes they make with the Dr Pepper syrup!
I normally drink Hansen's but I bought a couple twelve packs of this Pepsi to show my appreciation. I'll do the same with the "throwback" Dr. Pepper.
And when they return to HFCS, I'll return to Hansen's.
Texans have been able to get Dr.Pepper in 8-ounce bottles with cane sugar in select markets.
I LOVE Pepsi “Throwback”.
It tastes like Pepsi used to taste like when I was a kid. The difference to me is like night and day.
If Pepsi drops Throwback, I’m gonna go through severe withdrawals.
Hooray! Crap made with slightly better ingredients! Drink up, America!
I’d buy it again!
Ahhh, excellent!
Dr. Pepper with real sugar and in a glass bottle is the best! If you’re ever out in Dublin, Texas buy some in old glass bottles. The plant there never stopped using sugar.
And for some reason the Dr. Pepper in Harriman, Tennessee in the glass bottles tastes better. I’ve been told the taste can vary according to the local water supply.
