Good news for HFCS haters: Pepsi & Mt. Dew about to release a limited run with sugar!

Fanta is a Nazi drink.

When the US joined the war the German Cocoa Cola company was soon unable to get coke syrup so developed Fanta instead. Drinking Fanta is like suckling Hitler's tit!

[Seshmeister]

I knew I had seen Black glass somehwhere !
I think some vodkas I have seen also have
used black glass...

You may be thinking of Blavod which was black vodka.

Must be why its doing so well in South America. The Nazis, and their descendants, are STILL drinking it!

Not really sure this is the most appropriate thread to put this in but here's a video that really opened my eyes.

Found the last 2 12's of Pepsi today. It's all gone.

That sucks!

[FORD]

Actually it's both good news and bad news.

Bad news is you can't find it. Good news is that means the supply sold out, and Pepsi knows they can sell the stuff, which will encourage them to make more.

And since Coke sees Pepsi has a hit on their hands, how can they NOT make the switch themselves?

Supply seems to have run out here as well. Saw 4 12's of Pepsi, no Mountain Dew. Grabbed all 4 of 'em. Hopefully by the time I drink all that, there will be another batch or Coke will have theirs in the store. Otherwise it's back to hunting down the MexiCoke.

I hope you're right. I think it's a home run. I'm not sure how much advertising Pepsi did for this because I haven't been paying attention, but to have it consumed so quickly has to open some eyes.



I can only imagine how much better a mixed drink is with the throwback..someone please tell me!

[FORD]

Good news for Dr. Pepper fans.........



This is a nationwide limited time release like the Pepsi Throwback, and not to be confused with the Dublin Dr Pepper available only in Texas.

I've heard that this product is in distribution right now, so pick some up for the holidays and leave one out for Santa!

[Dr. Love]

We drink dublin DP in my household

[FORD]

In addition to the Dr. Pepper, it appears that the Pepsi and Mt. Dew will also get another run, and they actually have retro labels this time.....



MEMO to Coca-Cola's head office in Atlanta: Take the fucking hint already, and when you start cranking out that "Kosher Coke" for Passover, don't limit it to only the Jewish neighborhoods this time. Dump the MonSatan corn poison, double your sales within a year.

Gotta have a rhetro-label. Even the NFL dawns the throwback jerseys!

Long as they still make Fresca, Tab, Shasta and Diet Mr. Pibb, who gives a toss about Pepsi?

Actually, if they started using Stevia to sweeten the diet drinks, they could probably make huge increases in the diet soda market.

Nutra Sweet gives me headaches and Splenda... well let's just say it causes trouble at the other end. But given the choice of Stevia or high fructose corn poison, I'd take the Stevia every time. If it was Stevia vs real sugar, at least you would have a real choice of two good products.

Oddly enough Coke, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper have all announced plans to make Stevia sweetened versions, apparently a year ago, though I missed the news at the time.....

Dr Pepper says to sell drinks w/ natural sweetener
Thu, Dec 18 2008

* To announce launch of stevia-sweetened drinks shortly

* Shares rise 4.7 pct

NEW YORK, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc <DPS.N> said on Thursday it expects to announce the launch of low-calorie drinks made with a natural sweetener in the coming weeks, helping to send its shares up nearly 5 percent.

The move would follow similar introductions from larger rivals Coca-Cola Co <KO.N> and PepsiCo Inc <PEP.N>, which both said a day earlier they received U.S. regulatory clearance for sweeteners derived from the stevia plant.

Coke and Pepsi plan to launch new soft drinks in the coming weeks.

"We are pleased with the Food & Drug Administration's decision to approve the use of stevia in the United States," said Jim Trebilcock, a Dr Pepper Snapple marketing executive, in an email. "This important decision clears the way for food and beverage manufacturers to develop and introduce an array of naturally sweetened lower calorie choices."

"We expect to announce the launch of our first stevia-sweetened products in the coming weeks," he continued.

The sweeteners, made from the leaves of a South American shrub, will provide natural alternatives to chemical sweeteners like Equal and Splenda.

All artificial sweetners are toxic to the nervous system.

It's a major step up if they're putting stevia in as an alternative.

When is the Pepsi throwback on sale again? Mr Ally_Kat loves the stuff and I want to be able to stock up for him.

[FORD]

The Pepsi re-release is supposed to be effective in December 09, so it should be rolling out now, as should the Dr Pepper. Though I still haven't seen any of it yet here, and we got the Throwback fairly early during the release last spring.

I would think New York should get it earlier than most, since Pepsico is based in that state.

[sadaist]

I can't stand Pepsi. But I loved it when it was made with real sugar. Looking forward to getting some of this.

I was always a Coke drinker back in the day. I took the "Pepsi challenge' and always picked Coke. But the Throwback of last summer was a return to how Pepsi used to taste. It ain't as good as the Mexican Coke, but it's better than anything currently released by Coca Cola Inc in Atlanta.

I will buy Pepsi, Dr Pepper, and Mtn Dew in the coming weeks. If Coke wants my money, they know what to do - lose the corn poison.

If NY got it last round, I never found it. I had his family in Ohio stockpile the stuff until we drove out there in the summer.

[ODShowtime]

I will be monitoring this thread because I still remember how good old Dr pepper tasted. That shit was the bomb. I will hoard the stuff if I ever get my hands on any. If anyone in the Tampa bay area sees it please keep me posted.

You should take a trip to Texas sometime. The old Dr Pepper is readily available here, and after you're done seeing all the sights you can stock up on Dublin Dr Pepper before you head for home.

[Little Texan]

I've read somewhere that there's also a bottling plant in North Carolina that produces the old Dr Pepper and the old Mountain Dew.

[Little Texan]

The West Jefferson, NC Dr Pepper bottling plant, to be exact.

Check out all the different cane sugar sweetened soft drinks that are available there.

[Little Texan]

Ford, have you ever tried the Mexican versions of Fanta and Sprite? Some of the gas stations and Mexican stores around here sell it, and they taste totally different than the American versions! They are so much better than the American HFCS shit. I've never been a big fan of Sprite, but I liked the Mexican version!

[FORD]

Only get the Mexican Coke up this way. Haven't seen any other Mexi-pops here. Except for Jarritos, which can be found in the Mexican food section of any grocery store pretty much. It's also in the glass bottles though, so I buy one every once in a while. Some flavors are better than others.

A few years ago when some friends of mine returned from China they had some 7-UP they bought in Hong Kong, which of course had sugar in it. That was the best fucking can of 7 UP I had since the 80's. Since Dr Pepper and 7 UP are now the same company, I'm hoping that's the next brand to go with sugar. The corn poison is simply intolerable in anything fruit flavored.

[Nitro Express]

I would rather drink a beer than a soda pop.

Well, I got a thread for that too!

Meanwhile..... the Pepsi and Mtn Dew have arrived in FORD Country. No Dr Pepper sighting yet, unfortunately.

[hideyoursheep]

I like the Pepsi over the Dew, but they both taste better without the syrup. Nothing but Jones Cola over the holidays, and that's out of stock now.

[Jesus Christ]

All soda in Heaven hath cane sugar. I would never turn water into HFCS.

[FORD]

Still no Dr. Pepper sightings in FORD Country, but I found another good cane sugar soda....



INGREDIENTS: carbonated water, cane sugar, marion blackberry, blackcurrant and boysenberry juices (from concentrates), natural flavors, maltodextrin, citric acid, pectin, sodium benzoate, honey, fruit and vegetable juice for color.

So why do they call it "Marion Berry" soda when there are other berry juices in it?

Because the shit is so good it's like liquid CRACK, that's why!

[MAX]

Forgot about this thread.

What's weird is I was almost soda free until the little market right by my house started carrying the Mexican Coke. Now, I'm hooked again.

I don't care what anyone says but there's something about soda in plastic bottles (nevermind the HFCS) that makes it taste horrible!!! I love the coke in the glass bottles with the real sugar. Tastes soooooo fucking good.

Also, I agree about Jones sodas. They're delicious. Anyone tasted their new pure cola yet? I've seen it advertised but haven't had it. I'll bet it rocks.

[hideyoursheep]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

GOT SOME!!! I loaded the war wagon down with Dew and Pepsi. I feel like such a nerd, but I'm set!

I went apeshit and bough a 12 of Dr Pepper, too....I don't even like it.


I actually have to agree with max. I picked up 1 20oz. bottle of Pepsi from the GasHole and I was not pleased. I'm sticking to the cans.


You have so many variations of Pepsi it's not funny...Pepsi one, Diet Pepsi, regular Pepsi, caffiene free Pepsi....I can't figure out why the fuck they cant make Throwback on a regular basis. People want it.

[Candy Girl]

I've read somewhere that there's also a bottling plant in North Carolina that produces the old Dr Pepper and the old Mountain Dew.

Been there. Never checked out the Dr Pepper or Dew. I was after the grape and orange Nehi in glass bottles.

The MonSatan/ADM corn lobby is very powerful in this country. Pepsi and Coke - definitely if they both did it at the same time - might be the only companies big enough to be able to give them the collective corporate finger and get away with it. Damned if I know what's stopping them. Now would probably be the best time of the year to put pressure on them though, because both companies go into sugar recipie production mode for the Passover edition anyway. Might be the best time to just convert everything back to sugar permanently.

Then the next battle would be to drop the useless plastic bottles. Call it a "green" issue, and its another moneymaker for them.

I've read about plastic bottles with just water in them pulling out dangerous elements from the plastic.
If that's true I can't imagine how much more that would be the case if you have soda which is basically acid. That said I remember how great soda used to taste and the no HFCS versions would have a higher demand if more people knew about it.
