Why in the hell are you disconinuing Pepsi Throwback? It is the ONLY soda I will drink. It was almost impossible to find in the stores when you were marketing it, but now I can't find it anywhere so I have to assume you disconinued it.

Put it back. It is the 1st decent product you have had in years. I am actually mad enough to dump my Pepsi stock and recommend my investment club does the same.

they're getting rid of it?

i mean i only drank it once to see what it tasted like, since i
normally prefer the taste of diet, but... it didn't bother me any.


but i agree and feel it should stay on the market
if anything just because, i feel that the Jewish customers deserve to
have a variety of sodas to pick from.

(Throwback is kosher for passover, while the corn-syrup-based sodas
are not)

I too loved the pepsi throwback products, they had a crisper taste. it
had been selling well here in Maine and im a bit annoyed with pepsi's
game of putting it out and withdrawing it only to do the same eight
months later, either carry it or dont, dont treat your customers like
this pepsi!

ive come to like the new DEWmocracy sodas (except the nasty green one,
how long before i cant get those anymore?

I got an initial shipment of a pallet of the crap a few months ago. It
didnt sell, even when it ran on ad with the pepsi sale.

I sent it back to Pepsi.

Go to your local grocery store, talk to the receiving clerk/manager.
Get them to order you a pallet.



Good Day

I was totally with you until you got to the stock threat. It is always
good to let a company know that you like a discontinued product, but I
disagree with throwing a threat on at the end.

It was not meant to be a permanent product.

It probably costs more to produce, since the reason manufacturers went
from sugar to HFCS in the 80's was to save money.

There have been two trials of Throwback, the most recent ended in
February. It must be that Pepsi is not convinced that Throwback will
be a sufficiently profitable product.

If you think about it, soda is garbage. Making garbage more healthy
is an odd move.

Indeed, they said that they were only available for a limited time. (N/T) by A-Paul-Calypse Now! Mon May 16, 2011 @ 8:27 PM
