Pepsi Throwback Removed from Market makes me Angry

I completely agree. I hope Coke brings out a similar throwback item.

my boyfriend just bought a bottle of it.

But yeah I don't think it was popular in the mainstream...

I wondered what happend to this version. I fell in love with it. I
have been looking for it for a few weeks now and wasnt able to find,
didnt realize it was for a limited time.

I just wrote a letter about this as well, I didnt make it shared
letter though. My husband is really upset about this only being
limited. He loves pepsi and LOVES natural cane sugar sodas. It is a
nicer taste. I got a nice letter back saying that they will make a
note of the basically and maybe they will bring it back. : (

Me nieces husband is a general regional distribution manager for
Pepsi.
He said that the reason they do not keep these "speciality" Pepsi
products on the market for very long is that they just do not have the
room to do so. Their product spaces are limited in ALL stores and to
just make these available in vending machines would not be as good an
idea either.
I suggested that instead of removing these from the market (my
favortie was the diet Chocolate/Cherry Dr Pepper) why not make them
available online for people to order. This way they could have these
stored in the warehouses and sent out as ordered.

I have not heard from him but he said he was going to speak with his
boss who may take the idea back to the main headquarters. He said
Pepsi works hard on trying to keep their customers drinking their
products.

It may work...who knows...will just have to wait to see.

I too loved this product. Especially the Mountain Dew version. I
don't drink a lot of Dew, but when hubby had me try it, I could
definitely tell a difference...no after taste. It was wonderful!

i wrote a letter a few weeks back, they sent me a letter, basicly said
"limited tme only, thanks for the interest"

How do you get a company to make a product that for some reason they
don't want to make, at least after some kind of promotional time?

I guess their concern is the cost. They would have to charge more for
it, thus probably driving more business to Coke.

Do they have a product suggestion site? Maybe you could launch a
grassroots Facebook campaign and garner lots of media attention. Would
make it hard for them to ignore.

at least historically. There may be a way today to make the cost
competitive, but I can tell you that I pay more for Snapple now that
it is made with sugar. I don't mind, because I feel it is a better
product.

Soda has become so darned sweet, and people love to get it dirt cheap.
There is a lot of inertia there, but I hope you win the fight.

Good feedback.
I wrote a letter here and they got back to me, so when you hear back
too, let us know their response.
