Keep the Throwback Products, Pepsi!

Write a Letter to this Company  |  Rate this Company


I just wanted to drop y'all a line and compliment your new "throwback" Pepsi and Dew. I am only 22, not old enough to remember sodas with real sugar. Today checking out at Wal-Mart, I noticed your throwback Mountain Dew. I decided to try it and wound up buying four! It has a much lighter and crisper taste than your HFCS based products. I have heard stories from my grandparents about MD back in the day and how soda these days is not the same. I encourage you to keep these sugar based products on the market permanently, not just for a limited time.

I also must compliment the price, although this might be a Wal-Mart thing. The regular Pepsi products are selling for $1.38 for a 20 ounce, however the throwback products are $1.00 a piece, the reason I chose the throwback product

Thank you for your time in reading this letter and please consider my suggestion to make this a permanent product. A google search of "pepsi throwback" shows many positive reviews.

Thank you again,
Chad G., Brewer, Maine

I do not usually drink soda any more, but have purchased a case of the
throwbacks for pepsi and mountain dew. I tried them and not only found
the taste crisper and cleaner than most sodas, but generally less
syrupy. I am in my middle twenties and grew up overseas, where most
cola producers still use natural sugars, and this is the taste I grew
up with. It is nice to have a soda I can enjoy having in my fridge
again, I hope you continue these products beyond the limited
promotional time. I will certainly buy them if you do.

I tried it and I didn't like it at all.If you have been drinking
regular,non diet Pepsi than you may not like Throwback.....it isn't as
sweet or as crisp as the Pepsi you may be used to drinking;to me,it
tastes like flat Pepsi.

I normally drink diet soda but I'll give this one a try...

Although it's not really a "healthy" product in my opinion... I agree
that I think we've gone too heavily into the high fructose corn syrup.

Perhaps they should bring back :Pepsi Free", "Pepsi Blue", "Crystal
Pepsi", and the grosses thing out there "Pepsi Spice" which was only
available during the holidays.


I usually only drink water, Im not into sugary drinks, they are too
sweet, rot your teeth, and are not generally healthy for you.


Good Day

I'm a Coke drinker and got to try Coke with real sugar when I was in
Mexico a few years back and it was great, I wish they sold it here.
I've heard it can be bought at kosher type stores and was in some
regular stores around passover, but I was not able to find any at my
local grocery store.

I'm going to give the Mt. Dew a try....

pepsi with real sugar by Rachel M. Mon May 11, 2009 @ 11:01 PM


by Donno Posted Sun May 3, 2009 @ 11:54 PM

may be promotional; I think similar products with sugar usually cost a
little more.

This is great feedback.
