Pepsi and Mt. Dew Throwback, REAL sugar!
 

Anyone tried this yet? I keep forgetting to check it out when I hit up the store. I've heard soda with real sugar (and not corn syrup) tastes amazing.

I had some Coke imported from Mexico a few days ago, made with real sugar. You could definately tell the difference.

And since the price of food-grade corn has gone up so much due to farmers growing hybrid corn for energy production, this move makes a lot of sense.

Honestly the tastes is damn near identical. I am pretty anti HFCS and think it is quasi evil, it still is sugar and it still sets off same sweet in your taste buds. Really think unless people are of the super rare types that have super tongues that allow them to tasty crazy shit and are employed for it, then there is no taste difference.

We get the Mexican coke all of the time since they keep it in stock at our grocery story and I honestly like the bottles. Tried Mexican coke next to normal coke and well they both tasted same. I still buy mostly sugar based soda's though and in glass when possible.

In the end of course we are just talking about the difference of the soda company paying 1 cent more per soda. Since that is about all the save by using HFCS. Yet on their scales that is massive.

I have been waiting for them and a few others to come out soon with the anti HFCS sales pitch so they can sell us the original product and a higher profit markup.

After Shock, do you think maybe the fact that you have access to both types means that you can no longer taste the difference? I've read a lot of comments online saying the taste is fastly different and for the better.. idk I'll just have to check it out for myself I guess.

I think the fact this was released on 4.20 is pretty funny. Although I don't see the relation..

mm i love glass bottle soda

Nah cause I rarely drink the HFCS type. I thought for sure I would. Did the blind and all. Failed and only got it right around half the time.

Now glass versus plastic - yes I can tell more often. Glass versus can, not that much.

Where can you get this stuff? Want to ship some to Canada?

you can buy "all natural" soda and it's real sugar too. great shit

:1orglaugh

I wonder if it tastes better.

didn't they switch to HFCS originally because it was government subsidised, and helped farmers? :D

Finally. I hope more companies follow suit...

Corn subsidies and Sugar import tariffs.

Same here in the Philippines. Made with Sugar. I think the reliance in the US on corn syrup was due to Congress' imposition of sugar tariffs which made imported sugar less price competitive plus the US produces a huge surplus of corn. I could be mistaken but I think that's how soda reliance on corn syrup started in the 70s or so.

Gotchya - so it's just the scales swinging back in the other direction now?

I heard that sugar was getting massively subsidised for ethanol production as well.

I don't think I can even remember the last time I had a non-diet cola.

As I understand it, it just comes out 1 cent cheaper per can to make coke with HFCS instead of plain sugar. Multiply that by their volume and you will see massive dollars sitting there. Same reason everyone has been so damn inventive with the aluminum soda can (number of assorted patents is crazy), some of the most minor changes allow for tremendous cost savings at the level soda maker work at.

Now if the market would show that they would gladly pay 3 cents more per can for soda if it contained only real sugar. You would be certain to see the big soda companies fill that need instantly. They are profit driven and sugar or hfcs is just another ingredient cost and nothing more.

go to a kosher store

I'm curious to see if we get that in my neck of the woods.

Try a coke from canada. It must be bottled with better water i'm assuming , they taste much different than texas coke

every country or even regon has a different recipe for Coke, I use to work for them, Get the glass bottles of coke, they taste the best

yeap, when I was living in MX City, I saw everyone always ask for a Coke with their 3 meals..

Hansen's all natural soda's are a better alternative


you can always go to the mexican cantinas and they sell the mexico version of coke which has real sugar

Sprite Green
 

wrong post

sodas made with real sugar really are better and you really can taste the difference....sweet!

have not heard that ,sounds good

it is man. I personally can't stand any colored soda but son of a bitch I had a can of "all natural" Black Cherry soda and LOVED it.

any health food/organic food store should have it

I am interested to try it :)

I got a 12 pack of both here in Indiana. Found it at a "pop shop" near the michigan border. So far only tried the Mtn Dew Throwback and ironically it seems less sweet and less carbonated which I like a lot.

Bingo, the kosher Coke and Diet Coke were so much better than the usual shit. I bet the Mountain Dew Throwback is way better than it's counterpart.

Try some of this stuff: http://www.jonessoda.com/files/products-glass.php

Made with pure cane sugar.
Their cola I think tastes a little better than cane sugar coke or reg coke. (and i like coke)
Their Cream Soda is amazing.

You Jews have all the good shit:upsidedow

I would be excited if I drank soda.. smart, smart move by Pepsico

That's the only Coke I drink. I usually have at least 4 cases of glass bottle Mexican Coke in the garage at any given time. Hansen's and Jones are also real sugar.

I don't care about Pepsi..I may give it a try but you can bet your ass I'll be stocking up on the Mountain Dew. :glugglug

hmm I'll have to look for it.. I'm drinking a mt dew right now but this is the first I've heard of this type of it

A bit off topic but anyone else here dig COKE ZERO? Awesome taste.

I'm going to look for it this week.

Any time I see the sugar Coke I usually grab some... something about it is quite tasty, maybe just because it's different? I don't know. I do agree with the mentioned above of it having less carbonation, I've noticed that as well.

I do. i think it's a PH thing. I personally think its the best tasting soda here. I was a huge Mountain Dew guy in the states, but that's trash here.

I always have Mexican Coke in the fridge, it's 100% better than the syrupy HFCS shit. The Passover Coke is better than the HFCS but they usually use beet sugar, which isn't quite as crisp as cane sugar.

Yeah it's pretty decent.

seriously stop drinking that shit. Soda drinks are all disgusting, try water ... :2 cents:
