Moloth - The M-Forums

Now available, Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback. I picked up a case of each tonight at Wal-Mart. They're sweetened with cane sugar, rather than high fructose corn syrup. I've been drinking Jones Sodas for the same reason. Throwback comes packaged in delightfully retro cans and cases, with a minimalist style and old school logos. Quite nice when contrasted with all the "extreme" portrayal of modern Dew.

So far, I've only tried the Mountain Dew. The flavor is similar, but a little different. It's sweet, but not overly sweet like regular Mountain Dew. Overall, it has a smoother taste. It kind of reminds me of a diet drink, but in a good way.

At first I wasn't sure if it was better, but after getting about halfway down the can I'm more accustomed to it, and I think I might end up preferring it. Going back to old Mountain Dew might just be worse now. I'll try the Pepsi tomorrow.

Kind of interesting that PepsiCo would try this. It's almost like they are acknowledging that HFCS isn't better, like they've led us to believe.

I suspect it's available for a limited time, but I do hope it's successful enough for them to maybe bring more mainstream sodas back with sugar again. Oh, and the cases were only $3.50 each at Wal-Mart. I was expecting them to be a lot more.
