Pepsi throwback & Ya-hooo! Moutain Dew throwback

ok, it's that time again. the limited run throwbacks with REAL SUGAR should have hit stores today, but calls to 2 Little Rock Kroger stores and Big Star in Mayflower came up empty. i won't give up, i can't, i am out of my stash, i am drinking my last one right now! as you can see above, the cans have a more retro appearance. last limited run, the cans were not so cute. it's not just about cute, you want REAL SUGAR. you don't want icky gross nasty high fructose corn syrup. the limited run ends february 22, 2010. let your fingers do the walking & call pepsico to find out where the throwbacks are being sold near you~ 501-568-0770. do it.

Beverage reviews for the curious connoisseur

Just Say 'NO!' to High Fructose Corn Syrup or 'YES!' to Pepsi Throwback

i am a pepsi girl from way back, probably because my dad, was and is, a coke in the 8oz bottle man. i was the new generation. at least that is how the dead MJ sold it while his head was on fire. these days i don't do high fructose corn syrup, so that leaves pepsi out of my fridge. i am not perfect on my NO HFCS fight, so, on occassion, i have been known to indulge on a fountain pepsi at Riverdale Cinema or Target. i heard back in May that pepsi would put out a natural sugar version, for a limited time. i was in. i looked for it here and while out west on vacay and never did find it. so, early this week a new quest began. i called the local Pepsico to see where in Little Rock the natural sugar soda was sold. my question was met with with an exhale and an "i don't know, Kroger? Wal Mart?". i told ms. helpful senior that i had not seen it at Kroger and she abruptly put me on hold only to come back to tell me that the person i needed to ask was "not there". i told ms. helpful senior that we would both be happier if she liked her job and said good bye. ah, technology. 20 minutes later, my cell phone rang, it was ms. helpful senior, apologetic, asking forgiveness and armed with a list of stores that had ordered Pepsi Throwback in the last month. funny, not 1 Little Rock grocer ordered it. i was directed to Big Star in Mayflower. within 4 minutes of that phone call i was on my way to Mayflower and within an hour i had seven 12 packs safely hoarded. if Big Star is out try Harps in Conway.
