It's not a big claim after you tasted the European recipe of Dr Pepper. You'll find out soon enough.

Ok, I have been to a bunch of convenient stores and grocery stores up here in MA/NH and haven't seen these yet!!!!! What's up with not stocking New England with them?

Guitarman-S.T- · 01-07-2010, 05:07 PM

AH! I want that Dr.P
All I can find is the Mtn.d and Pepsi stuff.

hotreds · 01-07-2010, 05:14 PM

Our Wallyworld has them in 12 paks. Mama said- "You're diabetic- you don't need anything like that with sugar, no matter how 'neat' the concept might be!"

G G · 01-07-2010, 05:12 PM

Bought all three today. Didn't like the Dr. Pepper at all, it tasted like diet to me.

Guitarman-S.T- · 01-07-2010, 07:41 PM

I enjoyed the Mtn.Dew, Pepsi was good as well, just different because of how jacked up our taste buds are because of HFCS haha.

Used to be a HUGE Dr.Pepp guy, Lately I don't care for it, Extremely sweet... So My search is still on for the throw back, Maybe I'll have to cellar a few 12 packs

n3uka · 01-07-2010, 09:25 PM

Picked up a 12er of the dr pepper at Target today.
hope it lives up to expectations.

"Dublin" Dr. Pepper has been around forever in Texas.

I'm not a Dr. Pepper fan (stone me

) but the Throwback Mt. Dew does take me back to my teen years in the 70's. We didn't have a lot of soda (watered down Kool-aid and milk--whole milk, there was no other kind!--were the beverages of choice in my house, besides my dad's Old Milwaukee cans.) So when I could ride my bike out to the 7-11 a few neighborhoods over, I'd grab a Mt. Dew and a comic book (which I wasn't supposed to have, either.) I was livin' on the edge.

So, yea, I really enjoy the Throwback Mt. Dew. It tastes like that, to me.

kelmac07 · 01-08-2010, 07:26 PM

I tried the Mnt Dew today...didn't notice a difference at all.

T.G · 01-08-2010, 07:41 PM

Just swung by Target and discovered that all Pepsi, Mt. Dew & Dr. Pepper 12-packs (cans) are on sale for $3 each + CRV through tomorrow. This includes throwback Dew, Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Pepsi. Apparently there is also a $1 off a 12-pack of Pepsi products coupon on Target's website, which you can print multiple times. I don't know if the coupon works for Dr. Pepper, but it should work for Mtn. Dew as "Pepsi Co" is clearly indicated as the manufacturer on the Throwback Mtn. Dew.

I have no idea if this $3 for 12-pack sale is national or by region, in this case Northern CA.

I miss the Mountain Dew (and sodas in general) that come in glass bottles. Soft drinks that are in plastic bottles taste quite different from drinks that are in glass bottles. The throwback Mt. Dews that are sold in my area come in glass bottles, so I'm not sure that the formula is different, but that the lastic flavor is not infused in the Throwback drinks b/c they are served in glass bottles. The glass container may be the difference in the cleaner taste. I miss the glass bottle days (they haven't been seen around here on a regular basis since the early '90s).

I say that all the time Andy.

The Pepsi's in the 16 ounce bottles were lots different than they are today. Nehi orange and grape aint what they used to be when the bottles were glass neither.

I've never compared the two in such a way butit makes sense. Also, thanks for the tip. There are several Whole Foods near by. 365 is their brand if I'm not mistaken and this is just one more excuse to get myself in there for a bit of good shopping.

Whole Foods in the bay area = Outrageously Overpriced

Maybe, if not then either the barn herf or I'll call you when I'm next headed into San Jose.

bonjing · 01-16-2010, 02:11 PM

In case anyone else is looking for the throwback stuff, I spotted Pepsi, MT. Dew, and Dr. Pepper at Pack n Save.

Love the throwback Pepsi. Had the Mountain Dew yesterday and it was meh.

My 17 yo Mt Dew expert said it lacked the "kick".

hotreds · 01-16-2010, 03:48 PM

Tried the Dr. Pepper- it was ok, but seemed very flat. Got a bottle of Mt. Dew and Pepsi that I have not yet tried. I also have to agree that sodas in glass bottles are better tasting than plastic or aluminum.
