Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew

T.G · 01-04-2010, 07:27 PM

Ok, so I just stumbled on these two the other day, Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew - I guess it's the old formulas made with real sugar instead of that HFCS **** they put in everything these days.

I'm not much of a soda guy, I probably drink less than 10 sodas or other soft drinks per year, but I bought one small bottle of each (16oz?). Tried the Mtn. Dew today, seems cleaner in finish than HFCS Mtn. Dew, but, at as few sodas per year that I drink I'm really not sure.

Any soda guys out there try this stuff? Your comments?

I tried one of the MD throwbacks a while back and it kinda tasted funny to me. Prolly need to try a couple more.

Haven't seen Heritage Dr Pepper but would love to get my hands on some

Both the Throwback Mountain Dew and Pepsi are good. Can't say they are significantly better, taste a little cleaner and different but I do enjoy both of them. I had been seeing them both in cans for a few months, but just got the 20 oz. in the last month or so. I am not a big cola fan but the Pepsi is far better than Coke and comparable to Mexi-Coke.

Haven't seen these around here yet, but I really liked Throwback Pepsi. I am looking forward to these.

I had the Throwback Mt. Dew a couple months ago and was not a fan. Like the current stuff better. Now I have to hit the grocery tores looking for the Dr. Pepper and give it the Capt Morgan test.

I saw the Throwback Dew a few days ago and picked up a couple 2-liters ($1 apiece.)

I really like it. It brought into pretty stark contrast how strong the corn syrup taste is in the regular stuff. I hope they keep it around.

I haven't seen it around!! Hope I do soon though.
I must say, I hope it's not a huge change. I can taste the difference between regular Mt Dew and diet and caffine free (why they did this one is beyond me!!!!!!)

I tried the throwback Mountain Dew back over the summer and I didn't like it. I prefer the regular blend.

Jbailey · 01-04-2010, 09:03 PM

I tried the throwback dew this past summer and enjoyed it. It did remind me of the dew of the past compared to whats out there now. (not a big fan of dew in general). I might have Boylan's or something made with can sugar with a cigar.

Try the Pepsi, since we all know you are such a huge fan of it

I believe the quote was something like, "I really like this pop better", whilst you were drinking Pepsi. Plenty of witnesses too.

I love the Dr. Pepper throw back!

I've never had heritage Dr. Pepper but I have had Dublin Dr. Pepper which may be the same thing. Dublin Dr. Pepper is made with pure sugar cane and is as addicting as crack!

icehog3 · 01-04-2010, 11:02 PM

Anything that eliminates HFCS is OK by me.

I didn't like Pepsi Throwback the first time I tried it but after that it became addicting. I really want to try this Heritage Dr. Pepper though.
