Pepsi discovers substance called "sugar." Plans to add it to new sodas.

Wow Nice look, I like the bottle design that logo fits pretty good there.


the American version of Bottled coke has HFCS, the Mexican one is made with sugar I see it all the time when going to Costco, I buy tons of bottled coke

Wow, the Natural bottle looks pretty good.

It's a nice use of the new logo on the Pepsi natural bottle. I'm not really a fan of the new logo, but it works in this application.

anyone else think that this is a big ploy by Pepsi? In my opinion the HFCS pepsi tastes much better than the throw back. I think they made it taste like crap on purpose so they can point to pure sales, and justify using HFCS.

I finally found Pepsi throwback this week so I bought some cans. Wow, it's much better than regular Pepsi I didn't realize it was a limited release I would have bought more.

The Pepsi Throwback commercial is one my favorites right now.

Looks very similar to Pepsi Raw that's been out in the UK for some time (also using natural sugars).

I tried some 'Throwback'...tasty, though I wish Coke would do something similar (do they?). I'm a Coke guy.

The new bottle looks like some kind of hair care product.

I tried the Mountain Dew one...it was good.

But I tend to like "darker" sodas...so I'm now gonna make a point to get some Pepsi like this!

Yep, that's about right!

Throwback Mt. Dew is gross. I tried it and hated it. But i'm sure some people will love it.

For some reason, I think of Strong Sad upon seeing this.

Throwback Mtn Dew ------------> another vote for the wrong taste

 

[gkarris]

Don't get it - what's the difference between Natural and Throwback?

They taste very different. Pepsi Natural is a completely different formula and thus, unique flavor. Pepsi Throwback is the same formula as regular Pepsi but with sugar instead of HFCS.

Me too...it's uncanny

Has anyone is Southeast Pennsylvania found Pepsi Natural in stores yet? If yes, which stores carry it?

I hadn't drank soda in over 5 years but all my friends were talking about the Throwback stuff and along with the retro-style commercial, I took a "time-out" on my soda break.

Pepsi Throwback reminds me of Coke. Pepsi always had a strong bite to it while Coke was the sweeter of the two. Throwback was sweeter and had less kick.

Then again, 5 years might have clouded my memory.

Really? I've always felt the exact opposite. Pepsi is sweeter to me and Coke is more harsh...in fact it burns my throat which I don't care for at all.

I don't really drink soda either though....except for Jarritos sometimes at various bay area taquerias.

Then again, 5 years might have clouded my memory.

Probably just as well

For some reason, I find Pepsi Raw tastes like christmas cake. I much prefer the Red Bull Cola. It's a natural cola made by the Red Bull people, not a cola with red bull in it.

Over in the UK, our sodas are made with sugar, and they do have slightly less calories. There is a small difference in the taste, but not much. I find that HFCS sodas feel 'heavier', you can feel the difference in your stomach after you've drunk them.

Pepsi throwback is delicious. Although I did notice that it required to be at a lower temperature than the HFCS sodas do in order to taste good.

Actually, Pepsi always used either Corn Syrup or HCFS, even outside of the US,

What's happened is that the price of corn has gone up. It used to be way cheap but now sugar has become only slightly more expensive so they may as well use it.
