If that is the case then IMO what is "Retro" about it?
I mean the original (pre HFCS) Pepsi is what I thought was
the idea of "Retro". Just give me good old cane sugar Pepsi
and do not change the pre HFCS formulation.

Why can't Pepsi and Coke keep it simple and give us
soda pops of the pre HFCS era? {A side from cost.}

would pepsi dare call their sugar version "pepsi classic"? LOL!

I bet it's because so many Pepsi addicts are used to the HFCS taste, and the change might be too dramatic for taste buds. It can't be that bad in moderation, ya know?

I'm glad to hear they didn't follow through with their plans to use sucralose in it.

I tried the Mexican coke, its much better tasting that the HFCS one, and the RC with sugar is better than the HFCS.... I would only imagine the pepsi would be the same.

It has lower calories than regular Pepsi, is made from sugar, and has raisins listed in the ingredients, which is what Ramon said he could taste in the Pepsi Retro.

Some things I must have to clarify...

One is that it doesn't have raisins on the ingredients, I said in another thread that it tastes like raisins or prunes or whatever, but it doesn't mean that Pepsi Retro has raisins on the ingredients... actually Pepsi Retro is made of cola nut extract, cane sugar, and other natural ingredients... and about if it has lower calories than regular Pepsi, I don't know, cause the Pepsi Retro label doesn't have a nutrition facts chart...
