I guess it hasn't made its way to Texas yet, we don't have any of the throwback or natural...

I'll make another run to the local stores this weekend.

I've been salivating for some throwback Mountain Dew!

Both Throwbacks are here now, from plant OG. They are both delicious, they both have a more crisp/clean taste. I bet these are big hits. The Pepsi Rep. I talked to said 4 weeks only and they had limited supplies.

Hey guys... well, I got my hands on a bottle of Pepsi Throwback today via a 7-Eleven here in the city... so it was time for a review.

Overall, I was impressed. Loved the taste, still hate the package design. I actually was able to do side-by-side tasting with HFCS Pepsi and Kosher Pepsi, and it was interesting to note the differences... surprisingly between Kosher and Throwback. Didn't expect that (Kosher tasted much sweeter, Throwback was more subtle).

Excellent review Tannerman

Have you seen it yet at Jewel or Dominick's?

Not yet, and I've been visiting area Jewel locations for the past 2-3 days. I found this bottle at a 7-Eleven on the corner of Austin/Belmont.

They are both missing an ingredient. Citric Acid is missing from both. It was in the original Pepsi & Mountain Dew. I have checked the couple of bottles of AD Huesing product made with sugar I still have and I have a can that says made with Pure Louisiana Cane Sugar, and it also has Citric Acid. The Citric Acid adds a little bite, and that is missing. That is my only complaint.

Good catch on the citric acid being missing. It's part of the standard ingredient label. I think this is the first time I've NOT seen that ingredient listed before.

On the mountain dew I see citric acid but concentrated orange juice is missing.
It also says artificial flavors that I can not find on the regular version ingredient list.
