    Places that only have 20 oz bottles don't really help Throwback sell out quicker in all cases. Once the .99 cent offer is gone (if the store has this offer at all), those small bottles can cost as much as 1.59 (before tax and deposit), thus discouraging many people (other than those who normally buy 20 oz bottles) from buying Throwback. This is one problem that Mountain Dew Throwback had in the New York area. The other problem, was it not being in some stores at all, even those that had Pepsi Throwback.

    2 liters as low as .88 don't make really Throwback (20 oz) look that appealing at all (other than real / natural sugar). The 12 packs can be good if you can get them lower than 3.00 and without any minimum purchase requirements.

    I think next time Pepsi should also put these in 2 liter bottles as well to increase distribution and sales. NFL Lemon Kickoff was a LTO that was also in 2 liter bottles, so why not Throwback.

    I wish MD Throwback was out here today -- Von's has five 12-packs of most of their sodas for $10. HOT!

    The 20oz TBs in Wyoming were blown out when they got close to their dates. I saw them at 2/dollar and 4/dollar!
    Give me some cane sugar Pepsi in a glass bottle!!

    I agree price is a big factor in why TB had stale sale volumes.
    It does seem that both Pepsi and Coke lack creative insight as
    to getting core cola drinkers excited about their new products.

    Saw 20oz. bottles of both throwbacks on sale last night here in Illinois.

    EDIT: saw the 12 packs as well tonight.

    Has anyone seen the Throwback products in Knoxville or anywhere in East Tennessee?

    I found 20 oz bottles of both Throwbacks the other day at Target. Bought one of each. MD was ok -- tasted a bit like diet soda! The Pepsi one didn't taste any different to me than regular Pepsi (although honestly, I am not a fan of Pepsi).

    I went into Von's last night and...score! They had 12 packs of MD Throwback. Even better, they are running a special -- 3 or more 12 packs for $2.49 each. I bought four!

    Still tastes a little diet to me, but the more I drink of it, that goes away. It's like my taste buds have to adjust from HFCS to Sugar or something?

    I have noticed the 20oz bottles of Pepsi and Mountain Dew throwback at Hess Gas Stations here in West Central Florida (Spring Hill, North of Tampa). I'm hoping to see some 12 packs so I can stock up. I still have some Throwbacks of MD and Pepsi from the last go around.

    Finally found both flavors in 20 oz. today (also at a Hess - go figure). Something was REALLY off about the Dew I bought. There was some underlying taste that reminded me of vitamin pills. I couldn't even finish half of it. Maybe I just got a bad bottle? The Pepsi is still great though... I'm TRYING not to finish it but it's hard to resist the urge to keep taking sips.

    Now hopefully Cherry Crush will turn up soon...

    Saw Cherry Crush, Pepsi TB and Dew TB today in Shop n Bag in Aston Pa.

    Didn't buy any, the 12 packs are $4.99.
    The 2 liters were $1.25, so I can wait for a sale.
