Too bad you didn't have a bottle of WJ Dew to compare to Throwback 2.0.

Get some cans of Dew 2.0 and wait until Passover and try to get Kosher Dew if possible

I have never seen or heard of KP Mountain Dew.

Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback are both now in NYC, with 2 Liter bottles!!!

The 2 liter bottles will help sales grow with lower prices during sales. Pepsi also has 12 pack cans, I haven't seen Mountain Dew cans yet.

Never seen it in the Chicago area... typically just Kosher Pepsi.

OK...FYI Pepsi TB and Mountain Dew TB can not by Jewish KP dietary laws are not Kosher for Passover. See Sam C's prior post for a detailed explanation.

Technically, that is not exactly right. If you leave the religious aspect out of it, a bottling plant can switch sweeteners on the fly. In fact, at some market points, a manufacturer will play one sweetener off against the other for the best price (this market condition has not existed in the USA for some time, but commodity markets change over time, it may happen again).

The religious aspect is where the seperate line comes in. To be "kosher for Passover" the entire operation has to be overseen by Rabbis. Obviously they charge for their services, so it just makes sense to only pay as few as possible, overseeing a smaller operation. Further, the very reason HFCS is not "kosher" is because corn (maize, the word "corn" in the KJV is used in the British meaning, which is synomonous with "grain") is, of course, is a New World grain unmentioned in the Bible. The kosher issue is that as a grain it theoretically could get a trivial amount of yeast from the air in it, and yeast (levening) is prohibited. So, since on a theoretical basis a line used for HFCS could, have a tiny drop of HFCS in it somewhere and thus could have an atom or two of yeast, the Rabbi would require a cost prohibitative industrial and religious cleaning of the whole set up.

This is why a seperate line is used.

Anyone see the Pepsi Throwback commercials during the playoff games?

I actually found Pepsi Throwback at Kroger yesterday night. They wanted $4.49 for a 12 pack so I passed. That seemed a little too high since usually Pepsi products are 2 for $5 at a lot of stores.

I finally tried the newer version of Pepsi-Cola throwback in the circa 1980 can.

These are horrible, they taste like Coca-Cola, the bad ones that came in early cans.

Too bad, the first Pepsi-Cola throwback was delightful.

Well, at least it comes in a nice aluminum can. You don't get any better than that! MMMMMmmmmm, That wonderful aluminum flavor.
