I don't drink very much pop usually. I quit drinking it about 5 or six years ago. One reason is because of the high fructose corn syrup. I'm a firm believer that regular ol sugar is much better for you than that crap.
But since I have been seeing the Pepsi Throwback made with "real" sugar I have actually drank a few over the past month. I have drank more pop in the last month than the last 5 years added together. I have yet to do a Dew but this weekend I'm a planning on it.
I hope they keep this stuff around.
I heard rumor that this was kind of done for the Jewish community to provide them with kosher soda?
kosher soda, is there really such thing? :lol8:

I never drank regular soda regularly [used to be a Diet Coke junkie, but mostly gave that crap up about 8 years ago], but I totally agree w/ ya about the real sugar vs. HFCS...which is not found in nature. Both are empty calories, but I believe the HFCS has a different effect on the body's metabolism when being processed. Not sure how; I was long gone outta college by the time studies were being done on its deleterious effects.
But since I have been seeing the Pepsi Throwback made with "real" sugar I have actually drank a few over the past month.
So - that's what makes it "Throwback Mtn. Dew"? I had no idea, either :ne_nau:.
I wonder how it would taste instead of Sprite in the cocktails I make on Friday nights? Hmmmm.....it's got caffeine in it, right?

Lived on it in high school. 50 cents in a glass bottle with a 10 cent bottle deposit. We always had a half dozen glass bottles rolling around under the back seat of my jeep. Those were the days.

You say "Throwback Mountain Dew" this is what I'm thinking....
At the heights of his NASCAR success in the early 1980s fans often booed Waltrip, but his wit and endearing silliness gradually won over the hearts of most of his critics. Once, as a crowd booed him in Victory Lane, Waltrip silenced the hostile audience by challenging them to "Boo if you love D.W." He also was able to please his sponsor, Mountain Dew, by noticing, "They were saying Dew!", making his sponsor stand up and be noticed.

DW won the Nascar Grand National Winston Cup in 1981 driving the Dew Buick GNX.
Racing was a lot more fun back than... and a lot less cooperate... back in the day the drivers were still allowed to show their personalities. And after a race most would being drinking, fighting and f**king....
The big money that came into the sport about mid 90's destroyed real Stock Car racing... DW was one of the people that actually turned the sport main stream.... he was smart and well spoken.... and he understood how to use the media to his benefit.
Up through the early 80's it was still possible to build a race car in your garage and race NASCAR..... AAhhhh... the good ol' days....

This suprises me. No idea there was so much homosexual sex in the sport between the drives. I thought most fans wouldn't support & tolorate gay drivers. Glad to hear they are ahead of the curve on social issues.
You should have pursed this sport more so you could have dominated the lonely female fan market.

Back when they were stockers it took real men to hustle those cars around the track....
One of the greatest drivers of all time, Fireball Roberts, was killed in a firey crash.... Fireball lived for about a month after the wreak but his chief wrench (Smokey Yunick) told me one day in all seriousness.... Fireball really died because he lost his will to live after the wreak.... because Fireball's favorite body part was burned off in the fire.... true story....
PS: I drove Sports Cars (think 24 hours of Daytona) and not NASCAR. Nascar was really not that big when I was racing. The Indy 500 was the big deal... Gentlemen start your coffins....
