They must be selling really well, because at first they were only released as a limited time special. Several stores around here now carry at least a few cases at all times. I've made a few converts myself. One thing I noticed is that when people are accustomed to anything for long enough, they get used to it. Several people I've had try Throwback actually said it tasted like a diet drink! That's the insidious power that corn syrup has on the taste buds. It makes even sugar look tame by comparison. But give it time and your taste buds will remember. Then it's just a matter of enjoying a little nostalgia in a can.

I wish Coke would be more apt to do it like Pepsi does. There's Mexican Coke which has sugar, but it is insanely expensive to order and ship in.

I have introduced "Throwback" to some 20 somethings and they are stunned at how much better the drinks are with pure cane sugar. I told them the health nut Nazi's pressured the soda makers to switch. Ahhhh, the gold ole' days.

Meh.

Most of the Pepsi blind taste tests I've seen have a preference for the HFCS versions. Fructose instead of sucrose-big deal-the body treats it as sugar. The sugar cane (read: sucrose) versions of the soda are now widely available too-they're not rare.

Right now it's just lemonade but in about 30 minutes it's going to be lemonade with a dose of Crown Royal Maple in it.

Coffee with honey and creamer, ice water, Big Red soda, and vodka (all brands), but favorite is Ketel One.

Coffee please, no sugar (sugar =

) and a drop of milk. Aaaand whiskey, every day and only after 10 pm... never ever before that, and *only* 1-2 glasses. Liquor is a dangerous mistress.. (I'm with you KGerwin)
Speaking of... I recently discovered an american whiskey which proved to be excellent for it's price.
Buffalo Trace, very much recommended.
