Nice design on the cans this year.

The Throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew have been back in my area for about a week.

I just ran into the Hertiage Dr. Pepper yesterday.

We have a 12 pack of the Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper but i've tried neither yet.

Unless they've improved the taste of the Mountain Dew this year, i'd rather have the newer.

I don't think they're working with the original formula here because I know they didn't spoil me with the new stuff.

Is it in your area yet? Have you tried the Dr. Pepper yet?

I bet it's chuggable like in those commercials back in the day when they'd slam a whole bottle like BAM!

Gotta agree with fab on this one...had that throwback mountain dew..that shit was just downright nasty. I can only imagine how bad the other ones taste.

If it's "Throwback" should it be in a glass bottle instead?

Throwback Dew and Pepsi have been in Tuscarawas County for a couple months. I tried both and gave it away. Now I know why I didn't like Mt. Dew when I was a kid and Pepsi never tasted like that stuff when I started drinking it some 40 years ago. I do wish you could still buy pop in a glass bottle.

I used to love seeing my Mom come from the grocery store with the the 16 oz Pepsi's. I am thinking they came in 8 pack bottles? Nice lil carrying case?

I like the old Pepsi logo much, much better than the newer one - which is ugly.

Tried Wal-Mart, Kroger and Target.

I tried the throwback Dr. Pepper a few weeks ago, it tasted the same to me.

Yep, 8 pack of 16 oz returnables.

You had to pay .10 per bottle deposit when buying an 8 pack then the bottles were like money.

Turned an 8 back of empty bottles into a candy bar and pop many a day.

I just had the throwback Pepsi for the first time. What a waste! Taste the same to me. Seem like another way to trick people out of their money.

Love Throwback Pepsi, I don't feel it has an aftertaste. I really want to try Heritage Dr. Pepper.

The Heritage Dr. Pepper is actually really good compared to the Throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew.

You can buy it in the glass bottle. Look in the Mexican food section in your grocery store. Most sell Mexican coke, which is regular with Coke except it's in a glass bottle, has a Spanish/English label, and is usually made with real sugar instead of corn syrup.

Also, I love the throwback Pepsi. I don't like Mountain Dew at all and I haven't tried the Dr. Pepper. I think it's great because real sugar is better for you than corn syrup and there's actually fewer grams of sugar in this than in the regular Pepsi. Besides, it just tastes better!

Athens Kroger had an entire end cap dedicated to it when I was there right after Chirstmas.
