Mountain Drink is coming out (is already out?) with a new variation called Throwback. Whats different here, is they're using real sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. Its only going to be made during this summer though, so you better go out there and grab it.

Mountain Dew 'Throwback'
This may be a direct response by Pepsi to the rising cost of corn over the last couple of years or so. It would make sense for them to reintroduce a sugar-based product at this time if they thought the price of corn was going to rise even higher and the price of sugar was going to be more stable.
Yes, I got one of these from Wal Mart last week. It was OK...I have gotten rather accustomed to hyper-sweet HFCS Mountain Dew. Throwback is VERY different....more citrusy, more bite...reminded me a tiny bit of Squirt.
What is really awesome if you can still find it is Kosher for Passover Coke. Also sweetened with sugar, it tastes and smells like Coke did when I was a kid. I vastly prefer it to regular Coke, and have stocked up accordingly.
So, is it true that mtn dew cause testicular shrinkage? just wondering. Long-running rumor, even though i never drink it...
"So, is it true that mtn dew cause testicular shrinkage? just wondering. Long-running rumor, even though i never drink it..."That's what has been worrying me lately. I stopped drinking it and I'm now using Dr. Pepper as a substitute. It's not like a drank it all the time, though.

Well, I picked up both Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback and was pleasantly surprised. The Pepsi Throwback has a big taste difference compared to what I'm used to. Not as much "burn" and has a sweet aftertaste. It's also not as bubbly, which makes it easier to drink. So if you're too used to the normal Pepsi, you might not like it.
On the other hand, Mountain Dew Throwback is fucking awesome. Not as syrupy, and a little more citrus. Smooth and refreshing. I think it might be real dew that they fly to different mountaintops to collect. I will stock up on this shit before they stop selling it and I hope Pepsi decides to keep it along side the normal Mountain Dew.
So the Pepsi Throwback is a nice change, but not really better. And if Mountain Dew Throwback can't stand alongside the current Mountain Dew, then they need to just replace it with Throwback. The best things come out of nowhere and until I read this thread, I had no idea this existed. But it's a nice surprise. I love this shit. Now I'm going to do something a little more productive than confess how much I like a new soda on a gaming website.
