I don't drink Pepsi products, but still, it's a step in the right direction

"In the middle of April, PBV also will begin distributing Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback, which features those brands formulated with sugar."

They're starting to realize that some people are trying to get away from the HFCS

Given that I have been off Mountain Dew for almost a year now (which my blood pressure thanks me for), that news is just evil.

Now if only all of them would do it...

Look for Dr pepper made with cane sugar. It *is* out there, and it's damned tasty.

that is, if you like Dr. Pepper. :)

Oh, also, mexican coke is made with cane sugar, but it may be difficult to locate in your area.

Try your local Mexican greasy-spoon kind of restaurant. Not chain stores...

Costco also has Mexican coke

Good on them, but we've long since switched to diet. Even when I'm willing to indulge in the calories, the non-diet soda is just too syrupy-sweet for my taste anymore. I doubt the change from HFCS to sugar will change that (shrugs).

I hope it sells well enough that the idea spreads, though.

I know the feeling. I've been drinking diet drinks for so long that even drinks with cane sugar taste too sweet and coying to me.

To misquote Billy Crystal, I'd rather eat LINT than drink Pepsi!! :-P
