Lookie What I Found!!





I was at Pavilions (aka Safeway) yesterday, buying some Gatorade (Target stopped carrying my favorite flavor!)
when I spotted this, mixed in with the regular Dr. Pepper. There were only two 12-packs. I bought one FOR SCIENCE!
This is the elusive 'Heritage' Dr. Pepper that contains 'real sugar' instead of high fructose corn syrup.
And it looks like there will be 5 different can designs. This is the one I got:



A taste test reveals that this is smoooother than normal Dr. Pepper.
I'm not a big Dr. P drinker, so this one 12-pack will probably last me 2 months. :D
Now if only I could find some leftover Pepsi Throwback in a forgotten corner somewhere... :(
Or better yet, if Coca-Cola would stop counting its money long enough to make a Coke Throwback! :\

Hi, my name is Zrath and I have a drinking problem...

Pepsi Throwback (and Mountain Dew Throwback) seem to have become a regular item on the shelves in my area of the country. Probably because sales numbers for the product have been fairly good. Supposedly it was only "for a short time" but it might also depend on the bottling company.

As for Coke, my understanding is that the only time they muck with the formula is when making Kosher Coca-Cola for Passover.

I'll have to look for the Dr. Pepper stuff, I live where two different bottlers both distribute Dr. Pepper (one's a Coke distributor, the other is a Pepsi distributor).
