Retro in Your Pop Can

While shopping at Zehrs recently, something caught my eye that forced me into a tailspin of 80’s nostalgia. Pepsi has reintroduced its line of Throwback with the old logo in tact and real sugar recipe.

For the past few decades, high fructose corn syrup has served as Pepsi’s sweetener. But don’t let that fool you. Throwback actually has 10mg less sodium and 1g less in the sugar department when compared to today’s version of Pepsi.

Turns out the return to retro was issued in 2009, supposedly for a limited time. However, sales have been so good that Pepsi has released at least two more batches since and plans to keep going as long as it keeps selling.

The taste is slightly sweeter but very much Pepsi nonetheless. Personally, picking up a case of 12 with the old logo was good enough reason for me.
