Throwback = Lovely!
I’ve missed my Mountain Dew a lot lately.
As I mentioned in my post on High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), we are boycotting Pespi products doubly.
Well, the morality boycott goes on, but I was out and about with a migraine coming on, and I had to have caffeine. I decided to at least salvage the health issue, and I grabbed a Mountain Dew Throwback. It’s sweetened with…
(*gasp*)
sugar.
And it is… simply delightful!
Wolf says it tastes like the Mountain Dew he remembers from his childhood. (Never much of a soda drinker, I don’t have that association).
It is unquestionably better tasting than the mainstream sodas today sweetened with “glop” (our nickname for HFCS)!
Why are we – societally – tolerating something that tastes second-rate, whether or not you agree with the health concerns?
We’re content, as a rule, with our Winn-Dixie Naturals and Whole Food sodas (all sugar sweetened)… But there’s just nothing else to compare with the flavor and caffeine jolt of a Mountain Dew.
