Pepsi Throwback
Back on March 31st,
I posted about High Fructose Corn Syrup and the powerful lobby that keeps it in our food and keeps sugar out. In that post, I mentioned that
Pepsi announced that they were issuing Pepsi Cola and Mountain Dew in Sugar formulations. Being an avid Dew fan, I eagerly anticipated this.
They arrived in our store today and Good God, that stuff is tasty. The difference is like night and day -- this is Mt. Dew the way it once was and should have remained all along.
From the label:
- Carbonated Water
- Sugar
- Citric Acid
- Natural and Artificial Flavor
- Sodium Benzoate
- Caffeine
- Gum Arabic
- Brominated Vegetable Oil
- Yellow 5
Sodium Benzoate is a well known (and safe) food preservative.
The Gum Arabic and Vegetable Oil are there for mouth feel.
Used to be a Coke drinker but not any more... I will be trying the new Pepsi Cola Throwback when I am in a Cola mood.
