Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Ok, so I just stumbled on these two the other day, Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew - I guess it's the old formulas made with real sugar instead of that HFCS **** they put in everything these days.

I'm not much of a soda guy, I probably drink less than 10 sodas or other soft drinks per year, but I bought one small bottle of each (16oz?). Tried the Mtn. Dew today, seems cleaner in finish than HFCS Mtn. Dew, but, at as few sodas per year that I drink I'm really not sure.

Any soda guys out there try this stuff? Your comments?


PS: thinking about getting a case of Heritage Dr. Pepper solely to make BBQ sauce with...

I tried one of the MD throwbacks a while back and it kinda tasted funny to me. Prolly need to try a couple more.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Haven't seen Heritage Dr Pepper but would love to get my hands on some

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Both the Throwback Mountain Dew and Pepsi are good. Can't say they are significantly better, taste a little cleaner and different but I do enjoy both of them. I had been seeing them both in cans for a few months, but just got the 20 oz. in the last month or so. I am not a big cola fan but the Pepsi is far better than Coke and comparable to Mexi-Coke. :tu

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Haven't seen these around here yet, but I really liked Throwback Pepsi. I am looking forward to these.:tu

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I had the Throwback Mt. Dew a couple months ago and was not a fan. Like the current stuff better. Now I have to hit the grocery tores looking for the Dr. Pepper and give it the Capt Morgan test.:r

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I saw the Throwback Dew a few days ago and picked up a couple 2-liters ($1 apiece.)

I really like it. It brought into pretty stark contrast how strong the corn syrup taste is in the regular stuff. I hope they keep it around.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I haven't seen it around!! Hope I do soon though.
I must say, I hope it's not a huge change. I can taste the difference between regular Mt Dew and diet and caffine free (why they did this one is beyond me!!!!!!)

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I tried the throwback Mountain Dew back over the summer and I didn't like it. I prefer the regular blend.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I tried the throwback dew this past summer and enjoyed it. It did remind me of the dew of the past compared to whats out there now. (not a big fan of dew in general). I might have Boylan's or something made with can sugar with a cigar.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Try the Pepsi, since we all know you are such a huge fan of it :D

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

:fu

Coke! :tu

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I believe the quote was something like, "I really like this pop better", whilst you were drinking Pepsi. Plenty of witnesses too. :D

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I love the Dr. Pepper throw back!

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Lies, lies I tell ya! :r

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I've never had heritage Dr. Pepper but I have had Dublin Dr. Pepper which may be the same thing. Dublin Dr. Pepper is made with pure sugar cane and is as addicting as crack!

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Anything that eliminates HFCS is OK by me. ;)

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Yep, it's that good!:tu http://http://www.dublindrpepper.com/

:tpd: :tpd: :tpd:

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I didn't like Pepsi Throwback the first time I tried it but after that it became addicting. I really want to try this Heritage Dr. Pepper though.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Thanks all.

Ok. so I wasn't the only one who thought that the Throwback Mtn, Dew was milder or less "in your face" than the current HFCS blend. Good to know.

I'm more interested in the Dr. Pepper anyway...

Mario, try Target. That's where I found these as single bottles in the refrigerated case. I have no idea if they sell cases or larger bottles, as I just noticed these by accident when grabbing a bottle of water. If I make it down to the herf this weekend at WC, I'll bring you a few bottles in the event that you can't find any.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Will do Adam and I'll keep you updated. Thanks!:tu

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I found that you can purchase Dublin Dr Pepper here. I've never used this vendor, but figured I'd pass on the link.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Mr. Pibb was better than Dr. Pepper, but they changed that recipe too.

I remember Sun Drop (for those who know this one) as more tart, but that's changed.

And then, Mountain Dew was more tart as well - is that tartness back in the throwback/heritage version?

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I tried the Pepsi Throwback and was not impressed. I still prefer Mexican Coca Cola. :tu

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Yup, IMO all the Dr. Pepper made in TX is the real stuff.
Of course, the Sugar makes a difference as well. In addition it would be really nice if ALL the drink man.s went
back to Sugar...it would help the economy.

On another throwback note, I just bought 12 decks of the old "Trips and Squeezer" card decks that I had
found very hard to get of late...something about PETA or Michael Vick or something.
You know the ones with the two chained up dogs at each other's throats???
Somebody in my office had never seen them or heard about them, but in LA, them wuz cards.
So I picked up a dozen plus a few Svengali decks for card tricks.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I drank both on my US trip, didnt like the pepsi, liked the Mountain Dew. But I didn't like the American version of Coca Cola either, European Coca Cola tastes different, much better. Asian coke sucks too.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

None of the heritage stuff is available here in Canada, love the Blu Sky Soda lines though (no HCF's and real flavoring): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__Ni_6snbU4...lueskycola.gif

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I like the throwback Mtn Dew dont like Dr Pepper at all. Now if we could just get it in glass. The local minimart had 10oz glass Mtn Dew and it did more for the flavor than anything. Wife said Pepsi was the same way, better in glass.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I've used old doc's a few years back. Ordered a case of cans from them and was happy with the transaction, hoping to order again from them. Again this was a few years back though.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Tried the Dr. Pepper, here's a short review:

Pretty darn tasty.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

:tpd:

Every soda tastes better from glass.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Haha, great review! That is the best way to describe it! I sure as hell am going to miss it for the next 4-5 months, but German beer isn't TOO bad of a replacement I guess. :r

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Exactly my thoughts after the OP.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

We have Dr. Pepper in Europe too, and a better recipe then in the US, with real sugar.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Ok, I have been to a bunch of convenient stores and grocery stores up here in MA/NH and haven't seen these yet!!!!! What's up with not stocking New England with them?

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I'm drinking a Pepsi now,it's pretty tasty.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

AH! I want that Dr.P
All I can find is the Mtn.d and Pepsi stuff.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Bought all three today. Didn't like the Dr. Pepper at all, it tasted like diet to me.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Our Wallyworld has them in 12 paks. Mama said- "You're diabetic- you don't need anything like that with sugar, no matter how 'neat' the concept might be!":(

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Those are some big claims Don! I not only live in the city that Dr. Pepper is bottled in, but also have made my pilgrimage to the Mecca of Dr. Pepper in Dublin(Texas that is)!

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I enjoyed the Mtn.Dew, Pepsi was good as well, just different because of how jacked up our taste buds are because of HFCS haha.

Used to be a HUGE Dr.Pepp guy, Lately I don't care for it, Extremely sweet... So My search is still on for the throw back, Maybe I'll have to cellar a few 12 packs ;)

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Picked up a 12er of the dr pepper at Target today.
hope it lives up to expectations.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

:tpd: Real sugar is a start, but I have no time for a cola without kola nut flavor. Once you check out a real cola, you'll recognize the big brands for what they are.

Padron is to Macanudo as real cola is to Coke and Pepsi.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Please advise as to where one can obtain cola with real kola nut flavor. I've always wanted to try some. Also, Macanudo may not be your preference but it is a real, hand made cigar. Wouldn't it be more like Padron to Swisher Sweet, etc.?

Tried Target today with no luck. I'll check out Nob Hill manana. That's where I finally found Pepsi Throwback before.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

It's not a big claim after you tasted the European recipe of Dr Pepper. You'll find out soon enough.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

Well, like the post I quoted, I recommend Blue Sky. You can find it in many "health" food sections and at co-ops. If you live near a Whole Foods, you can find my personal fave, 365 Cola. It's their house brand. It's delicious, all natural, real sugar and lots of kola nut and it's freakin' cheap, too.

At the end of the day, a good cola's still a can of sweet fizzy-water, too. Your analogy is fine, but I stand by mine. Padron and Macanudo have similar texture, size and burn characteristics. From most aesthetic angles, they're pretty much the same- but one has 10 times the flavor of the other. :D

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

"Dublin" Dr. Pepper has been around forever in Texas.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I'm not a Dr. Pepper fan (stone me ;)) but the Throwback Mt. Dew does take me back to my teen years in the 70's. We didn't have a lot of soda (watered down Kool-aid and milk--whole milk, there was no other kind!--were the beverages of choice in my house, besides my dad's Old Milwaukee cans.) So when I could ride my bike out to the 7-11 a few neighborhoods over, I'd grab a Mt. Dew and a comic book (which I wasn't supposed to have, either.) I was livin' on the edge. :banger

So, yea, I really enjoy the Throwback Mt. Dew. It tastes like that, to me.

Re: Heritage Dr. Pepper and Throwback Mtn. Dew
 

I tried the Mnt Dew today...didn't notice a difference at all. :td
