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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Exactly my thoughts after the OP.

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

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?

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

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!":(
