Exactly my thoughts after the OP.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every soda tastes better from glass.

Pretty darn tasty.

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.

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

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)!
