For decades now, we've been obsessed with low-fat, non-fat, half-fat, sugar-free- whatever it takes to get our sweet fix and spare our waistlines. But what we're losing in fat, we're making up for in chemicals, like the reportedly cancer-causing artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup.
Many nutritionists agree, the best resolution is to give up the fizzy stuff cold turkey. But let's face it: that's not gonna happen anytime soon. We are a nation of soda drinkers. Pepsi is taking one step that might reduce our chances of long-term illness from chemical-laden beverages though, and introducing Throwback, a version of popular sodas that are made with - get this: real, actual sugar.
For now, you'll only be able to experience the soda flashback with Mountain Dew and Pepsi, but we're sure they'll introduce more variety if they prove to be popular.
One consumer described the natural-sugar experience:
- The first thing I noticed was how smooth the carbonated soda went down. It's not nearly as harsh as the standard type and I'm sure peeps who aren't avid Mountain Dew drinkers will appreciate the difference.
Also, the aftertaste. It's more natural and clean. Hell, even my burps taste different. I LOVE IT."
If this sounds like something you'd like to try, go for it, the sodas have already been released. Be sure to let us know how it 'goes down.' If you've tried it already, tell us how it was in the comments!
