I have cut way back on soda from years ago, and for years now only drink diet. But I still drink it. Diet Dr Pepper is my favorite Coke Zero my 2nd. There is an off brand copy of Coke's Fresca that I drink about as often as the others and it costs pennies to the major brands.I’ll stick with my Dr Pepper!![]()
Yes, I still have the aftertaste in my mouth all these years later.
"Throwback" Mountain Dew has definitely shown some staying power. Introduced in 2010 or thereabouts and now Pepsi lists it as a permanent product.
Sent from my SM-G950U using the SatelliteGuys app!It is not a Pepsi product (though in some areas it is bottled by Pepsi bottlers) Why are they listing it in any way?

At least since 1964, the other 24 years of its existence it belonged to a more private company.
Pepsi is the one that took it nation wide. I always thought it was a Pepsi product all along.At least since 1964, the other 24 years of its existence it belonged to a more private company.
Sales would be off the chart now......Coca Cola went completely cocaine free in 1929. Ya gotta be 90 or more to have been refreshed that way.
That sums it up rather well, according to my taste buds. Classic Coke may be less sweet than New Coke, but it has no jolt of anything, any more.they responded by upping the sweetness of Coke and doing away with that fantastic jolt of Coke flavor
Sent from my SM-G950U using the SatelliteGuys app!There was a fascinating book called, The Real Coke, The Real Story, that went into detail on how New Coke came to be, the responses to it by the public and Coke executives. It also had a brief history of Coke.
The bottom line, (reading the book) IMO, Coke was getting trounced by Pepsi in taste test (Pepsi challenge) and they responded by upping the sweetness of Coke and doing away with that fantastic jolt of Coke flavor. Test after test had people loving the new Coke and it beat Pepsi in taste test by a rather large margin. BUT....
They underestimated what Coke was. Not only in taste but as an American iconic product. It is really a good book.
I recall seeing a documentary about this, don't recall the name. It mentioned how well-rigged the Pepsi challenge was. The fact that it was a sip test, the results would lean toward the sweeter drink. If you had someone take a longer drink then Coke was usually favored.There was a fascinating book called, The Real Coke, The Real Story, that went into detail on how New Coke came to be, the responses to it by the public and Coke executives.

Sun Drop is the citrus competitor from Dr. Pepper/Snapple that may be bottled and distributed by Pepsi, or may be bottled and distributed by Coke depending on who is responsible for Dr. Pepper Snapple Group products in your area. As said above, Mountain Dew is one of Pepsico's oldest brands and probably the one the promote the most besides Pepsi and Lays.It is not a Pepsi product (though in some areas it is bottled by Pepsi bottlers) Why are they listing it in any way?
