Throwback
Quick Background:
After 3 months in Canada, my coworker and I were quickly sick of the high prices at the cafeteria at work, especially $1.49 per 20oz soda. We had free soda in a break room fridge but that was cut with the economy except for free coffee. So we decided to take matters in our own hands and bought a $75 mini fridge from Wal Mart.
I made the purchase and he is slowly repaying me by stocking cases until we are even.
Today he found some Mountain Dew Throwback, the Pepsi line from 20+ years ago using pure sugar.
Literally during my first sip, I had a flashback to when I was young. Growing up, we never really had Mountain Dew. But I remember specifically having it while staying on my Dad's sailboat for the weekend. It was probably left over from a Guy's weekend. But I remember it tasting so good. I had recently been wondering why it doesn't taste as good I had remembered. It must have been changing all of the formulas to Fructose to save money (see Modern Marvels Sugar).
But it reminded me of all the wonderful sights and sounds of staying on the boat.
Certainly a Throwback.
Try it!
