Passover Coke - Pepsi Throwback - Mountain Dew Throwback

During Passover, the Coca-Cola and Pepsi bottling companies release a Kosher version of their soft drinks made with sucrose aka sugar instead of corn syrup. If you're pre-1990's like I am, I'm sure you'll remember most if not all soft drinks had sugar instead of corn syrup. The change was supposedly made because of the rising cost of sugar. As of late, there's been a soda resurgence where Coke and/or Pepsi has been imported from Mexico because they are made with sugar. In Miami, all you have to do is look around at all the ethnic mom n' pop restaurants to find them. Pepsi has now taken it one step further and will be releasing Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback made with sugar.

Although I am not a fan of Pepsi, I will be buying some as soon as it's available. During the 80's I was a big fan of Pepsi but at some point I converted to Coke, but no one really needs to know that.

Coke, baby! Yeah!
Hopefully they will follow suit and I can quit buying the $1.79 bottles of Mexican Coke. And I love that they are in glass. I cant even drink pop from a can anymore. The aluminum is supposedly "lined" to prevent leeching...but give me a blind taste test and I will be able to pick the aluminum can version 100 times out of 100.
