Mountain Dew Throwback (Rant,maybe)

[jack231]

I just went to 7-11 to buy the new Mountain Dew Throwback,and it tasted good.it went down smoothly. But I'm pissed. THE FUCKING PACKAGE SAYS MOUNTAIN DEW THROWBACK.THE KEY WORD IS THROWBACK.IT ACTUALLY SAYS "THROWBACK" ON THE BOTTLE.Why couldn't they do a "New Coke" kind of deal, where they introduce this as the new formula?

[therealanimator]

fuckin a..its rebranding mountain dew. the bastards.

[scetch00]

Pepsi-Cola Throwback is the same deal.

The word you're looking for is backwash, and I would assume it has something to do with a football contest which gets you 1 million dollars for winning.

urban dictionary description: A sudden reminder of the past. This can be brought about by hearing a song from high school, seeing an ex, puffing on a j in your old puffin spot, etc. Similar to a flashback.

Mountain Dew Throwback uses natural sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Like they used to. Thus the "throwback"

No,i like that aspect. i just don't like the fact that they labeled it as "Throwback", and not just "Mountain Dew"

Because they still have regular mountain dew.

Hes angry that it doesn't taste like any mountain due, it taste like something new, thus not making it a throwback.

Because they still have regular mountain dew.

And because they wanted you to know that it was the old Mountain Dew recipe...

Christ you're so stupid.

has anyone even seen my comment about how they could have done what Coca-Cola did with New Coke? Because that plays a fairly large part in this argument.

I must purchase this in large quantities now.

Damn... I didn't know this was here. I just made a topic asking other people if they had it in their area and if it tasted like shit.

I hate it... I think it tastes aweful. Like sour Mellow Yellow.

I keep grabbing them by accident and I really wish they'd vanish from the shelfs so I'd stop. Sure, I could take responsibility for my own actions, but that's not the American way.

Pass the blame motherfucker, pass the blame...

[scetch00]

I just bought the Pepsi-Cola Throwback.

It's pretty fucking sweet.

And I mean it. That shit is so sweet it makes your face go like those photoshops.

[YiffyKitty]

Mountain Dew is fucking gooooood.

I think he's actually angry because he wants to be angry at something and Mountain Dew was the first thing he could think of a rant (albeit short) about.

Stuff sucks anyway why bother even buying it? Its mountain dew minus the orange juice and instead has real sugar.
