I hereby declare the my pop of choice will henceforth be known as SIERRA MIST NATURAL

Just got back from the Meijers. It's the ONLY non-diet pop in the pop aisle WITHOUT the dreaded HFCS.

I predict that is will always be hard to find, right before it gets stocked of the week.

1. Look for Pepsi Throwback or Mountain Dew Throwback

Those are made with real sugar, too.

4. Pepsi announced they're bringing them back "permanently"

Rather, they'll keep making them as long as people keep buying.

I love it!

6. As opposed to SIERRA MISTER NATURAL?

Which, as I recall, is a whole 'nother animal.

7. Didn't really care for the Sierra Mist

I applaud them for going with sugar instead of HFCS, but I always thought it tasted like watered down 7-UP. I was hoping there would be an actual sugar 7-UP release, since they are the same company as Dr. Pepper, and there's been a couple releases of that brand in sugar already.

:thumbsup:

I also drink Pepsi Throwback when I can find it. I don't think HFCS is totally avoidable, but the natural soda tastes better to me.

10. Yes because regular sugar is so much better for you

NOT! You know, HFCS has the same calorie count as sugar. Unless you think they make it in an alternate universe where the rules of biology and physics don't apply.
I can see how the pop industry has already taken advantage of the ignorance of the American Public. But hey I guess you can feel happy about drinking your sugar cane loded pop while you get Diabetes 2. At least you got it from REAL sugar.
:banghead:
Anyone who thinks that HFCS is not the exact same as sugar when it comes to nutrition is ignorant of freshman biology.

11. Well, that's all debatable..

However, what isn't debatable is the fact that HFCS makes stuff taste like CRAP.

I like my calories to be better tastier indeed.
