    Guess I keep looking then :(

    Throwback was hell to find around here as well. Guess we're not a test area for these things.

    I need to hunt around here for some Pepsi Throwback. I've been able to find Mt. Dew Throwback pretty easily, but no luck with Pepsi so far, which sucks since I much prefer Pepsi. I'm gonna hafta look for that Dr. Pepper Heritage too.

    I saw the Dr. Peppers months ago, but not anymore. And only in single 20oz bottles, no 12 packs.

    All I got now are the Mountain Dews.

    The Dublin Peppers are always available at this one shop at Pike Place in Seattle, along with a lot of other damned fine sodas.

    ARISE, THREAD!


    So yesterday I saw Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper throwback at a few QFCs in Redmond. I don't know how prolific QFCs are, but if you've got one nearby go take a look.

    Also Mello Yello has been relaunched nationwide and is among the best lemon/lime sodas ever made.

    It's also one of the very few sodas that is good at room temperature!

    Target is the only place that has them around here.

    They aren't bad. Not as good vs. regular Dr. Pepper as Throwback was vs. regular Pepsi, but not bad.

    Didn't see it in Baltimore when at Otakon, sadly. :(

    Nationwide... I'm hoping it makes it up to Toronto, at least.

    That's because Dr. Pepper is already delicious, and Pepsi is foul.

    Yeah, I've been looking all over and haven't found any of the sugar Dr. Pepper.

    Took a long time to show up here.

    and then, by some miracle, the Throwback Pepsi and Mountain Dew reappeared, too!

    I stocked up.

    Neat, when I did my soda run last week, the store had Pepsi Throwback... wasn't like a whole display of it, just some, so I didn't know if they just somehow had some in the back up until now or not. And I don't believe they had any Mt. Dew Throwback, which is fine, since I dislike it. I miss Distortion...

    I haven't looked very hard for the cane sugar Dr. Pepper, but I haven't noticed it anywhere regardless.

    I'd like to be "that guy" and point out that there is no period in "Dr Pepper"

    You may be correct, however that's stupid. It means nothing without the period! Unless you pronounce it Der Pepper. In which case, you can go back to Germany.

    This man is correct, and my new best friend.

    There's plenty of each at the Bella Bottega QFC at least.

    I tried the throwback Dr Pepper. It was alright, but not nearly as great as the other throwback drinks. It reminds me a little bit of cream soda with the aftertaste.

    I had one the other day and found it to not be nearly as sweet as a Dublin Dr Pepper. I noticed the can didn't have "Pure Imperial Cane Sugar" on it, so maybe they used a different sugar source....

    I haven't been able to find sugar Dr. Pepper, but Costco had a whole fucking pallet of 18-can packs of Pepsi Throwback for 4.99 USD.

    This is in the St. Louis Park (western suburb to Minneapolis) Costco.

    I just picked up two 12 packs of Pepsi Throwback at the 72nd and.. uh.. whatever that street is Wal Mart here in Omaha (near NFM). It seemed to disappear from everywhere, then I'm just walking down the pop aisle in there and there's just two Throwbacks haphazardly placed on top of the pile.

    Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of places sold out of Throwback. It went fast this time around.

    Fact: Mt. Dew is the most disgusting thing known to mankind.

    However this sugar Dr. Pepper intrigues me. Is it as tasty as sugar Coke?
