Throwback
My wife and I got a nice surprise yesterday as we were selecting drinks and snacks for our upcoming road trip. It seems that real sugar is finding it's way back into soft drinks, for the first time in years. I didn't realize this, but pops like Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and others had been using corn syrup in their recipes instead of sugar. For a variety of reasons, they're now all switching back to sugar, which tastes better and is healthier anyway. They're calling these "new" flavors "Throwback". We got a couple and tried them, and I can't believe how good they taste. I didn't think I liked cola; now I know better. I hope this trend is permanent and not just a short-term marketing thing; if that's the case we may have to stock up on the good stuff.
