Beverage Review: Mountain Dew Throwback

I love my Mountain Dew. Since I started working at 5:30am every day, it has become my sole mode of survival. (Well, not quite, because there is tea.) So Mountain Dew Throwback, with real sugar, sounded like it would be worth a shot.

And it is. I almost feel like it's better for me, since sugar is natural and high-fructose corn syrup isn't. It's not as fizzy, but doesn't taste flat, and tastes perhaps a little more citrus-y.

The one thing I'm not too sure about is the after-taste. The pop feels like it coats the throat a little bit, and the taste stays there.

But the cans are cute, with a hillbilly on them (though apparently there are some out there that just look like cans from Piggly-Wiggly), and it's nice to have a little different flavor once in awhile. I'd say you should try it.
