If you're like me and love all things retro, you are going to love Pepsi's new Throwback look and taste. This spring, Pepsi and Mountain Dew are inviting consumers on a nostalgic trip back in time by offering special retro versions of the two beverages.
Not only is the packaging retro cool, but the beverages themselves are sweetened with natural sugar, just like they were in the 60's and 70's. Now you can get a "taste of the past" when you try Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback!
"As we revamp our brand with our 'refresh everything' campaign, we want to give a nod to the fun things of the past," said Anamaria Irazabal, director of marketing, Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages. "For some it will be a trip down memory lane, but for others it will be a chance to experience a new twist on their favorite brands."
Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback will be available nationwide for about seven more weeks and are available in 20-ounce, single-serve bottles and 12-pack cans.
Visit PepsiThrowbackHub.com for cool desktop threads, tools for giving your blog a throwback look, and more!
To help celebrate the throwback campaign, Pepsi is giving away a fun package (pictured above) of retro goodies to one lucky reader of So a Blonde Walks Into a Review. The winner will receive:

I like the sugar instead of HFCS. Too bad it's only for a limited time
love they do stuff like this and bet they find more people want the old taste and will keep it

Why do I like diet Pepsi better than diet Coke and Regular Coke better than Pepsi?
I love that they have a caffeine-free version!

I love the taste of Pepsi, but I also like the history. The small town my Dad grew up in was apparently too small for Coke to deal with. They called all pop "Pepsi".
I much prefer Pepsi over coke.
i love diet wild cherry pepsi, i drank some today
Whatever Pepsi puts in their sugary bubbly drink, that flavor seems to taste better than Coca Cola.
I love that Pepsi is so much a part of my past- of my childhood.
I remember the Pepsi party packs they used to give out to all children turning six years old.
Boy, I loved that!

The thing I love about Pepsi is the taste, of course.
Pepsi in the 70s, with real sugar was so darn good. I am tickled pink they are bringing it back. What a fantastic idea! Go Pepsi!
I don't like Pepsi personally, but my brother loves them.

I love pepsi! For one I love cola, and it has a great cola taste. Another reason is it's one of those drinks you can depend on because it's a favorite. =)

I have a lifelong history with Pepsi, as my grandfather worked for a local Pepsi bottling plant. We always had Pepsi in the house (I remember those 70's green bottles!). To this day, I'm a Pepsi girl!

Sometimes nothing tastes better than an icy cold glass of Pepsi. Especially after a night of drinking. :)
I drink it everyday. I'm addicted
My husband will ONLY drink Pepsi products. Nothing like a cold pepsi on a hot day (or cold day for that matter!!)

Pepsi has been my favorite since I was little. I took the Pepsi challange a few years back and was able to pick it out immediately!
As a kid growing up in Calif, I miss Pepsi in the 16 oz returnable bottle. It was one of those memories of a product that I can't forget. Now I tend to like a Wild Cherry Pepsi here and there, and the Vanilla Pepsi is not bad, either.
I always drink Pepsi and I love the retro lunchbox and lava lamp.
THE "WAKE UP" THAT MT. DEW GIVES ME
i cant find this in the store boo hoo!! ive looked everywhere and i want to try this sooooo bad. im a pepsi drinker from way back, my father was a diabetic and that all we had at our house.

Back in 1971 when I was very small, I had Mountain Dew for the first time on vacation. It was amazing. They didn't sell it where I lived until many years later and it was never quite the same. I can't wait to try the throwback and see if it is the same taste that I remember.
When I met my husband my friends called him 'Pepsi' because in my favorite picture of him, he was holding a little glass bottle of Pepsi. So I love my husband the most about Pepsi.
Yeah, I have been strange for a while now.

I love the cold fizziness of Pepsi tickling my throat on a hot summer day. Can't beat it! I cannot wait to have Pepsi and Mountain Dew with real sugar again!
I love Pepsi -- so much better than the second place cola! I loved the Pepsi with lemon in the 1970s, and now I'm a die hard diet pepsi drinker.
Its a Local NC Drink :)

Pepsi throws me back to 30+ years. My mom was an addicted (still is!) Pepsi drinker. I can remember hauling those 8-pack tall bottles of Pepsi in the cardboard holder into the house on each grocery shopping trip. Mom was the only one that could open a Pepsi, but if she sat it down it was gone because me and my sisters would sneak sips of it. Good memories. I can also remember the fat bottles with the styrofoam around them, after you drank the pop you would slowly pull the strofoam down 1/2 way off the bottle than slam it for a loud pop (like a bag). I've also been around long enough to remember pull tabs, we would go camping and so much pop would be drank we could make jump ropes, necklaces, you name it out of curling one tab around the other. Doesn't take much to amuse little kids does it? LOL. Thank you for the chance. I am looking forward to trying the new (old) Pepsi throwback.
I love the taste of Mountain Dew, have since it came out. Only difference now is I drink Diet Dew

I love Pepsi. I've been drinking it since I was a kid. I love the taste.
Beyond the great taste of Pepsi products, I'm especially fond of the two options that give me a much-needed burst in caffeine in the middle of my work day: Diet Pepsi Max and Mountain Dew, both of which got me through college and grad school as well! This is such a cool giveaway - thanks for the chance to win!

There was quite a while "back in the day" when Mountain Dew was THE caffeine source of Choice!!
Diet Mountain Dew Code Red -- sometimes hard to find, I suspect because it disappears off the shelves. Guilty, your Honor!
Pepsi is my favorite soda drink because it's not too sweet and refreshing!
Coke is too sweet, Pepsi is just right!

I think it's amazing how many products they make in addition to pepsi. They even make my old favorite Munchos chips!
My favorite thing about Pepsi products is the taste. Love the taste of Mtn. Dew, there is nothing else like it.
What a fun prize package! We are big fans of Pepsi in our house. I love the idea of a pepsi throwback :-)
I love Pepsi. It has a much cleaner, crisper taste than most cola products.

I love Pepsi because it brings back so many childhood memories of picnics - my parents always brought along those cold frost pepsi bottles
Really, I just love the taste of Pepsi. Pepsi over Coke any day!~
Diet Pepsi is probably my favorite thing about Pepsi - but I love the retro look to all of this. And my husband is clearly addicted to Mountain Dew.
I like the caffeine content in Mountain Dew.

Pepsi products have a softer mouth feel than Coke. All Coke products are harsh and acidic and make me hiccup immediately after swallowing.
I love the Great taste of Pepsi and the fizz the drink has, need the fizz that's for sure. skyxsky27[at]gmail.com
