Any chance yours still has cane sugar rather than corn syrup in it?




I bought my Mom some Pepsi throwback (made with cane sugar). She complained and said she likes the regular high fructose corn syrup version better because it is sweeter.

I personally much prefer the throwback version if I'm going to drink a regular soda because that is the way they tasted before I went to diet soft drinks.

I'm pretty sure I go a bit of a sugar/caffeine buzz off of Mountain Dew Throwback, or maybe that was a "Not Your Father's Mountain Ale", its a little blurry now.

Mountain Dew throwback is awesome. I have a 12 pack in the garage now. My Safeway also often has the Dr. Pepper throwback. What is great is they are the same price as the regular, unlike the Mexican sugar Coke.

Edit: reminds me, I've never tried one of those Not your father's Root Beers. I need to get one.

Whoa, really? I haven't seen the Dr. Pepper ones in ages. Can you PM me the Safeway that has them? Haha.

Had a lil debate w my co-worker bout new sports car vs old sports car. He claim all the new sports car are always faster than old sports car. I said, that's not always the case. Example F40 vs F50 is a good one. F40 is fast around the track and beat F50 any time of the week. Vs co-worker put M3, E30 vs F80, F80 is 4 secs faster 0-60 than E30. (not sure how accurate that is, but that's what he claims)

What do you guys think?

I've picked it up at both Branham & Ross, and Union & Los Gatos Almaden stores. Real hit and miss however.

Well, from my personal experience, my last sports car is faster than my first sports car. However, that don't mean it's any more fun -

So one of my teammates at work pretty much had a mental breakdown type event after our weekly team meeting.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, my location (three of us) hung up on the other part of the team right before she exploded.

But she started basically yelling at me and my other teammate, slammed her laptop on the table, slammed its screen down, threw her plate with trash on it so everything scattered on the table and floor, and ended up storming out.

And we were supposed to work together on something that nobody else on the team has experience with.

So I ended up leaving yesterday since she was nowhere to be found, and today she's barely responding about working on it.

Yikes.

The cars may have gotten faster, but I've gotten slower, so I guess it evens out.
