You can start by switching a portion of field corn farms to sugar cane farms.

Sure, try growing sugar cane in Michigan! Sugar beets, sure.

"Some beverage companies are also promoting their lack of HFCS. PepsiCo launched "throwback" versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew, which are essentially HFCS-free formulations in retro cans. The products proved successful, leading the company to bring them back for another eight-week run, beginning Dec. 28."

Woot. I liked the taste of Pepsi throwback.

Awesome. I don't buy a lot of shit just due to HCFS.

I do like the taste of sugar over HFCS, but eating large amounts of sugar instead of HFCS will not do anything as far as obesity is concerned.

I just had some Pepsi Throwback last night and it tastes identical to regular Pepsi. Regular Pepsi is slightly sweeter. It's yet again your minds playing tricks on you. Just like the whole Organic foods tasting better which we know is not true.

After drinking tons of Mountain Dew Throwback and organic Newman's Own lemonade, both of which contain real sugar, anything with HFCS tastes terrible.

 

[joesmoke]

your tastebuds are broken if you cant tell the difference between throwback and regular pepsi.

LMAO!

 

[FelixDeCat]

I prefer the taste of sugar over hfcs. I support this move and encourage others to follow.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Is this what the nutjobs do with their time now that they can't cry about global warming?

Living in California has a benefit. Mexican Coke is sold at Costco. It's still pretty expensive at Costco though, but at least it's available.

I've compared Pepsi and Pepsi Throwback side by side. There is a subtle but noticeable difference in the taste. They cost the same at the store so I don't know why you're hating on it.
