johnnysama Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 As you know, for the past several years, Pepsi in the United States has put out a version of Pepsi with real sugar under the name "Pepsi Throwback". Well, just this last month, it was relabeled into "Pepsi w/Real Sugar". What do you think of this change?Me, I'm indifferent to this change; it still tastes much better than the Pepsi w/HFCS, no matter what label it has. But I prefer diet sodas, so I will be drinking this stuff only periodically (like today- it tastes well under the rocks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Moved this to General Design as it applies here much better than in The Lounge IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I also only drink diet, so I don't really have a horse in the race, but I kind of find the whole gimmick of this silly considering that at least around here you can readily find Mexican Coke which is the exact same concept.

Mexican/Generally Hispanic Grape Fanta. Best damn thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 sounds like the "throwback" thing wasnt working so well and now they're trying a new direction to sell the same thing. instead of an "old" pepsi its now a "new" pepsi. it also touches on a natural aspect that is huge in food markets now. no one is buying things that are "now artificially flavored!" but there is huge appeal to raw, organic, and natural.

lancealot Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Over here (aus) it's being branded as Pepsi next I think they were using the tag line "the next generation of soda" or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker52 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 i love the throwback name and taste and the new name makes no sense even if it is honest. coca cola still labels theirs in spanish and calls it mexican coke.

Pharos04 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 it's not just regular Pepsi; Wild Cherry and Vanilla Pepsi are also getting the Real Sugar treatment. The Vanilla one is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Gotta pick me up some of this a well as Baja Blast when I go to the US this weekend And I believe it's called Pepsi Next in Canada as well, but knowing our laws, it probably still isnt the same as the American Real Sugar one. Much like Mountain Dew, I don't think it passes regulations to be sold in bulk only as individual - because apparently us Canadians have no self control haha US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pepsi Next is a separate product, as far as I know. At least, Pepsi Next exists in the US, separate from Pepsi with Real Sugar.Though, internationally maybe they're one in the same.And, even though I don't care for Pepsi, the biggest win here is the return of the classic script logo.

CS85 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't know how I feel about them using the new goofy 2.0 logo with the classic script. At least they've returned to the brighter blue.
