rmackman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Miller Lite just brought back a throwback can:Pepsi and Mountain Dew (both PepsiCo. products) did the same in 2009:Coors did throwback cans a few years ago:Any other instances of retro products? I think PepsiCo. made a mistake by putting THROWBACK on the front of it. They should have just let the original design speak for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i cant remember if these were ever used in store, but heres a couplei hated when Pepsi put that atrocious yellow banner on their throwback can. it's not even worth doing if that's the direction you're going to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i dont understand the hatred for the pepsi can, the yellow banner was added to show that it wasn't the regular pepsi but, throwback pepsi with real sugar, its not like miller and coors selling the same product just changing the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Frute Brute? The hell?Cherry-flavored cereal. It kinda tastes like the berries in Berry Berry Kix, but also kinda tastes like Chap Stick. Easily the worst of the five. Fruity Yummy Mummy, however, is freaking delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The Brute didn't exist when I was a lad. The mummy was introduced, then quickly vanished. Guess he mad a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 They brought back Fruit Brute and Mummy this year. Unfortunately, all of these are only seasonal items. I still have four boxes from when I stocked up this fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like orange creamsicles, but not in my cereal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I want to say Hershey's did the same a few years ago. Seems like I remember seeing some vintage hershey's packaging at walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaipod Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think General Mills and Kellogs have both done retro packaging for their cereals in the recent past. I really dug them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
