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. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports 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.

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...
