Mountain Dew Throwback

In early 2009, PepsiCo announced plans to release versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew with pure cane sugar as its main sweetener, and without the citric acid found in regular Pepsi, on a limited time basis.[1] The original shipment went on sale in April 2009, and ended in June. Sales were strong for both, prompting PepsiCo to release a 2nd limited batch for December 2009–February 2010.

The second batch version of Mountain Dew Throwback from December 2009 differed slightly in its formula from the first batch from April 2009, in that it now included concentrated orange juice as one of its ingredients, giving it a slightly different flavor more in common with Mountain Dew presently available.

It would appear that the formula may be different depending on when you bought it. I guess I'll give it another go, but I know when it first came out it tasted nothing like the Mexican Mountain Dew or even regular HFCS Mountain Dew for that matter.
