Thread: New Dew

Everyone see the new dew? Throwback is the original dew recipie that was made. I tried it and loved it!

What have you guys thought?

I love that its made with real sugar instead of liquid diabetes(high fructose corn syrup)!

We don't get 'Dew over here

I have signed a petition to bring it back though!

(you can buy it from specialist american food stores, for about $5 a can!)

I love the New Dew! Unfortunately, it's only in a few stores around here that I can find. Keepin' my eyes peeled, though!

That's good to know. It would be great for any number of reasons if we could get back to a time when the first item on every ingredients list didn't have to be high-fructose corn syrup.

Excuse me guys, are we referring to Mountain Dew or is this another soda that I am unaware of?

Mountain Dew. And apparently a throwback Pepsi as well!

I heard on the radio that they are going back to sugar because the price of corn has gone up as a result of ethanol. It is more cost effective. Nothing to do with the probable 'health benefit' of sugar over high fructose corn syrup. If you can call a can of carbonated water with 8 teaspoons of sugar healthy.

This particular runs seems to be limited to about 8 weeks, starting yesterday, according to this source.

Perhaps they are testing the market and hoping people welcome the change, so that they can switch from corn? I dunno...

I hope they switch permanently! I like the taste of the real sugar better. And to JimmyHAD... You don't know who your talkin' to! I'm a DEW maniac!!! It is the healthiest drink in the universe. It was the liquid that allowed life to prosper on this earth. The ONE necessary ingredient on this planet! Without DEW there would be only fail........

I don't know this soda you are talking about because none of those fancy/strange sodas reaches this side of the pond... I guess the sink or something...
But aren't you just fed up with the corporations treating everybody like children? I mean... sugar is bad for you, right. High fructose mumbo-jumbo is bad for you. A soda is, in fact, bad for you... so, don't drink it!! If you want an healthy beverage, drink water. If you're not drinking water, let's assume you are responsible and know what you are doing. But, oh, the kids! The parents should educate them. That's it! End of pointless rant!
