My friends frequently rave about "Mexican Coke," or Coca Cola from Mexico made with real cane sugar. People on the Mainland regularly traffic the stuff, flocking to corner stores in random neighborhoods that import it (unofficially).
There are also kosher versions of both Coca Cola and Pepsi that seasonally come out to offer real sugar sweetening.
Now it looks like Pepsi is moving to capitalize on this niche demand on a slightly more ambitious scale. We just saw an ad for it on TV: Pepsi Throwback (and Mountain Dew Throwback) is here, made with real sugar, with limited distribution and for a limited time.
I don't expect we'd be fortunate enough to be included out here in Hawaii. But if anyone spots this stuff in the wild, let us know!
