my co-worker who is also a big Mt. Dew connoisseur, said the sugar Mt. Dew was smoother with less bite.
But thats kinda what I like about Mt. Dew

Went by the grocery store. Didn't see any new Pepsi or Mt. Dews on the shelf but I did see a bunch of Cokes with the yellow caps. Sure 'nuff, ingredients says "sucrose" rather than "high fructose corn syrup".

jackpot! I'm a die hard Coke guy and the only thing better is when it's fountain with sugar.

I picked up 6 12-packs of Mountain Dew Throwback yesterday, and 2 12-packs of Pepsi Throwback. also 1 2-liter bottle of Coke with the yellow cap.
I've only tried the Mountain Dew so far. it seems sweeter, and also a bit smoother, with less aftertaste.

I'm sorry if I missed it, but which are we saying is healthier?

There's been controversy for some time over health effects of high fructose corn syrup, particularly whether it has an impact on obesity beyond that of table sugar.
Wikipedia has a brick of text about it:

I just think sugar tastes better. I should arrange a blind taste test with the Pepsi stuff, since I haven't drank any Pepsi (new or old) in a long time.

I have one of the Mountain Dews open right now. The taste is noticeably different, and I vaguely remember tasting it before.
It tastes like...NOSTALGIA! mmmmmmm!

Just picked up a Yellow Cap Coke(aka Kosher Koke with Sugar Not HFCS) and it does taste much better.

Being type I Diabetic makes me want to check my blood sugar levels just reading this thread.

My type 2 is cooler than your type 1.

hmm didnt know that about the yellow caps...neat! I live in a very Jewish area so I'll have to check the Shoprite. I was also enthused about Throwback stuff, gonna pick some up. So much better than corn syrup. Candy bars too, ever notice how fucking awesome a Kit-Kat in Europe tastes compared to ours?

My friend is visiting from Tokyo. He brought me a whole selection of Kit Kats from Japan. They have strawberry, white chocolate vanilla, and even freakin potato flavored Kit Kats, all with real sugar.
