Pepsi with Real Sugar

[FromEquestria2LA]

Has anybody in the United States tried this new "Pepsi with Real Sugar"? I know that pretty much all non-U.S. Pepsi drinks are made with real sugar. I like it; it goes down more smoothly than the HFCS-laced Pepsi.

I'm not in the USA, but I recall that being called Pepsi Throwback in recent times. I got to drink one whole can of it last year before it disappeared from Canada. It just seem so mild, not that that's a bad thing.

I have yet to try Pepsi with HFCS.

I did once have a can of imported Vanilla coke which had HFCS. To me that tasted way too sweet and was an attack on my teeth, lol.

Here in the US, so-called "Mexican Coke" (I presume it is actually Mexican, but it could be otherwise) is quite prized, as supposedly it uses "real" sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup. I confess to being quite ignorant of the chemical differences between HFCS and cane sugar.

They are almost chemically identical. They are both composed of fructose and glucose, but sugar has slightly more glucose and slightly less fructose, and HFCS has slightly more fructose and slightly less glucose.
Glucose is very necessary to your body. Fructose is not.

I'm afraid I only drink Coke or Pepsi with fake chemical sweeteners.
Sugar does not do good things to me.

Mmmmm.. Aspartame. Rat Cancer.

Pepsi in Canada will use real sugar sometimes when they want to sell the old formula which is only for a short time.
