Pepsi/Mt. Dew Throwback

[racedoll]

I just came home from the store with a 12 pack of Pepsi "Throwback" and a 12 oz bottle of it so I could try on the way home.

The "throwback", if you haven't seen it yet, has the real sugar instead of the high fructose corn syrup in it.

They have Mountain Dew too but Erik doesn't drink that and I don't generally drink any pop.

Anyone else see this or try it?

[Kaneman]

I'm drinkin' a Throwback Pepsi and Crown right now, lol. I like them, going to pick up a case of Mtn Dew and stock up on the Pepsi when I go back to the store.

[BobTheBiker]

yep. had pepsi and mountain dew throwback. its really good.

[Flexin]

Haven't tried it. I don't like drinking pop so I can't see me trying it but you never know.

I think we still have real sugar in our flex, our soda definitely tastes different than that south of the border.


The tops of the cans are sometime a different color too. I see beige tops down there, up here it looks like aluminum.

[smileyman]

I tried it and noticed the difference. I had recently switched to RC Cola and it seems closer to the 'old' pepsi. Wish they would keep it up and drop the other recipe...

I'm trying to quit soda BUT I feel the need to at least try this new/old concoction...for scientific purposes of course.

Me too. But I probly won't.

[smileyman]

I have had to slack way off after my wreck put a dent in my workouts. I usually only use them to mix drinks or as a liquid candy treat.

[Amber Lamps]

I have a few times but I always come back... It's honestly my only real vice and I'd like to eliminate it for good!

I've lost 6 lbs in the last 8 weeks by doing essentially nothing. I just cut out soda and cut way back on brewskiz.

Not me, I can't live without 5 or 6 a day! I'm thinking about energy shots to knock down the caffeine withdrawal/headaches until I can drop it completely. Replacing the sugar will be another problem entirely...

That's what I'm also hoping to achieve. I also bought a sit-up bench to help with the spare tire...

[smileyman]

I was up to 3 a day, then discovered shnapps and on the rocks...LOL!

I've gained absolutely nothing by drinking soda and not drinking brewskiz. LOL


They've finally made it to our part of the world. They've been out for some time now. I'm so used to syrup MT Dew that the throwback is too different. Not really bad but still undecided.

[Rider]

The sugar is much healthier than the High Fructose Corn Syrup. I might have to give it a try. Sugar is a funny thing. I cut out all carbs last week, I mean zero carbs and I lost 8lbs in 1 week. I also changed my weight lifting from the typical 3-4 sets of 10 reps to 4 sets of 20 reps for each exercise, 4 exercises per muscle group. Not sure if that contributed to much weight loss but I'm happy. Another week or 2 and I should be golden.

[smileyman]

More reps burns more calories. Do it too much and you'll start to lose muscle mass tho

[marko138]

Just got back from a run with the pup.

[Apoc]

Not entirely true...

Theres a lot of science behind it, but overall, the misconception that working longer burns more calories just isnt true.

Muscle mass burns calories, the more hard, dense muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn over time.

So yes, over a span of 45 minutes, you will burn more calories doing 20 rep sets, but will get almost zero actual muscle growth. Where as somebody training with lower reps with intention of building muscle (not talking bodybuilder hu8geness), will burn much, much more calories over the course of the day than the person doing the high reps.

That said, rider, switching your routine will do that to your body. Its not good to fall into the same workout for months on end. 6 weeks is about the max length you should keep one routine, as your body becomes used to it and stops growing because its accustomed to the strain your putting on your body.

Its more complicated than that, but I dont have time to go into protein synthesis and macrobolic nutrition. And you'd be bored to tears trying to read it, because you probabl;y dont care anyway.

[smileyman]

Thanks Apoc! i actually learned sumfin on the net! I think the muscle confusion seems to be the thing, and I am glad cause I get bored quick and am always confused about what I did the day before!

Yeah I'm just trying to cut up now. Probably do this for a month or so, then go back to building muscle. Right now I'm not very defined, just bulky. That's why I cut back on the carbs/sugar. As soon as I go back on carbs I'll try out this throwback Pepsi.

Listen to Apoc man, I gained 50lbs following his and 101's discussions and advice over on CF.

Thanks dudes!

Ya, if we had a fitness forum, i'd help out more over here. But I dont wanna fill Off Topic with fitness crap noone cares about.

But yes, I do know my shit. Fitness is very complicated. The more I get back into it, the more i realize how much I missed it.

[Ninjakel]

I am addicted to the throwback pepsi. It tastes better, IMO

I'll give it a try, just cause I want to see what it tastes like, but then I'm done with soda again. Water or milk only, with a few beers here and there.

Yeah, I had gained a bunch of weight several years back. Did nothing more than cut out soda and lost a lot of it real quick. Need to get my ass to the gym this time, though.

I'd be very interested in reading some of that material. Any links? Right now, I'm a fat skinny dude. 5'7, and 145 pounds, but probably 25% body fat. If I were to start working out and get the body fat down, I'd be about 125 pounds. Ideally, I'd like to be about 150, with 10-15% body fat, preferrably closer to the 10 mark. What tips do you have for me?

[CasterTroy]

I'm still trying to figure out WTF "POP" is

Dad? are you here somewhere hiding?

Did a gun go off?

:lmao:

[Rider]

A glass of pop? You want me to jerk off in a glass for you? It's soda... farmer!

[HurricaneHeather]

I can't tell the difference between coke and sprite(except the appearance) so I doubt I'll notice the difference between sugar and corn syrup. :lol:

[Homeslice]

Being in Michigan you should know :scratch:...............I grew up there, and all of us said pop. "Soda" was only spoken by East Coasters. As for Southerners, they called everything "Coke" even if it was Sprite or Mt Dew. Yeah that made sense. :scratch:

[Cutty72]

I have cut most pop out of my diet. Exception is when it is mixed into my Rum or Whiskey.

[smileyman]

I looked for a fridge pack or case of the 'Throw back Pepsi' at the store today and couldnt find any. I have only seen it by the 16 oz bottle, bummer dudes...

As for my mixing, i have just gone healthy. No coke calories for my heavy drinking, just shots of rum, vodka, shnapps both peppermint and cinnamon, or the occaisional Whiskey rocks...

[Cutty72]

I have always been told that drinking a glass of water between every drink will prevent hangovers. I tried to multi task. Whiskey waters... this is a fail. Hangover ensued.

I grew up in L.A. and we called it soda. I don't follow the "pop" culture.

Order a Jack and pop someday at the bar and watch the reaction!

I like it. Just knowing it doesn't have the HFCS makes me like it.

The HFCS seems to leave an after taste where this throwback with sugar doesn't.

Who would do that? "Pop" means any brand of pop/soda.......It doesn't mean Coke specifically. So, if someone wanted a Jack & Coke, they'd say so.......They wouldn't say Jack & Pop or Jack & Soda......

[Eeyore]

That stuff sounds really good fellas! Yum!

Someone gets it. :rockwoot: I had this conversion with a bunch of guys in Michigan a few years ago in a bar. They didn't understand it at all.

Which is why I'd like to bulk up a bit. ;)

Depends. I find that the stuff in NY and MI tastes the same as it does here, but in the southern States it tastes more like I remember it from up here when I was a kid.

[CasterTroy]

You southerner...




And damn proud of it too :rockwoot:

(you KNOW you wanna be down here too :nee: )

Pop is many different flavors/types. (dew, pepsi, coke, sprite, etc)
If you ask me for a soda, this is what you are going to get.

Then why do I have servers asking me, "What kind?" when I ask for a Coke? No, I don't mean diet or regular, because I've heard people answer "Sprite" when asked that question. At least in NY they ask me if I want a "Pop" ( pronounced "Pap") rather than thinking Coke is a generic word.

Strange, I thought only Southerners did that.

[Papa_Complex]

Strange, I thought only Southerners did that.

What, say "pap" or consider "Coke" to be a generic term like "Aspirin"?

For the record, I meant southerners doing it.

[Homeslice]

Southerners call everything "Coke"

See the map I posted earlier

Pretty retarded if you ask me, but whatever floats their boat...

[smileyman]

Yeah but thats the least of the retarded shit that goes on here so we let it slide...I mean you gotta pick your battles.

[CasterTroy]

Yeah and Kali's not know for some fucked up shit :skep:

Well of course, you're down there along with many other TWF members :)

I'd probably give this to you.

[Captain Morgan]

On the topic of "soda" or "pop," I generally say what I want. If I want a pepsi, coke, sprite, mt. dew, whatever, I call it by it's name. If I'm talking in general terms, I say soda, instead of "carbonated beverages." Funny thing is, it use to be referred to as "soda pop." People in different parts of the country shortened how they saw fit. Some say soda, some say pop. Kinda how a guy named "James Robert" might be Jimmy to some people, Jim to others, Bob to some, and Jim Bob to another group of people. It's just a nickname, it doesn't really matter. Just shows what part of the country you're from. :shrug:
