First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women

The marketing folks at Pepsi have clearly run out of ideas, they must have wasted them all getting Jimmy Fallon, Diddy, Brit Spears, Reggie Bush...etc to appear in their commercials. Now it seems that Pepsi is releasing a cola that is made with actual sugar not HFCS (or fake sugar for the unemployed out there) and calling it Pepsi Cola 'Throwback'. I guess they are trying to appeal to the 'Urban' crowd and those who start sentences with 'when I was your age' with that product title.
Like Coke Classic, just not synonymous with being mixed with Rum, Rye or Jack....
Anyway what's left at this point, we've seen Clear Pepsi, Diet, Pepsi max, new cans, new logos, that shitty Blue Pepsi that burnt your throat for days and now a Pepsi that was made like it was 50 years ago. If this Pepsi is so appealing, then why isn't it made with sugar to this day? Why did they change it? To be more fatty? Do Pepsi execs carry cards made of jerky as well? I hope that this gimmick fails as well and Pepsi just leaves the product as is and stops pretending to be anything but the redheaded stepchild of cola...
