Mountain Dew is one of my illicit indulgences. I know that it’s so bad for me, but every once in a while, I just can’t resist drinking one. So when I saw this Throwback Mountain Dew made with “Real Sugar,” I knew I had to get my hands on some. After a quick online search, I drove thirty minutes to a Target that had twelve packs in stock for just over $5. The place where I first saw it was selling cans for like $2.50. Totally worth the drive because I got 12 cans for the price of 2. It’s surprisingly different from the corn syrup version—which Amaya hates. It’s lighter in flavor and sweetness and so much better. Amaya likes to pour it into a fancy glass to drink it, and I am clearly going to be headed back to Target sooner, rather than later, to get more. Sometimes a “throwback” really is better than what we can get now.
