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.
