<P> The Pepsi - Cola Made with Real Sugar , formerly called Throwback , is a brand of soft drink sold by PepsiCo in the United States and in sweet stores in South Australia for its flagship Pepsi and Mountain Dew brands . The drinks , called Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback , are named as such because they are flavored with cane sugar and beet sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup , which soft drink companies used to replace sugar ( in their North American products ) in the 1980s . In addition , these drinks use retro packaging . As of June 2014 , Pepsi Throwback has been replaced in one area of the United States by `` Pepsi - Cola Made with Real Sugar '' , a new product formulation , also made without high fructose corn syrup . </P>
