Pepsico - under their Pepsi™ soft drink brand name - has become a recent - and arguably the most high profile of the participants in the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) conspiracy.

In a move of what could only have been calculated brilliance [at least from standpoint of that portion of the the US market segment which are not either a) actively engaged as members of some sort of bizarre suicide cult, or b) members of Al Qaeda)]: 

Pepsico™ have announced that they will [for a "limited time" - WtF is up with that?] make available in their US markets a version of Pepsi tagged "Throwback" which is made with - wait for it: "Natural Sugar". As in: "No High Fructose Corn Syrup".

I tried some when I saw it in the local convenience store last week - very tasty, much more like what we (those of who are old enough) remember as a "fountain coke" taste. Good job, Pepsico. Somebody listening to the consumers, there, at least "for a limited time".

I'll buy a case as soon as my food stamps re-up. ;)
