Do you like regular pepsi or pepsi retro more?

**yes, I know it is not called pepsi retro in english, but I can only remember the french term. Either way, I am sure pepsi and retro together are self-explanatory regardless of what the english name really is :wink: **

We don't have Pepsi Retro, or a similar name, in the UK. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Pepsi Max. I don't like any of them :)

We have all of those as well, but I have never tried Pepsi Max--is that the one with extra caffeine?

Pepsi Retro is just something that put out here quite recently, and it used to be all regular pepsi years ago. Regular pepsi today (on this side of the planet anyway) is made with high-fructose corn syrup. Pepsi Retro is made the traditional way with real sugar.

I don't drink soda/pop/soft-drinks any more.

So: voted for I've only tasted Regular Pepsi.

Here's another question: Has anyone had Regular Pepsi from different countries and noticed a difference? [Question applies to any soft-drinks as well]

I think there is a noticeable difference.

It is Throwback Pepsi here. They use cane sugar in it and it does taste different, better in my opinion. I was under the impression that Mexico and most of Europe stuck with cane sugar in their regular Pepsi formulation, so there may not be a difference for those countries.

Yes! That's it! I only remembered the French version, but now I remember the other side of the bottle said Throwback on it.

I try not to drink soda as often as I might want to, but when I indulge I prefer cherry Pepsi or Vanilla Coke.
