Taste the Past - Pepsi Throwback Giveaway
-- This giveaway is now closed --
Have you heard that Pepsi is offering a taste of the past? For 8 weeks only, starting April 20th, Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback will be available nationwide. These products, inspired by the 60's and 70's, are sweetened with natural sugar (instead of the usual high fructose corn syrup) and come in 20-oz retro designed single-serve bottles and 12-pack cans. I really love the look of those Pepsi cans! Look for them in your local store.
Now, for the exciting part: One lucky reader will win this Pepsi Throwback Pack!
The pack is valued at $150 and includes:
- Pepsi Throwback Trucker Cap
- Retro Pepsi Tin Lunch Box
- Retro Clock Radio/CD Player
- USB Lava Lamp
- Pepsi Throwback & Mountain Dew Throwback
I just had to use that background! Far Out, isn't it? You can learn all about Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback, as well as get some great blog and twitter backgrounds, computer desktops, and even learn some 70's slang at the Throwback Hub.

I didn't have a lunch box, I brown bagged it. So my favorite song probably "Aquarius" which they played to skaters on ice. Beautiful show. Also the Jesus Christ Superstar musical the songs always remind me of the play.

My favorite lunchbox (I got a new one every year) was my Wuzzles lunchbox! Super awesome cartoon, and it had the best thermos, the cartoons wrapper all the way around and the pictures told a little story! You knew the afternoon would go well when your lunch had a twix in it!! Yum!
I always got Bologna in my lunch box not sure if I spelled it right. Those were good sandwhiches. I loved the beach Boys songs playing in the house. Surfing was our favorite. We lived by the beach growing up and roller skates was the big thing and Bee Gee's!!! As a kid I browned bag it!

We brown bagged it and my favorite lunch was bologna with ketchup,a banana and my moms homemade cookies.
The song that brings back memories was my favorite in high school Instant Karma. Thank you!
I had a scooby doo lunch box. It was usually a pb&j or bologna sandwich, snacks were fruit.

I sipped one sip from my son's Mountain Dew Throwback, and liked it!
PB & J! And I had a blue lunch bag

The ever beautiful and powerful Wonder Woman was on my lunch box. I still have it too.
I have already tried the Pepsi and it's wonderful. Too bad it won't stay long.
I never took a lunchbox to school; I always at the school lunch. One song that brings back memories is Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice.

I didn't have a lunchbox, but I did love "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" from Cyndi Lauper - always reminds me of being a little kid!
I've tried the Pepsi, and it's quite good!
Oops! I commented follower but you aren't counting that so I deleted it. I'm also a subscriber, though, so this one will! :)
The partridge family was on my lunch box. And " I think I love you!" by David Cassidy is the song that brings me back!

I've tried the Pepsi Throwback and I like it it doesn't taste like it has a lot of sugar....

I had many favorites, like my mickey mouse school bus and partridge family. But my favorite is still my 'welcome back, kotter' one. I still have it and the partridge family one. My kids had cool star wars ones. Of course, as I hit middle school these were replaced by the ever more cool paper bag. :(
Okay, I found the Throwback Pepsi yesterday and bought 15 12pks. I really like the taste. Will buy more before its gone.

my lunch box has gizmo on it in a pink car and a song that brings back memories is My Girl since my sister and I always would sing it together growing up.

I wasn't allowed to take my lunch to school. My mom wouldn't let me. I know, right?
But if I could have had a little lunch box, and believe me I dreamed about it all the time, it would have been snoopy.
I would have taken tuna sandwiches and ham sandwiches with fruit and celery. I would have alawys tried to take something sweet, too. Maybe even lots of sweets. Maybe that is why I could not take a lunch box. My mom always said she wanted me to eat a hot lunch. She didn't have to eat school lunches, that's why!

Oh my gosh! Have I tried Pepsi Throwback???
LOOK at this:
http://ifyoucouldseewhatisee.blogspot.com/2009/05/catch-that-pepsi-feeling.html
Seriously... look at it.
It doesn't have the odd aftertaste Pepsi with HFCS has. Hooray for Throwback! I wish they would keep it out forever.
My lunchbox was sadly plastic and had the Muppet Babies on it. My friend had a Knight Rider lunchbox that was so very awesome. My mom would freeze 7up in a tiny cup with a top, so I'd have slightly-melted 7up slushy for lunch. Unfortunately, I'd also wind up with a soggy sandwich coz of it.
I had a pink,plastic Strawberry shortcake lunchbox and I always had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a chocolate milk, and a fruit roll up. Maybe some cookies if I was good the night before!

The lunchbok I remember taking to school had a purple swirly design. That's all I can remember. I used to take peanut butter & honey sandwiches, my mom's homemade peanut butter cookies and chips. Thank you for the entry.

I had a strawberry shortcake lunchbox. It was cute.
I never got the chance to carry a lunch box because I went to a Catholic Private school and was at the mercy of the Nuns who did all of the cooking :) My favorite music was from the Bee Gees and favorite song of all time was a one hit wonder from Soft Cell- Tainted Love

I had a Bonanza lunchbox and my favorite lunch was peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I saw my old lunchbox recently....at my brother's house! He says it was his!
Thanks for the chance to win.

I have not had the chance to try this because I can't find it in my stores.

I used to take the standard cheese or peanut butter sandwich and usually chips, and a piece of fruit. Not too adventurous.

My lunchbox was "Hot Wheels". My favorite lunch was bologna sandwiches and carrot sticks filled with peanut butter.
Yes, I have tried the Pepsi and Mt. Dew Throwback! They are awesome! I can't believe I can remember the taste from so many years ago. But as soon as the stuff touched my tongue I instantly remembered. OK, I need a life :-)
My first lunchbox was Hong Kong Phooey. I loved it until the plastic handle broke. Then I got a Peanuts lunch box, and had it until it was no longer "cool" to carry one.

I tried Pepsi Throwback and found that it's WAY too sweet for me. I don't know how I liked it when I was a kid, or how I never had cavities. YIKES!

Why didn't I see this sooner? My lunchbox was Hair Bear Bunch. Hmmm... music on the bus... seems it was classic 70's rock, though I was a Disco girl! Now, my girls know all the words to most of the country songs!
I brownbagged it with sandwiches on Wonder bread.
I remember when "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" came out, and I used to sing it at the top of my lungs with my aunt who was only a year older than me.
