The only reason I've placed Throwback in such a low tier is because of the aftertaste. Going down, it mostly tastes like the modern original flavor Dew, but I don't care for the "real sugar" aftertaste at all. I can't really explain why since I do enjoy sugar, but something about it comes off slightly disgusting for me.
There is a local breakfast joint where I live that sells cans of Throwback, but not modern Mountain Dew. I will usually order Throwback whenever I eat there since it's better than not having Dew at all, but that's pretty much the only time I drink it.
