I remember the Pepsi patch my mom sewed on my favorite jeans. I thought I was the coolest chick ever, especially because I had it memorized. It’s surprising that I can still remember it, when a moment ago I couldn’t even think of the word “parentheses,” but instead kept cupping my hands in a circle. And now, for your viewing pleasure:

My favorite 70’s memory; when I got my first real “stereo”. Compared to the stereos now, this one was a monster that took up half the wall in my bedroom. It had a turntable and an 8-track tape player. I played my “Saturday Night Fever” album on it over & over again.

Hmm, in the 60’s I was already married and a mother. Does that count as a memory? 😮
Y’know, I’m afraid that if I taste the ‘throwback’ Pepsi I’ll never be able to drink today’s Pepsi again, and it’s my favorite soft drink. But I can’t wait to buy some regardless.

In my home growing up we drank milk for dinner. Everyone…except Dad – he got Pepsi. We were only allowed to enjoy Pepsi for dinner if we were eating Hamburgers, Pizza or Taco’s. I’ve always been the quiet one of the four children in my family and I sat right beside my dad. I have a vivid memory of complete silence, mouth’s agape and all eyes on me one night while at the dinner table. You see, I had been staring longingly at Dad’s glass of ice cold Pepsi, watching those bubbles gurgle their way to the top of the glass, lost in the mist of sweet Pepsi fizz dancing above the ice cubes. While in my Pepsi trance I picked up my glass and took a long drink, never taking my eyes off of Dad’s glass. Choke, sputter, spew! Out of my mouth tumbled the milk, which was certainly not what my brain was ready to receive from my lips. I learned a valuable lesson that day – the mind is a powerful thing when it comes to tastebuds! And never, never take a drink of milk when what you really want is an ice cold glass of Pepsi!
I remember in the late 70’s what a special treat being allowed to drink Pepsi was. Every once in awhile I would get to have part of a glass bottle of Pepsi (never the full thing, the cap was put back on and it went back into the fridge for some other time). The fizz that it had is nothing like todays Pepsi.
I remember going to by Great Grandma’s house in Arkansas and having ‘Yahoo Mountain Dew’ for the first time, and I was hooked! I couldn’t find it it my home town, so I thought it was a country thing — with a man in overalls chewing on a wheat stalk it made sense to me! It’s been my favorite soda ever since, and I was so glad it finally made it nation wide. I felt like I was personally responsible for expanding its sales!

one of my favorite memories, is when I use to go visit my dad, he’d send me down the street to the laundrymat to get myself a can of Mountain Dew to drink. To this day, every time I drink a Mountain Dew, I think of my daddy.
Aah the 70s were sooo long ago.
Hand-me-down bell bottoms with funky dye jobs. I had older cousins in school. Need I say more?
I wish they kept the naturally sugared ones around all the time. {sigh}
Thanks for the giveaway! : )
I was born in the late 60s. I loved being a kid in the 70s. I remember wearing Love’s Baby Soft perfume and these gooey roll on lip glosses. Also, those lip balms that were in these little tin containers. The tops slid open and they smelled really good. LOL I remember seeing ‘Grease’ at the movies with my friends. That was fun!
ahh is it too late to enter? i wasn’t around in the 60’s but i wish i had been b/c of the music. oh to hear the beatles in their prime!!! i had to put up with Beatles impersonations growing up…so not the real thing
Oh my! I was little in the 70s… but my favorite memory would be watching Laverne on Laverne and Shirley drinking her Pepsi and Milk!
It does taste great! I remember bringing it up to my kids not that long ago and they looked at me like I was crazy. Wishing I had some Pepsi right about now. Delicious!
I will have to get some of the old Pepsi and show my girls what they missed out on!
I was born in 1980, but one of my favorite childhood memories was asking my dad to fix me a soda. For some reason, it always tasted better when he would put it on ice for me.
I am sooooooooooooo digging the retro vibe going on right now! Im a child of the 70’s and 80’s and seeing the “classics” (eek!) comeback, and being able to taste them again is so awesome. It brings me back not only mentally but almost physically to the days when I was a child, just enjoying life, where my job was to play and have fun! A time when my biggest worry was wether or not I was going to be able to go skating on Friday or if my bff was going to stay at my house or if we were staying at hers 🙂 Like Crystal Pepsi- 🙁 dont think for a second Im not stocking up!!!!!! This stuff is sooooooooooo yummmmmy! Thanks for the nostalgia Pepsi!
