The main ingredient is different.  Most sodas use High Fructose Corn syrup.  This Pepsi Throwback (and Mountain Dew) uses Cane Sugar (and Beet Sugar) which is apparently supposed to be better tasting than the corn syrup normally used.

I have not tried either throwback product and can't offer an opinion.  But if anyone drinks this I would like to know how it compares.

I'm not sure I'm down for this one.  I get the feeling that there are going to be a lot of horror films and since I don't watch that genre at all that might be difficult for me to vote.  I'm not opposed to this I'm just curious what kind of stipulations should be put in.

Is there really though?  He'd obviously have to learn AFD and CD, but they wouldn't be doing that many songs off Illusions.  Lies would probably get two at the most and they'd maybe toss in a Spaghetti Incident song or two. I going to assume that he's a skilled guitarist so why does it take him three months to learn previously recorded material?  Unless they want to bring out a whole new set of CD era tunes which would make me very happy and intrigued.

I can understand why he goes on there, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.  Honestly, I usually check out after the dreck in the first week.  The thing that really bugs me about this show is that there are a lot of talented musicians struggling out there to make it.  They play in small clubs because I think they love their craft and geniunely believe in it.  Then you have this show which is basically a glorified karaoke contest.  Most of the females have to sing in a certain style and some are selected for their personal story.  Even if you don't win you get some form of PR.
