Tried Mountain Dew throwback (from Walmart). Made with sugar, instead of high fructose corn syrup. Tastes the same to me. I might taste the tiniest difference, but not enough to care.

Shouldn’t it be healthier? Technically…
I haven’t seen any conclusive proof that high fructose corn syrup is much worse than sugar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup#Health_effects
Even if they replaced all HFCS with sugar, we Americans still consume way too much sweet stuff.
