While so much of technology focuses on the latest mind-blowing innovations of the future, we’ve got a soft spot for some of those throwback products.

Everyone needs a little retro-tech in their life. When I found a 1971 Sony STR-6055 receiver, it seemed like an obvious addition to my re-entry into the world of vinyl. There’s something to be said about using equipment as old as you are.
According to BevReview.com, Pepsi is looking to cash in on consumer nostalgia for the days when soda was sweetened with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. The company is releasing an limited production run of “retro” Pepsi and Mountain Dew soda, sweetened with natural sugar as they were in the 60s and 70s. “Pepsi Throwback” and “Mountain Dew Throwback” should be available starting April 20th, and be available for around 8 weeks.
Hopefully, the retro soda will be popular enough to bring back a more permanent supply.
