🪦 Discontinued Dublin Dr Pepper
Dr. Pepper is by far my favorite soda, and I miss these absolutely dearly. Tasted just like the regular soda, but was just… Better. Far more deep flavor, perfect carbonation and sweetness. Truly, it was a rare treat as it was hard to find and pretty pricey when you could find it. Always got a pack on my birthday growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
The following is a brief summary about it that I’m copying from Wikipedia:
“Dublin Dr Pepper followed the original recipe, using cane sugar as the sweetener as opposed to newer high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). According to the corporate headquarters at Dr Pepper Snapple Group, the parent company of Dr Pepper, this resulted in clashes with other bottlers. On January 12, 2012, it was announced that the drink will no longer be produced, after the Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling Company settled the trademark dispute instigated by Dr Pepper Snapple Group.”
