    If I can't get Dr Pepper, people will die, and by people I mean me...but I'm not going down alone.

    The folks at work will be the first to go, unless we run out on a weekend at which point it very well may be a family member.

    Bottles that are labeled with having "sugar" are testing negative for having any real sugar in it. That's what I referenced in my last post. The Maine-Root is organic cane sugar. That being said, it'll all give you the diabeetus the same.

    Any of you try that Dr Pepper & Cream soda? It's pretty good. Even the diet version isn't too bad. I still can't get my hands on any of the Cinnamon Coke, though. Ticks me off. I usually only drink about 10-20 or so soft drinks a year, but I really want to try the Cinnamon Coke!

    It's nice to meet other beverage enthusiasts. I really did think you were talking about cane sugar coca cola but this is even better and something I've never had. I will definitely be on the look out.

    I rarely drink soda anymore though when I did it was DrPepper. I tried the DrPepper Berry that came out a couple of years ago and it tasted like cough syrup. it was so nasty. The only soda I've had recently that I really liked is Stubborn Soda Agave Vanilla Cream Soda. That stuff is good.

    I can't believe that crap was called "Peppo" to compete with Dr Pepper. lol. (And I'm a Coca Cola fan, too).

    The Dr Pepper cream soda blend is legit.

    I like Dr Pepper more than coke but it tastes like ass when eating spicy food, which is what I live off of.

    I think I’d like to try a Dr Pepper cream soda ice cream float the next time I feel like being a fat ass.... which is quite frequent these days. Muhfuggas better restock soon.

    Nonono... you missed the nuance... it's Mexicane Cola, made using sugar from Brazil, from Portland, Maine, headquartered in Austin. :D

    Yep, I'm pretty sure you just checked off all of the millennial boxes.

    I hope that sugar is free range.

    Yes. I don't get it, are you guys all the ultimate hipsters on soda's having to be authentic? Are y'all cultural appropriation warriors?

    I like the drink, and I'm standing by it. Take that for data.

    Back in the day when we'd visit family in El Salvador or Costa Rica , circa 1993 they'd always ask if we could bring them Dr. Pepper along with Windows Sources magazines. Now we don't have enough Dr. Pepper to feed our own? A disgrace!
    I think diet Dr. Pepper is the most authentic of the diet varieties.

    I've tried the diet Dr Pepper and Cream Soda. It was pretty good, but I tired of it quickly.

    I've still got like 8 cans of cinnamon coke in my fridge. No one in my house cared for the stuff, and so it goes unconsumed.
