r/DrPepper

Check out this new video on my channel! Linked to this post.

Why does Dr. Pepper smell like lady bugs? Is there somehow a deeper connection between this cute little bug and one of my favorite sodas? Is it just me? In this video, I learn about methoxypyrazines and their role not only in nature (through the defense mechanism of the red spotted creature), but their role in wine flavors and complex soda recipes. Enjoy this wild rabbit hole!

*Friendly disclaimer: I am not an expert on this matter. This is just my understanding and connection of the dots.

For those of you who are buying Dr. Pete’s or Diet Dr. Pete’s, I think we can all agree that it’s better than having a regular cola or Pepsi, but it’s just not the same.

To that end, I am hoping if enough people request genuine Dr. Pepper syrups available in consumer packaging and include this phrase: “Please record this as a consumer product request rather than a product-availability inquiry,” then we might be able to get our genuine Dr. Pepper flavors for our SodaStreams.

Here is the link.

Which is better in your opinion taste wise?

I’m doing a little dirty soda stand and I wanna have some varieties other than the regular sodas for people who might be watching their weight or can’t have sugar for other reasons.

I tried Dr Pepper cream soda for the first time today, and smelled it before sipping. The smell immediately took my back to something girl body product I owned in early 00s but for the life of me I can’t figure out what. The smell is sweet obviously but it’s beyond that, and different from how the soda actually tastes. Can anyone help me identify what the product might actually be?

Greetings! Bumped into a neighbor tonight who told me that Dr Pepper is being discontinued. This can’t possibly be true, no?

Does anyone know where I can buy caffeine free dr pepper that's not $30 for a 12pk?

I love Dr. Pepper. I miss it.

This is real. I am an human being - male, GenX, American... I grew up drinking Dr. Pepper more than any other soda.

Whenever I dine out or grab a bite anywhere, it's the only consistent drink on the fountain or menu.

But for over a month now, none of the restaurants have any. It's on their menu and on their fountain pump dispensers, but... nothing comes out but white soda water.

Burger King, KFC, Wendy's, Popeyes, Sonic, Thornton's Gas Stations, QuickTrip Gas Stations, Speedway and 7-Eleven...

ALL SOLD OUT. They say they are not getting shipments from Dr. Pepper. They have placed orders, but received none.

Is there a contract issue or something else going on here? OVER A MONTH without Dr. pepper in restaurants and convenience stores.

Locations: all western, northern, and southern suburbs of Chicago.
