Can anyone find the Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper?

I live in Michigan and can't find it ANYWHERE. And I have looked all over. Do they not make it anymore or something?

I looked in 2 stores this weekend and no-go. I'm not sure if they discontinued it or what.

I don't know if your kidding about corn or not, but just about every soda made in the U.S. uses corn syrup, actually I read somewhere that Dr. Pepper was pretty much the last large soda company to switch to corn syrup. The other thing I like about living in Texas is that it is so close to Mexico that it's pretty easy to go to stores or restaurants and buy Cokes and other sodas that are made in Mexico that do not use corn syrup

nope, not kidding. was thinking of corn on the cob and didn't make the connection. i see it now. i know they pretty much all use high fructose corn syrup.

Just backing up everyone's opinion on Dublin Dr. Pepper. I once drove all the way there just to buy some and take the tour. Order it online from time to time. Beliveve me, there is no comparison to the stuff they sell now with corn syrup.

if it's so great why don't they sell it in more places than just texas?

Because the place that makes it is tiny. And it is more expensive than the regular version.

Edit: Sorry, didn't read through the whole thread and realize everyone else pretty much answered you.

The Dr. is my favorite soft drink!

Hate to be a stickler, but there's actually no period after Dr in Dr Pepper. I say this because a lot of you have used the period after Dr in this thread.

On the official logo and in all instances where it's referenced (look on wikipedia for example, search Dr Pepper...or look on the official site...) you will see. I read somewhere the company removed the period specifically with the intentions of getting away from the medical connotation.

Edit: Just read wikipedia page, it's right on there.

I enjoyed my free Dr. Pepper from Axl Rose. Never tasted a better soda than that one.

yesterday in "Food Lion" (that's a grocery store in a small town near me) I saw diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper in two places throughout the store.

Not regular cherry vanilla DR pepper, only diet.

UPDATE!

I just ordered a 24 pack of the 12 oz cans of the cane sugar Dr Pepper from Old Doc's Soda Shop!

And...ordered some Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper from ebay!

Can't wait to try this stuff...all you Texans are fucking lucky...it's all readily available for you.

Also I saw on ebay straight up Cherry Dr Pepper...how's that?

It's a new flavor as of February 2009 (I think). I have not yet seen it my stores, but I'm hopeful that I'll get to give a taste.

Found it in the stores last week.....it gets my seal of approval. :twisted:

*Update*

The imperial cane sugar Dr Pepper from Old Doc's Soda Shop in Texas arrived here today!

I am having some right now. It is really good. I hate to compare it to regular Dr Pepper because they're both good. I can't really say I like one better than the other. The only thing I have to decide is whether or not I'm gonna keep ordering more once I run out. Think I will probably order it again but not extremely often 'cuz it would be impractical when I can get some here (albeit a slightly different kind) so easily.

bump for Dr Pepper....it's just so damn good I could marry it.

ha, and you still typed it wrong.

that's okay, i don't take anything personally. i'm comfortable with who i am.

having said that, working for Dr Pepper would be cool if the money was good.
