So in a Special Issue yesterday (3-27-07) Beverage Digest announced Cadbury is testing a version of Dr Pepper with cane sugar in 12-packs of 16-oz cans with retro image of "Ol' Doc" inside 10-2-4 clock-face. BD source spotted the product in a Springfield, MO Wal-mart. The product is separate from cane sugar sweetened DP that's been marketed in 12-oz cans by Dr Pepper plant in Dublin, TX for many years. Anyway, BD included a really lousy cell-phone picture of the can and apologized for quality of image. If anyone has a better image they can post here I'd appreciate it.

Have you seen this mention of the new Dr Pepper (with picture) over in the Cleveland sucrose thread?: <http://www.bevnet.com/bevboard/bevboard-general/30755-coca-cola-cleveland-dropped-hfcs-favor-sucrose.html#post352512>.

It's just cans at this point, isn't it? That would be a good thing if one had to stock up for a year or so. Does anyone know if this is a short-term promotion, or something longer?

Please post an update if you spot this in your area. Thanks!

Thank you for this! I had not seen it and appreciate the link. Great pic! I've got a question but will f/u over there.

The new Dr Pepper with Cane Sugar is now available at Wal-Mart's in the San Antonio, TX area. I just picked up two twelve packs of it tonight. The can includes the described graphic of ol'Doc but it also includes a short history/origin of Dr Pepper.

Wal-Mart is promoting it in the aisle between the grocery section and the rest of the store. I also spotted the new Diet Coke Plus next to the Dr Pepper stack but I decided to hold off and try that product some other time.

Guess I'll be dropping into walmart here in Kemah later today!

Someone at work had a can of dr pepper with cane sugar. They said it was $7 a 12 pack of 16 oz cans at Albertsons.

And which part of the country was this Albertsons located?

That is the going price everywhere around here as well. I have been driving 20 or so miles away and buying 12 oz cans for 8 bucks a case. I did buy 1 12pack of the 16 oz cans, good stuff but for a dollar or so more I can get 24 cans. I guess that is one advantage of living in a high per cap dr pepper area.

in the Oklahoma city area

Have also found it in Walmart in Duncan, OK and in Sooners in Tishomingo, OK. It was $7 at both locations. I bought 1 case and have had 2 cans so far. I don't know but I think I like DP with hfcs instead, but both times I have drank it straight out of the can (I usually won't drink anything straight out of the can except for an energy drink).
