I don't see how there would be a Dr Pepper Throwback, considering Dr Pepper isn't a Pepsico product. However there have been rumors here back like 2-3 years ago that Pepper would try a cane-sugar limited edition at some point. I don't think it went past test-markets though.

Now as for Pepsi, saw a mention of the next Throwback in my Pepsi Cola Collector's Club newsletter the other day, and looks like they will be using the white-background/70's-80's square-E logo for Pepsi this time around on the cans.

The glass-bottled Dr Pepper produced in West Jefferson, NC is made with cane sugar. I guess you could consider that "Throwback."

Dug up the threads from the past I was remembering about sugar-Pepper:

I'm pretty sure that there will indeed be a Dr. Pepper "throwback" type beverage coming out about the same time as the Dew/Pepsi Throwback. I believe it's called Dr. Pepper Heritage.

I guess I must be in a test market. I have been able to buy cane sugar pepper for the better part of 4 years now. I happen to be enjoying one as I type.

You lucky dog. LMAO

That's kind of a long time for a test market. That's just Temple Pepper right? I'm thinking they got extended distribution on that variant due to regional popularity.

Yes it is just temple pepper. I was just trying to get to zabe about it and it worked. haha
temple pepper is available about 20 minutes south of where I live so about once a month I shoot down there and pick up a case or so. there really isn't a whole lot of difference in taste but you can taste the difference. There was the limited release of the 16 oz "doc" cans a year or so ago that went away pretty quick.

Down here in Houston we have Dr. Pepper with real cane sugar all over the place. It's a great thing.
