This is not accurate. Dr Pepper has their own mass production in the south. I’ve heard its sold in other parts of the country, but still labeled Dr. Pepper.

There are a few local bottling companies (Dr Pepper Bottling in Dublin, TX and Temple Botttling in Temple, Texas, for example) that do still use cane sugar, but mass market Dr Pepper uses corn syrup just like everyone else. I used to love Dr Pepper (mass corn syrup version), but after tasting a Dublin DP, I can’t stand it.

As for you saying Dr. Pepper and Pibb are the same drink, I call bullshit. Where’s your proof?

For one, they don’t taste the same, similar in some respects, but Dr. Pepper definitely has a more distinct taste.

I second the move for officialization of “Dronk”
