Nicole had asked me if I could find the Dark Berry Dr. Pepper so I looked at home and couldn’t find it but when we were in Louisiana, I found it and bought one 12 pack. When I told Nicole, I had found it, she said “I hope you bought a bunch of it!” I didn’t because I wasn’t sure I would like it but then I found it at United in Brownwood, and they had Dr. Pepper on sale so I bought two more 12 packs.
I had mentioned on here previously that I told Nicole I would not try them til I was with her .. and I didn’t. A few hours before I got to their house yesterday, I stuck two of them in the cooler so they would be cold.
Last night we opened them and tried them and we both LOVE them. I’m not sure what Dr. Pepper could do to their product that would make either of us say “No, that’s not good!” We’re both such DP lovers. How nice was it for Chad to find a wife who loves Dr. Pepper as much as his mom does?
As far as the berry flavor, it tasted sweeter and more “syrupy” than does regular DP. I just checked. Regular DP has 40 carbs and berry has 46 carbs. That’s about a week’s worth of carbs for me . . in one can. 🙁
Also, a 12 oz. can of regular DP has 150 calories and the berry DP has 160 calories.
These will be a special treat and not something I have every day!
Nicole had not been able to find the dark berry variety here but when I was at Walmart this morning . . there they were!
Those cherry Dr. Peppers are good too!

May have to try them. Guess they are competing with the vanilla orange coke!

Have you tried the OV Coke? Husband bought one of the big cartons, how ever many cans that is. Neither of us liked it at all. He said anyone that stops by has to take one and so far it’s working! I had told him to take the carton, minus one, back to the store to let the Coke company know one consumer’s opinion ! I would; he wouldn’t. I am not really a DP person but would try one.

I like the cherry D.P. Wendy’s has it. That is about the only time I drink pop. (I’m from MI)

Maybe they are spreading now. I will look for them at Food City and Kroger and see if they have them. I don’t need the sugar, either, and hate HFCS, but I will try it, anyway. I do like cherry, and it is hard to find here, too!
