They will still sell real-sugar Dr. Pepper but only in Texas. Why they are so hell-bent on shutting down national retail of real-sugar Dr. Pepper boggles my mind. I know I and millions of other customers would happily pay another 10 cents a can for the real thing instead of corn sludge.

from what they said on the radio yesterday, they broke the contract when they tried to sell the stuff on the internet.

And did the world a service by breaking the contract.

Their stuff is far superior to the corn sludge filled stuff the normal Dr. Pepper company sells. Why Dr. Pepper won't just start selling a real-sugar line themselves boggles my mind. It would only cost them a few cents more per can and they could mark it up double whatever their cost is and come out making MORE money.

heh, this is one of my pet peeves also. I pretty much hate soda these days because of corn syrup.

Corn syrup Coke tastes better than Coke with sugar. I don't drink Dr. Ass so I wouldn't know about that.

Never been a fan of Dr. Pepper, but then I am not a huge fan of soda in general.

Sadly corn syrup is here to stay.

The novelty drinks will be around to reminisce but the business has moved forward and without changes in raw materials/movement costs you will not see much more than this.
