I didn't even know it existed. I grabbed a bottle of Dr Pepper at the "Roach Coach" (food & drink truck) that comes around to an auction I regularly attend, and went in to the auction. I didn't notice it was a different formula until I opened it up and took a swig. Then I actually looked at at the bottle and read the ingredients. I had always wanted to try the real sugar version they sell in Dublin, TX, but have never had the chance. I thought this was my lucky day.<br><br>It first I was slightly disappointed. The taste was definitely different, but not better, and maybe not even as good as the HFCS Dr. P. I was used to. By the time I finished the bottle though, I was liking it. I wanted more (for research purposes), and I wanted to find out where I could buy some. The roach coach was gone by then though. I haven't had any luck finding stores stocking it locally. I'll ask the guy where he buys his soda the next time I see him. Hi all,

If you switch to cane sugar sodas, (Mexican Coke is terrific, btw, and available at Costco) you will find that you actually drink less than you would with diet or the standard HFCS sodas. We have been lied to for years. HFCS also causes cravings for carbohydrates and actively leaches calcium from your body, but it's cheaper than sugar, so they don't care. Enjoy, whichever "regular" soda you wish, but AVAOID DIET ANYTHING AT ALL COSTS, ESPECIALLY IF IT CONTAINS ASPARTAME. Please read about it. <a href="http://dorway.com" rel="nofollow">http://dorway.com</a> Good luck to you and yours, ASPARTAME=DEATH Your taste buds have been assaulted for years with high fructose corn syrup.

I know, sugar isn't great either but at least our kidneys can handle it better. <br>I have not tried Heritage. I may look for it and try it. I am actually trying to wean myself off DP (and soda in general). People keep telling me to try diet because "diet dr. pepper tastes just like regular". uhm, yeah, if your taste buds are broken or you love that sevin dust tasting aftertaste it leaves you with. I'd rather go without. <br>Mexican coke can be found in a lot of places. In Atlanta, I can find it in grocery stores that cater to hispanics. It tastes different than the HFCS coke, but I like it better. HFCS is way worse for people than sugar. I know, sugar isn't great either but at least our kidneys can handle it better.

(I can't stand Coke/Pepsi flavor). You could say it's part of my personality too. After spending my first summer in Europe last year, I'm done with soft drinks make with HFCS. I believe there is definitely a difference, not only in taste, but also how you feel after drinking a can. That is why I'll always prefer Heritage over the other stuff. However, Dublin Dr. Pepper is the best. I'm drinking my first Heritage now, and I think Dublin is different and better. I LOVE Dr. Pepper. (I can't stand Coke/Pepsi flavor).

There's a definite difference that I don't taste in Coke in other states. If you find yourself in Cleveland, I've confirmed that the Coke here is indeed still made with real sugar.

If it is close, it'll be good to have the old flavor back again. Coke left it (flavor) in the 70's and it isn't what it used to be. The carbonation seemed better and had more bite. They are what they are and it won't change things to complain. The beginning of something is better than the end of it. Just look at Coke, Dr Pepper or anything for that matter.

I always carry a 20 oz. bottle in my purse, for chrissakes. I'm right there with you on people associating Dr. Pepper as a signature part of my personality.

We "imported" it from Dublin TX to IL all summer. The problem is shipping. WOW! It cost so much, and the UPS guy hates lugging the 50 six packs of bottles up to our house. ANYWAYS..it's well worth it. Oh, we stocked up on Pepsi Throwback, however, there is something fishy that happened since last summer...even though the can has the same exact ingredients, the flavor seems a bit off since last year. I called Pepsi and they said, "Nothing has changed at all". NOT. It is still good, but wonder what they were up to over there at Pepsi. Have not seen the DR Pepper H. anywhere here in Central IL. I will start looking for it now that I hear it's out! Also, last but not least. Why don't they make soda in glass bottles anymore???? The taste is exceptional!!
