Dr. Pepper has been planning to add other flavors of soda to its Soda
Fountain line since the release of it's Diet and Regular Cherry Vanilla Dr. Peppers in 2004. This month marks the first
release of its new flavor: Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream . The new flavors we wildly successful during test marketing and
their rollout will continue through June, at which time they should be
in stores nationally. Several packs of the new sodas are already for
sale on eBay. The official launch started when the company released several in Plano, Texas, where the
headquarters of Cadbury Schweppes, the company behind Dr. Pepper, is located.

they started selling that here in columbus, OH for a couple weeks now. it's $3 a 12 pack at Giant Eagle, I was going to go pick some up tonight to try it.
that's pretty sad, people selling that stuff on ebay. and of course, with ebay, comes huge shipping rates. then again, if people are buying, maybe i should get in on that...$1 can/bottle, + actual shipping costs...? any takers?

Wow, I'm in the boonies (Eastern Shore of VA) and I just saw it at our local Food Lion. Very suprising, we never get anything first.

Sounds yummy. But I remember being very excited to try the Cherry Vanilla flavor (yes, I'm that pathetic), getting my hands on a bottle, and discovering that it tasted exactly like... plain Dr. Pepper.
Hopefully, they'll crank up the flavor on this one.

They have it here in Nashville. It's pretty good. They also have the diet version flavored with Splenda. What a plus+++ The only downside, your burps taste like cough syrup.

I saw some when I visited my parents in Sweetwater, which is a couple hours drive from Plano. It tasted very strongly of black cherry cola. It wasn't bad, but nothing I'd want to hoard. I'm still clinging to my last few cans of Red Fusion; I'd rather they brought that back!

i heard that they sometimes test products in more isolated areas so that it can bomb without people noticing so much. (i'm from hawai'i and i was excited when we got stuff first too.)

Just saw this stuff this p.m. in a grocery store in Oakland, CA. It wasn't on the shelves there three days ago, so it is new. I confess to liking dr. pepper and diet dr. pepper and I even like the diet dr pepper cherry vanilla chemical swill every now and then, but berries and cream? I'll wait to get a single serving of that before I commit to a liter or 12-pack box.

That stuff is gross! Tastes like medicine. It definitely won't be around too long.
Dr. Pepper should bring back Red Fusion. That is way better than Berries and Cream. Personally, I still prefer the original Dr. Pepper from Dublin, TX. 10-2-4!
