Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I know that it's been a while since our original post about its release, but I finally got to try a can of Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream. Actually, I have to admit that it was the diet version, and not the regular. No matter. The soda really exceeded my expectations. I thought that it would be overly sweet, perhaps a bit cough-syrupy, but the soda was perfectly sweetened and the berry flavor wasn't overwhelming. You can definitely tell that the flavor is raspberry, though, which was a nice change from all the vanilla/cherry vanilla/ black cherry vanilla sodas going around.
Overall? I thought it was great and I'm glad I opted for the 12-pack instead of a single bottle. It means that I don't have to go back out to the store so I can have another one.

I actually saw the regular version when I was buying mine at Target, so I'm sure they'll be available soon.

I can't comment on the non-diet version as I've converted to diet sodas (though regular DP was my staple for years), but I love this stuff. I find the diet-DP (this in particular) doesn't leave a bad after taste in my mouth like diet-Coke, but it's quite pleasent. I'm on my thrid or so frige pack, haven't gotten tired of it yet!

Jason - I agree that the packaging is bad. The non-diet is slightly more appealing, but still...
