I haven't had pop of any kind since the beginning of 2016.

Never really liked Dr. Pepper anyways.

Dr Pepper Falls Victim To Internet Death Hoax

As long as I have coffee/ice tea & water I'll get by.......I drink very few carbonated drinks
.....BTW What happened to Buffalo Rock Ginger ale?

I hope it doesn't go the way of RC Cola.

The soda pop industry has all taken a big hit due to the reports about how unhealthy it is. I used to drink only soda and practically no water but now I seldom drink anything but green tea. I used to get gout quite often but now I seldom ever get gout.
I am surprised to hear the DR might be the first to go because a lot of people drink it and it is probably one of the oldest brands of soda pop.
That figures someone just got their jolly's spreading a hoax. Like they say it was said on the internet so it must be true. NOT!

I call BS on that one. Dr Pepper is still just as popular here as it ever was. They sell millions of 'em. Even restaurants that carry pepsi products have Dr P because that's what customers want.
I'm a Pepper myself. Got one sittin' next to me as I type this.

Dr Pepper - Its a Southern thang.

Long ago, I listened to two older gents ( about my age now, I 'spect) talking at the auto parts store. One remarked that he preferred GMC pickups to Chevy because they put better engines in them.
That's probably the type of conversation you overheard.

My heart skipped a beat when I read the title of this thread & I hope & pray this will not happen. I would miss Dr. Pepper big time if it went away.

On a side note, I'm wondering why people posted on this thread that they don't drink pop or haven't in quite awhile...what does that have to do with the original statement or subject matter here? I have cut back quite a bit on pop myself, but I don't EVER see myself quitting it completely.

Way down at Miss State, Had a Fraterity Brother whose parents owned a bottling plant.
They bottled the Dr. And several other brands.
He would bring back cases of everything they bottled.
We would drink the free Dr. And ask that question,
Where do you get all those piss-ants?
If you read the label, that unique (funny) taste cones from prune juice.

As long as it isn't "Fresca" being eliminated, this household is safe. It's the good wife's absolute number one favorite drink and I've even gotten used to the weird, offbeat taste. It doesn't even make me sick anymore!

How can anyone drink that stuff? Cough syrup tastes better to me. Yuck! Right up there with Red Bull!

Great for kids also with the caffeine and sugar.

Rumor I hope, I like it.

Warmed up with a bit of brandy, it ain't half bad...and good for the common cold...after a few, you forget how to sneeze...

I knew a gal who drank Dr. Pepper and Scotch.
If you picked up her drink and took a sip, you took extra measures not to make that mistake again.

Back in 2002 we had a driver that came up from Texas to live and work in NY state. Why he would do such a thing I have no clue.

He absolutely loved that drink, he must have drank about 10 bottles a workday. He would throw away his trash back at our garage and it was easy to see.
