Yes, you can find them in the shop called 'CORA'. They sell regular (or let's say 'original') Dr Pepper. It's the best one of course BUT ... unfortunately too much sugar in it (same problem with Coke in fact)! So when it's possible I'm trying to get Dr Pepper Diet... but never found it in Belgium :evil:
My wife tried to have more information about the distribution of Dr Pepper in Belgium... done by the Schweppes group in Belgium... and for some stupid reason... they don't distribute Dr Pepper in Europe, or in only few countries... and for only few shops like 'CORA' in Belgium ...and yes... no other flavor than the regular one. It's better than nothing! So in my next UK road trip, I'm gonna bring a load of Diet Pepper in my car ;D
I think it has more of an almond taste...
Yeps, it's almond taste... and sometime it reminds me 'Amaretto' ::) :P
I can organize a group-buy for Eurocade if you want 8)
OK, real pictures of the games to come ;)

My local "Carrefour Express" has Dr Pepper Zero, so someone is importing it.

To my surprise, there is a Dutch website:
http://drpepper.nl
And when I looked at the history, the 2010 page says that the distribution of Dr.Pepper is done since that year by............Coca Cola !!
Site says it's sold at almost every Supermarket here.... so maybe you should import some from here Bruno....
It also says it has 30% less sugar than "comparible drinks" (I think Coca Cola didn't want to say: Coca Cola right there ;)
(sorry to go off topic)....

last offtopic reply,
Thats why i was asking if they sell it in belgium,
i know bruno likes dr pepper, and i know in almost every supermaket here they sell it, so i thought i will buy a bottle for him here and give that at eurocade, but i think i need to visit burgerking instead now ;D
-
You're gonna hate me... but I usually have 8-10 cans of Coke/Dr.Pepper a day... Hope I don't have kidney failure... LOL ;D
Better to be addicted to this than alchohol or drugs/ cigarettes.
-
Mmmm thinking about it, i'll get some before the supermarket closes, BIG roadtrip ahead tomorrow. ;D

Hell yeah! Make reserve for Eurocade? :P
Naaa! Don't buy big bottles, only cans or small bottles less than 0,5L or you'll lose the taste too fast :)

I was reading Peter Pepper, don't know why.... well, I know why, just received a Mattel Burger Time LCD game lately.

I'm back from shopping in Luxembourg ... this is a great day!!! :arrow: Dr Pepper ZERO is now available in the Auchan kirchberg at Luxembourg!

Of course, you need the can version for your collection ;)

A few weeks ago I accidently stumbled across Dr Pepper in a big beverage shop and out of curiosity bought a can. OMG, how can you guys drink this stuff and still be alive? ;D
-
Its delicious ! :-* ;D
-
Its delicious ! :-* ;D
That's what I was hoping! But I got horribly disappointed :o :P ;D The can is still lying around on the dashboard of my car, I don't dare to touch it again to throw it away. ;D

I just finished a discussion with the representatives of Dr.Pepper in Hungary, they want us to be the hungarian distributor of the product.They informed me, that they produce the stuff in Poland for the European market. ???
Can you check yours to verify if it is imported from the U.S. or it is the same polish product?
-
FYI the cans from UK were "canned in GB under authority of DP beverages limited by coca-cola enterprises ltd, uxbridge ub8 1ez".

Same for the ZERO bottles :arrow:

COCA COLA entreprises.... Strange... during all these years, when I was asking at all beverages shops why they didn't have any Dr Pepper for sale, they told me Dr Pepper was a part of the schweppes group, and so they didn't imported it in Europe ???
Anyway, things change and now... it's available... at least in Luxembourg! :-* :-* :-*
-
See on the regular can I use to buy in Belgium :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum2/drpepper_zero3.jpg)
Not COCA COLA but S.A. Orangina SCHWEPPES Belgium NV.
It's not really clear ??? Several companies have the right to distribute it ? Ah yes, probably COCA COLA for the countries outside Europe like UK, for the rest it's SCHWEPPES so?
-
Schweepes belongs to Pepsi in Hungary, interesting. ???
-
It says "bottled" & "Canned" under the authority
does that not just mean that is only put in the can / bottle under the authority of one of the two ?
so that the actual product is from a 3th supplier ? (dr pepper/seven up)
this pic is taken from the nl website:
EDIT:
This explanes it all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper)
Manufacturer:
1. Dr Pepper Snapple Group (formerly Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages; previously Dr Pepper/Seven Up)
2. The Coca-Cola Company (Europe only)

I've been at the local flohmarkt this weekend and had to realize that Dr. Pepper is "american cola". ;D ;D ;D
