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)....

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.

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  :)
