I'm still up for them of course

"The best thing about visiting the President is the food! Now, since it was all free, and I wasn't hungry but thirsty, I must've drank me fifteen Dr. Peppers..." (click me)

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? 

[Etienne MacGyver]

Its delicious !

Its delicious !   

That's what I was hoping! But I got horribly disappointed  The can is still lying around on the dashboard of my car, I don't dare to touch it again to throw it away.

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 



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! 

[DarthNuno]

See on the regular can I use to buy in Belgium :



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.

[Etienne MacGyver]

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

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".

Something similar I've just tried  ... Diet Coke Cherry
