Been there done that honey.

As I recall a few other bottlers still make Dr. Pepper with pure cane sugar, I'd settle for any Dr. Pepper with pure cane sugar, doesn't have to be Dublin...

[angel_luv]

If I hear of any, I'll let you know. :)

Mexico

[fatsack]

why not call the HEB arsenal and see if they can tell you what locations carry it - or perhaps they could order a case for you?

[PM5K]

Well I'm not going to Mexico, but calling HEB might not be a bad idea, I know they used to carry it but I wasn't able to find it at Central Market.

Dublin Dr. Pepper FTW!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Never heard of it. I'm assuming that it's the soft drink version of Irish coffee.

It's Dr. Pepper made with pure cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, pretty much the same as the Cokes in bottles from Mexico...

[tonylongoriafan]

i drive to the hood and find those taco trucks, they have the mexico coca colas with the cane sugar...awesome!

[ashbeeigh]

If it's Mexican soda why can't you get it at some hole in the wall mexican place on the westside?

[CosmicCowboy]

BTW, I assume you guys know that the ONLY reason the US uses high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar is that the US government manipulates sugar tariffs and federal corn subsidies to artificially raise the price of natural sugars and lower the price of HFCS (by using billions of dollars of tax dollars). Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is the biggest beneficiary of these subsidies/tariffs and is a huge political contributor to both political parties.

Did you talk to anyone at Central Market? The Aresenal will probably not be able to help (they might). You really need to speak to the grocery manager (the one that orders product) at one of the stores. Central Market would be your best bet. They can get more exotic items than the regular stores. CM is run very different than the core stores.

Sam's Club carries Mexican Coke, fyi.

Actually, I've found Dublin Dr Pepper at Buc-ee's.

Cases of 12 oz cans cost $10 and cases of 8 oz. bottles run $16. The packaging and shipping are expensive, though.


Why isn’t Dublin Dr Pepper available everywhere?

The formula for Dr Pepper was created in Waco in 1885 but the first franchise agreement was not issued until 1925. Franchise agreements defined the terms under which individual bottlers could produce Dr Pepper and limited the territory where it could be sold by that bottler. Sam Houston Prim was the first person to bottle Dr Pepper, and for this reason he was given first choice on a franchise area. He chose a modest 44-mile radius. His daughter, plant heir Grace Prim Lyon, remarked many years later that he could have taken the entire state or even the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but he apparently was satisfied with the informal arrangement he had had for more than three decades. On the back of his franchise agreement, he drew a small map with Dublin at the center. He penciled in Tolar to the northeast, Desdemona and Carbon to the west, Comanche to the south, Lamkin and Fairy to the east and Iredell to the north, officially claiming the same area he had considered his territory since he began bottling in 1891.

The legal agreement required the franchise grantee (Dublin Bottling Works) to, among other things, guarantee the quality of Dr Pepper to be pure and wholesome. It also gave the company the authority to purchase crowns and Dr Pepper syrup, while prohibiting it from producing “an imitation” Dr Pepper.

The wholesale distribution of Dr Pepper is limited to the bottler’s franchise area, which means that a bottler is not allowed (except under special circumstances) to market product in a territory that is held by another franchised Dr Pepper bottler.

so why hasn't anyone exposed this high fructose corn syrup scandal?

I never said it was Mexican soda.

Also, I have not talked to anyone at the arsenal, and I did not talk to the manager at Central Market but I obviously should have.

I'll call someone tomorrow for sure.

LOL

It's not that big of a secret. Money buys influence/favorable regulations, and Washington politicians will whore themselves for pennies on the dollar of potential corporate profits.

Heck, some of the biggest political contributors (and beneficiaries of the sugar tariffs) are right there in your backyard...
