I'm having a hard time finding Mr. Pibb in OKC. Specifically cans, not on tap. I know Chipotle has it on tap, but I'm trying to find cans, but will welcome info on both. I know Quick Trip in Tulsa they carry 12 pack cans. Went to OnCue here in OKC and they don't carry it. Help.

That's an ongoing question that involves a lot of politics. Ask Great Plains Bottling. And please do! If you get a chance, report back what they have to say.

I have found it in bottles at stores on the fringe areas of the metro. The Loves on Hwy 9 and I-35 carried it at one time.

Mr. Pibb is a replacement for Dr. Pepper in markets where the Coca-Cola bottler does not have the rights to manufacture Dr. Pepper.

Great Plains has a monopoly in OKC. Yes, they bottle Dr. Pepper and squash Mr. Pibb except when selling it "cheap" as a fountain substitute.

I'll say this about Great Plains (and it's being nice): They play hardball.

On a whole different subject....does anyone have anecdotal stories about price fixing? (cough) Really! Different subject! (cough)

Fazoli's on NW Expressway has Mr PiBB on tap. I believe it's not being called Mr. PiBB anymore though; think it's now PiBB Xtra.

Soda Finder : Buy Soda Here - Pibb Xtra (http://sodafinder.com/products/pibb-xtra) -- the price is pretty silly though.

Have you tried Crest or Buy For Less? They seem to carry a wider selection of "off" brands than places like WalMart or Homeland.

I saw that when I did a google search, and yes, they now call it Pibb Xtra. I'm also surprised they don't carry it at POPS.

A very poor replacement, at that! :numchucks

No way Pibb is way better than DP

Metro, Seriously...did you call Great Plains and ask where you can find Mr. Pibb (Pibb Xtra) in Oklahoma City supermarkets?

Mr. Pibb is AWFUL! I would rather drink Caffeine Free Diet Coke..... thats watered down from melted ice....with a dead fly floating on the top..

Newcastle is the closest place to OKC where you can find Pibb in bottles and cans. Pibb Xtra was created to more closely taste like Dr. Pepper. I always though "Old School" Mr. Pibb was fantastic. Very smooth and more of a cherry/fruity flavor.

While I like DP very much, if I wanted a beverage that tasted more like DP, I'd just drink DP.

Where at in Newcastle? Might have to run over there next time I'm in Norman.

This seems the obvious thing to do. I'll answer my own question^^^: I guess Metro decided to not call and find out where he can find his drink. Whatever.

I will call them, but it seems that you are just wanting to provoke me to call them so I can get some canned answer, as if you know it upsets them.

BUT, Dr. Henry Louis Gates (remember him?) and Mr. William Henry 'Bill' Gates. That dude didn't get his degree either and, well, I'd rather be him. :smile:

I'm just kiddin'....I'm a Pepper, too. Remember that jingle?

That is heresy I say!!! :poke:

Wal Mart has it. While you're there, I'd suggest you grab a couple of six packs of Dublin Dr. Pepper (only in cans last time I was there).

Thanks, will definitely do so next time I'm that way.

Gotta be sheeting me, a thread about "Mr. PIBB". LOL>>LOL>>

There are so many Dr Pepper clones out there, and thus, so many web pages out there comparing them all, that I'm not even gonna bother with trying to find the "best" one--I'll just link the first one I find and hope that it's good enough:

KIBO'S FAKE DR PEPPER ROUNDUP (http://www.kibo.com/kibofood/dr_pepper.html)

The choice for the best Dr Pepper knock-off should be fairly obvious.

(Why do you hate our basketball team, "metro"?)

Anyway, I was at Pops today and partook in their Dublin Dr Pepper as my beverage of choice, from the fountain. It was so glorious, it was almost as if I was drinking it straight from the Cup of Christ itself instead of a Styrofoam cup with a Pops logo on it.

Actually, Mr. Pibb and Pibb Xtra are NOT the same. Pibb Xtra is supposed to be a bolder version of Mr. Pibb. My wife who is crazy about Dr. Pepper does not like Mr. Pibb at all but believes Pibb Xtra to be a close approximation of Dr. Pepper. I've tried them both and am inclined to agree with her.

According to wikipedia, Pibb Xtra has cinnamon flavoring in it while Mr. Pibb does not.

Pibb Xtra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pibb_Xtra)

The Coca-Cola site also indicates that the drinks are not the same:

Coca-Cola - Brands (http://www.virtualvender.coca-cola.com/ft/detail.jsp?brand_id=221)

No one ever said they were, we distinguished the two above already, just not in as much detail. Unfortunately Mr. Pibb is no longer produced, just Xtra so it is a moot point.

I had Mr. Pibb for the first time in Houston, TX back in 2003. I thought it was the best thing in the world... I also had a Dublin DP in college. A dormmate was selling them... best cane sugar DP i've ever had.

Funny you mention this. There's a pretty good chance that 12 pack was mine. Several years ago, I was pretty heavy into selling hard to find sodas. I had my own website, and sold many cans/bottles on eBay. He and I used to trade sodas back and forth all the time. When I heard Mr. Pibb was being discontinued, I went to Newcastle, Purcell, and Chickasha and bought all the 12 packs I could find. I also bought many 20 oz bottles. (Too many, in fact, because they went flat before I could unload - sell and drink - them all.

Anyway, I used to ship him Fanta Citrus (from Texas), Mr. Pibb, Pepsi Blue (Looked like Windex), and Mello Yello Afterglow (Peach). He shipped me several products from up north, Canada in particular. I got from him sodas like Sprite Ice (mint Sprite) and 7up Tropical Splash.

He's made quite a business out of it, but I'd be shocked if anyone ever dropped 600 bones on 8 year old Mr. Pibb. Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't leaked yet.

Every once in awhile... You can get a good bottle of Braums Special that tastes similar to Mr. Pibb.

i too love the taste of pibb and have been searching for it in the central oklahoma area.
no luck. still have to go to tulsa or texas to get my fix.
i realize fountains in some restaurants have pibb on tap, but sometimes you just wanna relax in front of the tv with a ice cold pibb in hand.
thanks OP for bringing this up. i'll keep an eye on this thread even though its lookin kinda dead now.

Who would want to pay $600 on a 12 pack of Dr. Pibb?! However, I would pay $600 on a 12 pack of Red Fusion, I miss it!!!

Ohh $150 for a 12 pack on Red Fusion! AHHH, I MUST GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Pibb all the way!

ohh $150 for a 12 pack on red gusion! ahhh, i must get it!

ditto... i sorely miss dr. pepper red fusion. -M

red fusion? what was that one like?

red fusion? what was that one like?

It is a cherry drink, it is soooo good, better than Dr. Pepper!

If you liked Red Fusion, try Cheerwine if you get chance. It's widely available in the eastern and southeastern US, and in a few other places throughout the midwest.

It's basically what Dr. Pepper was aiming to emulate with Red Fusion.

So, I have not been to Pops in Arcadia yet. Would they have Mr. Pibb there?

You can get Cheerwine at several places in the metro, Pops, Market C to name two.

Radio, unfortunately Pops does not have Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra.

Dublin Dr. Pepper is on tap at Chicken Express.

Where can I get this in Tulsa now. QT doesn't carry it anymore. Preferably want 12 pk cans. Help!

Anyone?

You mean to tell me that in seven hours on a Sunday, nobody's answered this yet?!?! The hell is wrong with you people?

Actually that was part of the agreement when they took over Dr. Pepper/Seven-Up Bottling. They had to restrict their sale of Sprite and Mr. Pibb to stay in compliance with the agreement and Pepsi has distribution rights for Dr. Pepper fountain syrup/service, that is why you can get Dr. Pepper no matter what company services the fountain. I know in Denver, Dr. Pepper is distributed by Pepsi and you cannot get Dr. Pepper in a Coca-Cola serviced restaurant but you can usually get Mr. Pibb. I think the Seven-Up/Sprite terms were a bit different, for years you could not get Sprite except in the fountain in the OKC metro area but about ten years ago it reappeared in bottles/cans. I get Dublin Dr. Pepper some or the Heritage Dr. Pepper whenever it is available.

I have pretty much cut my consumption of Dr. Pepper in recent months, I typically only have one Mexican Coke or Dr. Pepper a day now.

I know this post is old but it always comes up whenever i try to find Mr Pibb
They have it ay the Hollywood theater and at zoes kitchen in Norman ^^
