Has Heritage Dr Pepper hit the metro yet?

[Matt]

Some of you may remember a question I asked here two-and-a-half years ago. Well, I'm gonna ask it again:



Anyone seen this stuff locally? Heritage Dr Pepper is apparently another "limited time release" of old-school style Dr Pepper made with real sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup--like Pepsi and Mountain Dew have done recently.

Browsing through this story, it appears that distribution is all over the place for this stuff, so I thought I'd ask here before I went out to thirty different stores in search of this Nectar of the Gods.

Come on down to the Fort Worth area. Go almost anywhere and ask for
Dublin Dr Pepper.

Oldest DP bottler in the world. Still uses Imperial Pure Cane Sugar, like in the original recipe. This is year round, not seasonal.

I know about Dublin Dr Pepper. There was discussion of it in the original thread that I linked to that I would have just bumped instead but can't anymore because it's closed now for who knows what reason.

But I digress.

Yeah, I've seen that stuff at Pops. Would have bought some but the bottles were a little small and since all the bottles cost the same there, regardless of size, I thought I'd maximize my soda-buying dollar and get something else instead.

And I'm not going to Ft. Worth just for Dr Pepper, Dublin variety or no. Now, when I'm down that way to go to the IKEA store, I may stop and pick up some DDP along the way (and some Fat Tire), but a special trip is out of the question.

You can order it from Dublin Dr. Pepper as well, in the 8oz. bottles or in 12oz. cans.

Is 7-11 selling it?

[nik4411]

there is a shell gas station in yukon, on morgan road and sw 15th street. i have a good friend who was a hairdresser in a salon near there. a little asian man runs the shell station, and he would keep that dr. pepper made with real sugar behind the counter, and she would buy it from him b/c she was a regular through there.

This is what they want for a case of 24 12oz. cans:

Dublin Dr Pepper - 12 oz cans
$10.00

Subtotal: $10.00
Packaging: $5.00
Shipping: $12.87

Total: $27.87

That's $1.16 a can. And the bottles are even worse. $35 shipped for a 24 8oz. bottles. $1.45 a bottle, which comes out to over 18 cents an ounce! Ludicrous!

Thanks but no thanks, bluedogok. I'm not a retarded billionaire.

This is helpful. Not entirely what I'm looking for here, but helpful all the same. Thank you.

I would just like to be able to go into a big store here in the metro, you know, like a Target or a Walmart or a Homeland, what have you, and buy a ton of this stuff without having to sell a kidney to do so. That's all I want.

[bluedogok]

I just knew that it could be mail ordered, to some people I guess it doesn't matter. I never paid attention to their price because I have never had to order it, I can find it locally down here.

They sell it at Ace Hardware here in Arlington; $1.99 a six-pack for the 8oz bottles.

I've never tried it in OKC but sometimes if you go to the manager of a local grocery, like Homeland, and ask the store manager if it is possible for them to order a supply of it for you, they will do it. You'd probably have to order a few cases of it though. I had a neighbor in Dallas who had an old Coke machine that needed the 6 1/2 oz. bottles of Coke and the local Kroger ordered it for her.

[oneforone]

I had a throw back Pepsi the other day. It was actually better then the regular Pepsi.

[z28james]

POPS, the place with the big soda bottle in Arcadia has it, that DP is some good $hit right there!

I know that many of you have been on pins and needles waiting for an update to this thread. Well, here it is:

Finally found some of this stuff!

. . .at a store in Florida.

[nik4411]

haha i was waiting for it matt.

did you order it or were/are you in florida?

[Matt]

did you order it or were/are you in florida?

Would you believe I drove all the way to Florida to get some?

Haha, no, I was on an unrelated road trip to Daytona Beach and found some at a Walmart somewhere in Alabama/Georgia/Florida (can't remember which) and then found some more at a Publix store in Daytona Beach.

Still haven't found any here in the metro--then again, I haven't really been out looking since before Iceocalypse 2010 last week. I have a hunch that Target stores may be my best bet. Rest assured, I'll keep everyone apprised.

Given Walmart's typical clientele, it's a wonder they carry toothpaste at all.

Sorry, too easy...

[Matt]

Sorry, too easy...

OMFG, you got me! How embarrassing!

False.

"Typical" being the key word there. I never said I never go to Walmart; I just try to avoid doing so unless it's absolutely necessary--like when I'm on a road trip in an unfamiliar state and there's a Walmart right next door to the restaurant where we decided to stop and eat and hey, since I'm here, why not just run in and see if they have this one thing that I've exhausted all other options looking for back home?

Nice try, though, slugger. You'll get 'em next time.

[nik4411]

haha nice.

and yes, please keep us updated

[mugofbeer]

I bought some and was kind of disappointed. It seemed overly fizzy to me.

[metro]

I know walmart carries the throwback Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Crush and a few others. Also if you want Dublin Dr. Pepper, no need to drive to Pops, you can get it for the same price at Market C on 23rd street. FYI, Good Egg Group manages both concepts.

[Bryan]

Was visiting the in-laws in Tulsa and found it at Walgreens (12pack cans). I have not checked Walgreens in OKC.

Target does not have Heritage, at least not the one at Penn and Memorial.

[Superhyper]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm wondering if any of you have heard of/seen Heritage Dr. Pepper in the metro area. I've recently become addicted to Dublin Dr. Pepper but I can't find anyone here in Norman that sells it regularly. I'm told Dr. Pepper has recently put out a variety called Heritage Dr Pepper that's basically the same thing but distributed by the company itself. Anyhow here's an article:

Andy Ihnatko's Celestial Waste of Bandwidth (BETA) » Heritage Dr. Pepper: Apparently Many Of You Were Unaware

Just thought I'd see if anyone else had run across it.

[traemac]

heritage dr pepper is only available where pepsi bottles the dr pepper. you can go to pops in arcadia and get dublin dr pepper in bottle and fountain

[Urbanized]

Dublin DP is also available at the Bricktown Candy Company.
