The
Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling Company still uses real sugar in their Dr Pepper. And I can tell you from personal experience that there is definitely a difference...the Dublin stuff is way better. You can order it directly from them or buy it in high-end grocery stores. Here, I can get it at
Straub's. It costs more, but I think it's worth it.
I've also noticed at some of the Latino grocery stores here in St. Louis that you can find Mexican Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, etc. with sugar, at a higher price.
