> LOL, that is because Dr. Pepper is prune juice based! I don’t know if it still made with prune juice or (as typical of today’s mass production) artificial flavoring.
(grin!) Dr Pepper and Mr Pibb are two beverages that have never (to my knowledge) landed on NZ soil. There is an opportunity for somebody somewhere, perhaps...?
I think it is due to CC and Pepsi owning the foreign distribution rights to Dr. Pepper. They bought the rights during the 80s when Dr. Pepper almost went out of business. I am sure they want a nice licensing fee for whoever wants to bottle and distribute it there.
