They sold Dr.Pepper in Australia for a few years, promoting the fuck out of it.
All those advertising dollars must have been in vain, they took it off the shelves.
When I was in Canada 2 years ago I fell in love with it again. I drank a can every morning for about a month. Dr Pepper and a cigarette, great start to the day.
There was a cheap imitation as well, I forget what it was called... something blatant like Dr. Purple... ? Wasn't bad for a knockoff.
