Dublin Dr. Pepper

Officially, as of 1/11/2012, the legal battling between Plano, TX-based Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Dr Pepper Bottling of Dublin ended. "Dublin Dr. Pepper" is no more. The signs have come down. All vestiges of the former cane-sugar-sweetened Dublin Dr Pepper are gone. The last of the sought-after soda was sold out as of 1/11/2012.

The bottling plant will continue to operate for Dr Pepper Snapple Group as the "Dublin Bottling Works, Inc." but will not be producing the former soft drink. [Ron Nichols, 01/12/2012]
