Pure Cane Sugar, in your Dr Pepper!

For decades it has been difficult, if not impossible to find a soda in the United States that contains pure cane sugar in it. For those instances where you can find real sugar in your cola, it is either during Passover, or is an import from Mexico, or finally a bottling company that specializes in using sugar, instead of high fructose corn syrup.



Enter, Dr Pepper. This is not from Dublin DrPepper which as been making sugar based DrPepper for over 100 years. This appears to be a limited promotion that is showing up in some stores. Around Oklahoma City, the local Buy 4 Le$$ is carrying these large, 16 ounce, sugar based cans in 12 pack cases for $7. It is worth EVERY penny. The tast you get from sugar based Dr Pepper is a lighter, smoother, and cleaner taste, where as HFCS based sodas have a harder edge of sweetness to them.

Too bad this is only limited to a small period of time. I wish all bottlers would return to sugar for their sweetener, and not HFCS.
