[edit] picture is not Dublin Dr Pepper
This picture has a problem. Cans of cane sugar Dr Pepper sold by Dublin Dr Pepper are actually canned by the Temple bottling company. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 13:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
not to mention theres a pic of a bottle on the main dr pepper page but not this one... Blueaster 02:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Got the bottles (picked it up at HEB Central Market here in San Antonio) and will try to take a decent photo to post 70.123.216.219 05:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Resurgence of Dublin-style Dr Pepper
I'm not sure the statement that there are "three remaining" bottlers of sugar-flavored Dr Pepper is an accurate statement. After the corn syrup catastrophe of the 1970s :) there was only Dublin, as far as I know. It's Dublin Dr Pepper's local, underground popularity that has made it possible for sugar-sweetened Dr Pepper to make a resurgence. I don't have sources enough to work on the article, but I think it will eventually need to be a retrospective dealing with the following points:
- Just one of many plants, founding through 1960s
- The last sugar holdout, 1970s and 1980s
- Cult status, 1990s
- Mainstream acceptance, 2000s
- Future challenges (as reported in the media, we can't just make stuff up!)

The Dublin version is SO much better; just like coke bottled in Mexico where they still use sugar cane; tastes great. It's not sweeter, but the flavor is so much stronger and cleaner.

Should this commercial link be removed?LorenzoB 04:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I think that it shouldn't. It is relevant and as I live outside of Texas, it's one of the only ways for me to get it! 70.242.128.121 14:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
== I agree. Just because an article doesn't have appropriate references available doesn't make it untrue. I myself have enjoyed Dr. Pepper from Dublin (in its pure cane sugar goodness) many times. I believe other people should have the chance to know about this product and try it for themselves.
[edit] Restricted Distribution or not?
From the article Dublin, Texas: Contractual requirements previously limited the plant's distribution range to a 40-mile radius of Dublin, an area encompassing Stephenville, Tolar, Comanche and Hico. However, this restriction was later lifted, and now the "original" formula is available throughout most of Texas and over the Internet.[citation needed].
This article states, in bold, that the restriction was never lifted. Can anyone clarify/fix this contradiction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.35.148 (talk) 02:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
