DR PEPPER FANTASTIC CHOCOLATE

Dr Pepper is a drink that is known for having a very unique flavour which makes it stand out in the world of fizzy drinks and have a lot of fans. Well, like everything, Dr Pepper is also something in America that gets remixed and today we look at a new flavour that was released last year.

In August of 2021, Dr Pepper announced that they were releasing a new flavour for a limited time – Dr Pepper FANtastic Chocolate. The difference between accessing this flavour to other companies? You have to be part of a fan club.

The brand released a rewards a programme called ‘Pepper Perks’ where, the more you buy of the drink, the more points you get. These points lead to exclusive access to new ideas including this product. This was a drink you would only be allowed to purchase if you had enough points to redeem it.

For the reviews I could find for the drink they were surprisingly positive, they state that even though Chocolate shouldn’t work, it really makes a pleasant addition.
