If you've been mourning the loss of Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream flavor since 2006, you'll be thrilled to hear that the sweet flavor is coming back for a limited time.
Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream flavor originally debuted in 2006 and now it's back in 2022 for a limited run. The brand made the decision to resurrect the old flavor after a 2007 Starburst “berries and cream” commercial recently went viral on TikTok. Thanks to the Little Lad from the video, Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream will return with its sweet blend of blueberry and raspberry flavors with hints of vanilla.
To sample the exclusive soda, you'll need to enter to win the beverage during the Dr. Pepper’s Berries and Cream sweepstakes. It's also important to note that the sweepstakes is only available for Pepper Perk members, so you'll need to sign up first.
