[Dr Pepper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-blackberry) announced that it is bringing its Dr Pepper Dark Berry soda back for a limited time. The soda was successful with fans when it originally launched in 2019, leading to a demand for the drink to return three years later. The drink is being re-released as a promotional item for 'Jurassic World: Dominion,' the upcoming third movie in the Jurassic World series.

The Dr Pepper Dark Berry soda is available in both [zero-sugar and regular-sugar variants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-zero-sugar-cherry-crush). Both soda variants are flavored with [blackberry, black currant, and black cherry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-wild-cherry-cream), leading to a rich mixture of natural sweeteners. The soda will be available at select retailers throughout the summer of 2022 while supplies last. The Dr Pepper Dark Berry soda comes in 12-oz cans and is sold individually and in 12-packs. The 12-packs contain one free movie ticket to see Jurassic World: Dominion in theaters.
