Thanks! I'll have to cruise by.

edit: Just realized Paciugo is a Dallas company, so it wouldn't be too hard for them to buy cases for $0.67/bottle and move it up their supply chain to the Chicago area. Probably why they're able to sell it for $1.50-$2.00. I wonder if I could con them into selling me a case at a discount...

Got it. They have it at the Paciugo in Lakeview. They will give you a discount for I think she said six or more.

Wow. I swear, sugar just has a different taste. This stuff is fantastic. It was $1.50 & it's an 8 oz bottle (perfect). I'm not a fan of much more than 8 oz. of soda, juice, tea, etc. as a rule. Everything else seems to big.

It has a more pronounced taste of caramel(in a good way).

What a lovely treat.

nice! how much were they asking per can? it works out to about $1/can (including shipping) from olddocs.com, but I wonder if they're getting a special discount.

one tip for the owner: the dublin plant will sell the syrup in bag in box form, so he could actually have fountain dublin dr pepper (presumably much more cheaply than the cans/bottles). would be one of the very few places outside of texas to do so.

slightly more related: did a side by side test of dublin (in glass) vs anniversary (in aluminum). similar, but the dublin tasted less sweet and the main flavors of the soda popped more. the difference was definitely noticeable.

I was part of a group and we paid Austin BBQ a per person amount so I did not note the cost of the Dr. Pepper. I do remember Doug, owner of Austin BBQ, mentioning bottles were much more expensive than cans, which is why he went with cans.

I did not get around to drinking my Dublin Dr. Pepper until a few minutes ago, aluminum can or not that is one hell of a soda. I swear I taste a faint note of prune, though I've heard thats a Dublin DP myth.

Enjoy,

Y'all are killing me.

I love Dr. Pepper. Had the opportunity, a couple of times, to have Dublin DP at Paciugo Gelato. It's weird but the company is from TX.

When I went a few weeks ago they said they stopped carrying it

After years of seeing its Dublin Dr Pepper bottler ship its product far beyond its rural six-county territory using a distinctive logo and implying -- on Facebook and elsewhere -- that sugar sets it apart, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group took action. The publicly traded corporation took the tiny family-owned bottler to federal court in Sherman on Tuesday, demanding that it abide by its 2009 agreement or lose its license. No monetary damages are sought.

A recent WSJ article also notes that you cannot order on the web but they were still taking phone orders.

Dublin Dr. Pepper is no more.....

I guess I'll be holding on to my Dublin bottles. R.I.P.
