Dublin Dr Pepper is no longer manufactured with the “Dr Pepper” trademark as of 2012. This unopened glass bottle of Dublin Dr Pepper was manufactured in the year 2000/2001.
Dublin Dr Pepper followed the original recipe, using cane sugar as the sweetener as opposed to newer high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The Dublin plant formula's use of sugar made it popular among soda fans. According to the corporate headquarters at Dr Pepper Snapple Group, this resulted in clashes with other bottlers and the parent company of Dr Pepper. On 12 January 2012, it was announced that the drink will no longer be produced, after the Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling Company settled the trademark dispute instigated by Dr Pepper Snapple Group.[1] In 2014, the surviving Dublin Bottling Company was the subject of a documentary “Bottled Up: The Battle Over Dublin Dr Pepper”
