Two Peppers

It's been a while since I've mentioned Dr Pepper here, but last week I was given two new cans.


It continues the recent trend towards Zero Sugar and its color black motif.

This is a new version of Cherry.  It's now in line with the current Blackberry design, which to be honest, I didn't even know Dr Pepper had a blackberry flavor.

I think it'd be neat to line up all the Dr Pepper cans I've collected in recent years to show the variations of the can designs and different flavors they've released, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Flavored Pepsi 2

Just two weeks ago I gushed about a new Pepsi can in my collection.  This week I'll continue the gushing.


The same person who gave me the first wild cherry & cream can also gave me this one, the zero sugar version.  As the color black has come to be associated with Zero Sugar, the difference in the cans is in the starburst stripes behind the Pepsi logo.  In the regular version some of the stripes are white.  In this version, those same stripes are black.  Subliminal?  Could be.

The funny thing is they meant to buy more of the regular version but accidentally bought the zero sugar version instead.  As the old saying goes, "One man's mistake is another man's can collection gain."

Watermelon Bull

We went on a college tour last weekend for my son and all I got was this new can.


It's been a while since I've featured a Red Bull can.  I used to try to collect all the editions and flavors as they came out, but I fell behind.

This one is Red Edition watermelon flavored.  It sounds delicious.  My main problem is reading the green print on the red background.  It's a bit of a contrast.  Looks like a Christmas Edition.

Btw, I needed no energy drink boost to make it through the 2-hour campus walking tour.  And my smart watch was glad I got my high score for number of steps in a day!  That's the important stuff.

Flavored Pepsi

I was given a new can this week and it sure looks cool!


The design of this car instantly caught my eye!  And the flavor is interesting also, Wild Cherry & Cream.  The person who gave this to me said it tasted pretty good, they were a fan.

As far as the look of the can, I'm a fan.  It may be a bit busy, but it sure is a neat look for Pepsi.
