Back in the 90s when I was a kid, you could find a soda called Mr. Pibb. It was created by the Coca-Cola company in the early 1970s, inspired by Dr Pepper. By the time MFGG was founded in mid-2001, Coke had replaced Mr. Pibb with a variant called Pibb Xtra. It was pretty good, too, but a bit different. Lately, Coke has lost the rights to produce Dr Pepper in some parts of the US, and so they've re-introduced Mr. Pibb for sale. I've got a can on my desk and it's pretty good. Officially, it's described as spicy cherry soda. This simply means it tastes similar to Dr Pepper. There are differences between Pibb Xtra and Mr Pibb's flavors, but I forget what they are. I can't get Pibb Xtra anymore unless I pay out the nose for an expired 12 pack of it on Amazon, but I remember it tasting a bit different.

There are two versions I can find. The first is the regular Mr. Pibb that has corn syrup as a sweetener, and the second is the Zero Sugar which is what it says it is. Both of them have significantly more caffeine than I remember. They used to not print the caffeine content of a drink on the can, so I'm going by the internet here, but I think they increased it from 40 to 54mg a can. I think I'd rather have the Zero Sugar flavor these days, but I've tried both and they're good.

This post brought to you by too much caffeine and not enough Mega Man 11 playtime today.

Edit: Added a bit more to the first paragraph to describe how the stuff tastes. It's good!

I had some of the newly-relaunched Mr. Pibb recently. It was good. I wouldn't mind doing a side-by-side comparison of Mr. Pibb and Pibb Xtra sometime.
