Awhile back Dr. Pepper finally came out with decaff diet Pepper.
Now, in the last couple weeks it has literally disappeared off the
shelves. No one has any left. Anyone know what the deal is?

The deal is, they sell it in Phoenix. I bought an 8-pack last Wednesday.
Good stuff!

I saw it in Dallas this week. Have you tried the diet cherry vanilla
Dr. Pepper? That's my new favorite.

They're selling it here in northern VA. I just bought some a few weeks ago,
and a friend bought some two days ago. Ask up at the customer service
desk -- maybe it's not a hit in your area?

I bought "some a few weeks ago" myself. You bought any lately? It's
gone from everywhere to scarce-as-cheap-gasoline in two weeks. I'm
going to call some distributors on Monday.

It's hit or miss at my Kroger. Always plenty of Diet but not
Diet-Decaff. Guess it just hasn't earned the shelf space in sales.

Will check. This could be a disaster in the making!

Here in Indianapolis, it is difficult to find caffeine-free
anything. The distributors think that it will not sell, so they
do not stock it. I used to drink caffeine-free Coke, but could no
longer get it, then switched to caffeine-free Pepsi, which now is
hard to find. I have never seen caffeine-free Dr. Pepper.

I asked at my regular market, and their reply was that they could
not get it for me because their distributor would not stock it.
So much for the customer coming first.
