Vanilla Float Dr Pepper

January 6, 2015 10:06 PM

Is there anywhere left in the world to buy Vanilla Float (not Cherry Vanilla) Dr. Pepper? It was a limited version Dr. Pepper this year, and my wife has mourned the drinking of her last can this week. Amazon and ebay seem to be slim pickings. Is there anywhere I haven't considered? Is there a special rare soda distributor that would have it in stock?

Best answer: If you can't find it, trying adding a shot of vanilla flavored syrup. I prefer Monin, you can find it a Smart and Final or probably anywhere that sells flavored syrups for coffees.

Best answer: Until you find it, there's this Dr Pepper Vanilla Float freeze drink at Taco Bell (hush!) and it's soooooo good. It's a slushy, though. Around where I live, it's just a $1 if you go mid-afternoon.

Best answer: There's a bottle for sale on Soda Emporium. I'd also call Dr. Pepper and ask them about your options. Maybe they can hook you up somehow.

Response by poster: You guys rock. I just placed an order at the Soda Emporium (shipping is a killer), and I'm going to utilize all of these other resources as we move closer to the Zombie Apocalypse and sources become even more scarce. So now I get to surprise my wife with gift wrapped Dr. Pepper as a late Christmas present when it gets here. Thanks!
