Heritage Dr Pepper is for those who appreciate a good Dr Pepper. Using a combination of cane and beet sugar, this beverage is smoother and cleaner than its high fructose corn syrup counterpart, allowing you to actually notice those "23 Flavors" that the company is always bragging about.

Here at BevReview.com, we were sad to hear the news that Dom DeLuise passed away on May 5. He was a great pitchman for Dr Pepper in the 1981 movie, Cannonball Run. Watch the clip!

Cherry 7Up Antioxidant is not an improvement over its predecessor, Cherry 7Up. It shifted from a light, cherry-infused drink built on a lemon-lime base to a heavy, syrup-laden albatross that probably isn't going to help its market share. It needs a do-over!

Dr Pepper Cherry is impressive. While at first I mocked the idea since the Dr already had a bit of cherry flavor, this new flavor won me over. It lives up to the claims of being smooth, while not forgetting the unique flavor heritage of Dr Pepper. I hope this is a flavor extension that stands the test of time. Hopefully, the marketplace responds appropriately.

Squirt Citrus Power is a enjoyable citrus soda/energy drink hybrid. The increase in caffeine, addition of taurine and B vitamins, and unique grapefruit taste make this a nice addition to the market. The familiarity of the brand and intentional courting of the casual beverage fan could be very positive for this flavor extension.

Take the flavor experience of a root beer float and bottle it. That's what A&W Float soda attempts to pull off. It's an interesting innovation idea… and one that comes close, but misses. While it does use sugar and skim milk, the resulting taste is so artificial that you shouldn't even bother. Great idea, horrible execution.
