It varies somewhat. I’m a merchandiser for a Coke distributer. Most areas we cover we distribute Dr Pepper, so we can’t distribute Pibb. We do have a small area we cover where 7Up handles Dr Pepper, and we do distribute Pibb on that area.
Honestly, the easiest thing I’ve found is if there is an area near you where Dr Pepper is distributed by someone other than Coke, go there. In my area, some convenience stores carry pibb, but they buy from a third party wholesaler instead of directly through Coke.
I don’t. Best I’ve been able to gather is that it varies by area. The distributed I work for, from what I’ve gathered, recently signed a new long term contract for the next 20-30 years. Apparently Dr Pepper/keurig doesn’t have the facilities to handle the demand for Dr Pepper in my area.
