Peppo Soda
In the early 1970’s, The Coca-Cola Company looked to create a soft drink that could compete with the very successful Dr Pepper. It was a soft drink made up of 23 different flavors. What they introduced was Peppo Soda. The name was changed to Mr. Pibb in 1972 because the Dr Pepper Company filed a lawsuit against The Coca-Cola Company. They claimed that “Peppo” sounded too close to “Dr. Pepper”. Today Mr. Pibb is gradually being changed to Pibb Xtra in most locations.

Have you ever seen a bottle of Peppo or had a chance to try it? How about the new formula in Mr. Pibb?
