Dr. Pepper has been around since 1885 – and many would say it’s as popular today as it ever was. But as Cameron previously reported, Dr. Pepper is also the last victim in 2020 ‘panic buying.’ While the suggestion might be that people are emptying stores because people just can’t get enough of that delicious fizz, CNN believes that an aluminum can shortage is a more likely culprit.

Diet Dr. Pepper is my personal favorite, so please don't purchase that.
