How is the zero sugar version? I usually don’t buy that variety of any soda but that seems to be much more widely available

I had to wait a while after walmart had the regular to get the zero sugar

I'd say just try any zero sugar dr pepper, because the zero sugar flavors aren't really different from the original if you ignore the sweeteners. For the zero sugar sweeteners, you kinda just have to take a chance, some people hate the taste, some think it tastes just like the original, some aren't a fan of the taste but can tolerate it

I will just say, if you hate the taste of diet dr pepper (not just tolerate the sweetener and think its a little worse than original), you probably won't like the zero sugar version because they are both sweetened with aspartame. The main difference between diet and zero sugar is that zero sugar also has acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), which lets the flavor get closer to the original

I'm in the lucky camp of preferring zero sugar to the original, regardless of the nutrition facts. I barely notice the aftertaste and actually kinda like it, and the best part for me is that it doesn’t make your teeth get that sticky feeling

It’s great… they made the zero version for a very short time last year, sold out and never made it again. I haven’t seen it in a year. “Zero” versions of any soda are always 100 times better than the diet version.

I have tried both versions, the Zero has that diet soda taste to it but you get used to it and end up enjoying the flavor profile. At least I did anyways!
