Coke's competitor to Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb, had been gone for about 20 years. Replaced with, "Pibb Xtra," which tasted a little different. The OG Mr. Pibb was but a faint memory. That is, until Coca-Cola announced it was coming back in 2025, and as of 2026, it can be found at a variety of stores/gas stations/etc. The design of the can and bottle is different than the original, but its a fun throwback vibe to see it on shelves after all this time. With 30% more caffeine than Pibb Xtra, this has a greater degree of, "Kick," too, apparently. Considering how the soda corporations seem to enjoy bringing back their old sodas every now and then (from Surge to Crystal Pepsi), it almost makes me wonder if Sobe will try and make, "Mr. Green," again, someday. I doubt it, but we shall see.
