In other words, Coke wanted to make it obvious this was a spicy cherry drink. The change was made in , after Coke performed some consumer preference research. It's not as crimson as Big Red or anything, but the rosy hue is distinct enough.
This was just an aesthetic change, as Coke didn't start fooling with the formula till later. In , the taste was redesigned, which was pushed with the "New Taste" promotional materials. Then again in , when the whole thing became Pibb Xtra anyway. Originally, each can of Mr. The difference is cinnamon, which Coca-Cola says creates a bolder flavor, which is why Mr. With that, Pibb Xtra officially usurped Mr. Pibb in in most markets across the United States. This wasn't everyone's favorite decision.
A blogger at The Plain Cheese , who practically lived on Mr. Pibb while attending college in the late '90s and early s, has even waxed sadly on about how Pibb Xtra is not at all as good as her beloved Mr. Pibb — prompting her to save one can in her fridge which may still be there to this day. And yes, there is a petition on Change. The material was mailed to American high schools, college fraternities and sororities, supermarkets, convenience stores, and fast-food joints for display.
There were two problems, however, with the contest. The woman in the ads didn't exist. In other words, all white women. Ten finalists were to be judged in New Orleans, but a Pibb Girl was never selected. Coca-Cola stopped the contest since, as one school principal Reverend Christian Reuter pointed out, the campaign was "blatantly racist, unenlightened and demeaning to all women via Jet.
As of November , a slightly crumpled but fully official Pibb, not Pibb Xtra, is available on eBay. It's sporting the '90s logo, it's never been opened, and it comes with free economy shipping from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. If clicking that "Buy Now" button will blow your vintage soda collection budget, there are other options.
A steel soda can of Mr. The can is bottom emptied, a common practice in selling canned, vintage items. That way, the soda can or whatever still appears full, not opened and emptied, like garbage. Other Mr. Pibb items heavy on eBay include lavender-colored cans of the sugar-free Mr. Pibb, full glass bottles of the soda sporting the '70s logo, and even a neat-looking retro Mr.
Pibb clock. And you know there's some fan art on Etsy , too. Though Mr. Pibb started as a marketing ploy meant to compete against another peppery pop, it's still been around for nearly 50 years — and about 30 as Mr. Pibb proper. That means there are a lot of fans out there, and a lot of collectibles from throughout the decades.
One website, called Pibb Thug, is dedicated entirely to this saga, and has a fantastic archive of Mr. Pibb memorabilia. A good example of this thorough catalog is the page dedicated to buttons and pins sporting the different generations of logos and catchphrases.
Many slogans have been stamped on a pin pushing Mr. There's also a collection of memorabilia dedicated to the relationship between Mr. In the late '70s and early '80s, Mr. Pibb was usually pushed by a full-page ad on the back of the Thrill Show's program.
Pibb cannon and trailer jump set — many of which you can still find on eBay. While we're not trying to say Mr. Pibb was created disingenuously, it is fair to acknowledge the stuff as the Coca-Cola Company's answer to the success of Dr Pepper. And while Mr. Pibb and Pibb Xtra have had their successes, Coke probably isn't thrilled by what may be the overall result: Over time, Pibb has boosted Pepper's sales. When the "relaxed, confident" president was quizzed about Mr.
Pibb, he goes on to say, "Better to let sleeping dogs lie Our sales have actually improved since Mr. Pibb came along. PiBB has just stimulated the taste for Dr Pepper," he said. For whatever reason, large companies retiring soft drinks and snacks brings out the hard fanatics in us. Pibb getting phased out is no exception. Even Pibb Xtra has stirred up some lives. There's the woman with the years old sole can of Mr. Pibb living in her fridge.
There's the guy who started the petition on Change. Then there's the guy in Kansas. Matt Riedl is an arts and entertainment reporter at The Wichita Eagle , and this guy is definitely a devoted Pibb head. For "work," Riedl wrote about how Pibb Xtra, not Mr.
Pibb, is actually hard to find in metro Wichita. However, using the Pibb Xtra website locator feature, Riedl was given a list, type of treasure map to Pibb retailers.
He documents his interviews and purchases of the stuff at some unexpected merchants — like smoke shops and a dry cleaner. Yet, another example of Pibb fans stopping at nothing, or very little. Of course, you can't tell the story of Mr. Pibb without bringing up Dr Pepper again and again. But it's Mr. Pibb's own fault, since it was actually created as a knockoff soft drink to compete with the well-established buzzy cherry-flavored soda. But, as we all know, Mr. Pibb isn't the other Dr Pepper rip off.
There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of dollar-store versions out there. The Linger Longer, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor in Bennington, Kansas, has been collecting Dr Pepper antiques and memorabilia totaling more than 2, pieces to date for years, including cans and bottles — evidence of known imposters. They even took the time to list all the displayed knockoffs on their website, totaling more than pieces by our count.
Others get a little sillier, like Dr Kooper Syrup, Dr. Cheaper, Dr. Gulpster, and Dr Becker no relation to Ted Danson. But there are of course Mr. Pibb rips, including Mr. Lizard, Mr ahhh! Pig from Piggly Wiggly. And yes, they do have a ounce glass bottle of Peppo. Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, even a bottle of Dasani water. Coca-Cola and McDonald's customer relationship goes back to a handshake deal in At the time of the announcement in April of that year, Dr Pepper was on tap at 8, McDonald's locations.
But, Dr Pepper Snapple promised, their product would soon be installed at all 14, at the time in the United States. Karen Wells, vice president of U. But Pibb Xtra was not alone in its banishment. Powerade also got the boot.
