Take yourself back to the summer of 2006: Justin Timberlake was bringing "SexyBack," The Da Vinci Code was in theaters, and you could find Dr. Pepper's then-newest flavor, Berries & Cream, on store shelves everywhere. Sadly for fans, the soda company discontinued the flavor by the summer of 2007. Now, however, Dr. Pepper plans to bring it back! However, you will not find it in stores. Read on to find out how you can score a can of the 2022 edition of Berries and Cream...

The Return of Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream

While Dr. Pepper remains best know for its original, 23-flavored soda, it has released some other varieties over the years, most notably the cherry variety. Now, though, the brand wants to bring back a blast-from-the-past that only the biggest soda fans will remember: Berries & Cream. Originally, the flavor remained on store shelves from April 2006 until the spring of 2007. In 2022, nearly two decades later, the limited-edition hit will return to the soda company's lineup!

If you need a refresher - pun intended - the Berries & Cream variety features a sweetly satisfying blend of raspberry and blueberry flavors. To balance out the sweetness, Dr. Pepper also included hints of vanilla, resulting in a refreshing, creamy drink that fans instantly loved back in 2006. "Berries & Cream is back with that smooth Dr. Pepper taste. It's got a punch of blueberry and raspberry flavor with a rich creamy vanilla finish," the description reads on the brand's website.

Why has Dr. Pepper decided to bring back the drink now? It might have something to do with the fact that a commercial for Starburst's also defunct "Berries and Cream" flavor recently became a hit on TikTok. While the Dr. Pepper flavor and Starburst candy have nothing to do with each other, there's no question that the hashtag #BerriesAndCream has blown up in the past few months. And the soda company is seizing the opportunity!
