Dr Pepper’s Flavour
I bought a bottle of pop today, which I haven’t done in 20 or more years. I’ll drink a little pop if I’m eating pizza or similar fast food and it’s provided for me, but I never buy it - we never have it in the house; but today, while buying a bag of chips, I not only bought a bottle of pop but it was Dr. Pepper, which I haven’t had since 1980 or something. And it tastes the same.

The Straight Dope partly addresses this in their Does the soft drink Dr Pepper contain prunes? article:

President’s Choice used to make a Dr. Pepper clone called Dr. Smooth which was better than Dr. Pepper (and it was smoother). As is usually the case with any kind of weird nutritionless product I like, they stopped making it.

And Hubba Bubba flavoured pop.
Didn’t you see the “Slurm” episode of Futurama? I don’t want to know what the 23 flavors are.
Here’s a list of the top 10 discontinued soda pops. Hubba Bubba is on the list.
I’ve tasted Dr. Pepper, and it only has one flavor.
