[edit] History
First introduced as "Peppo" to compete against Dr Pepper,[1], the name was changed in 1972 to "Mr. Pibb" after Dr Pepper sued The Coca-Cola Company for trademark infringement.[2] The original test markets for Mr. Pibb in 1972 were located in Waco, Texas,[3] the birthplace of Dr Pepper, though the Dr Pepper company moved to Dallas, Texas almost 40 years after the creation of the drink.[4]
In 2001, a new formula called Pibb Xtra was introduced with added cinnamon flavor,[5] replacing the original formula in many parts of the United States.
In 2010, the description on the can was changed to "Spicy Cherry Soda."
[edit] Coca-Cola Freestyle Flavors
In 2011 Pibb Xtra had two new flavors released for Coca-Cola Freestyle machines, the first is Pibb Xtra Cherry. The other new flavor is Pibb Xtra Cherry-Vanilla. These new flavors were also released for Pibb Zero.
