Dr Pepper Cherry Crush Zero Sugar Returns to Shelves Permanently
Dr Pepper has officially reinstated its beloved Cherry Crush Zero Sugar flavour to store shelves on a permanent basis, following its initial limited-time release. The fan-favourite beverage, which was previously discontinued, has made a triumphant return just in time for Valentine's Day celebrations.
Overwhelming Fan Response Leads to Permanent Revival
The drink first launched in January 2025 as a limited-edition offering, but it quickly garnered an enthusiastic following across the country. Thousands of consumers expressed their adoration for the tangy, cherry-flavoured beverage, demanding that it remain available indefinitely.
Sara Porter, Dr Pepper brand manager at The Coca-Cola Company, commented on the decision: "Cherry Crush started life as a limited-edition, but the reaction from fans was immediate, and loud. People fell hard for its tangy, cherry flavour and didn’t want to see it disappear from shelves. Now, they can fall in love all over again with Dr Pepper Cherry Crush Zero Sugar – permanently. It’s fruity, refreshing and unapologetically different."
Availability and Pricing Details
Cherry Crush Zero Sugar is now accessible in multiple formats, including 330ml cans, 500ml cans, and two-litre bottles. Retailers throughout the United Kingdom have already begun stocking the popular drink, with some offering significant promotional deals.
Heron Foods, which operates stores in Birmingham, recently advertised a "crazy deal" on February 10, selling Dr Pepper Cherry Crush Zero Sugar 500ml bottles at six for £1. This pricing strategy equates to approximately 29p per bottle, making it an exceptionally affordable option for consumers.
Consumer Enthusiasm and Social Media Reaction
The announcement sparked considerable excitement on social media platforms. A Facebook post from Heron Foods highlighted the promotional offer, prompting hundreds of comments from delighted customers.
- One individual described the deal as "absolutely legendary," noting that "you're practically being paid to take them home."
- Another user tagged a friend, exclaiming, "Mate if you see this its my absolute fave!!"
