Pibb Xtra

First introduced as "Peppo" to compete against Dr Pepper, the name was changed to "Mr. Pibb" after Dr Pepper sued The Coca-Cola Company for trademark infringement. The original test markets for Mr. Pibb in 1972 were located in Waco, Texas, the birthplace of Dr Pepper, before the company moved to Dallas, Texas. In 1980, Mr. Pibb was reformulated and marketed with the words "New Taste" printed prominently on the products.
In 2001, a new formula called Pibb Xtra added cinnamon flavor, replacing the original formula in many parts of the United States. Today, Pibb Xtra is marketed as "artificially flavored spicy cherry soda".
=== Coca-Cola Freestyle flavors ===
Pibb is now available in some Freestyle machines at restaurant chains that do not serve Dr Pepper or regions where Dr Pepper is not bottled by a local Coca-Cola distributor, which introduced the brand to new countries exclusively through the machines. In 2011, Pibb Xtra expanded to two new flavors: Pibb Xtra Cherry and 
Pibb Xtra Cherry-Vanilla. Released for Coca-Cola Freestyle machines, 
both new flavors were also released for Pibb Zero. Pibb Xtra Strawberry 
was released in 2018, along with Dr Pepper Strawberry.
