Burger King releases new Dr Pepper ice-cream floats \u2013 but not everywhere Dr Pepper \/ Burger KingWith its distinctive blend of 23 secret flavors, Dr Pepper has a unique taste that\u2019s almost impossible to rival. Now, Burger King is taking the drink to new heights by adding ice cream to the mix. That\u2019s right, a tall cup of Dr Pepper, topped off with Burger King\u2019s classic vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, this new sweet treat is only available in Burger King Japan, and so won\u2019t be available for purchase in US stores. The new beverage is for sale in the country for 270 yen, which translates to around $1.77 USD. Surprisingly, Japanese patrons aren\u2019t big fans of Dr Pepper like most are in the US. According to news outlet Sora News, who regularly post about Japanese fast food releases: \u201cJapan already isn\u2019t as cola-crazy as the U.S. in general, and when compared to its more straightforwardly sweet rivals Coke and Pepsi, Dr Pepper\u2019s busier flavor profile often gets it saddled with a \u2018medicine-y\u2019 image among non-fans in Japan.\u201d However, according to some Twitter\/X comments underneath the drink\u2019s announcement, some were totally on board with the new float, writing: \u201cThe first time you drink it, it\u2019s just OK. The second time, you start to get it. And then the third time, you love it.\u201d \u201cThe idea of a Dr Pepper float sounds sinful in the best way,\u201d another chipped in. Adding ice cream to sodas is quite the trend this summer, as Burger King are not the first to add floats to menus. The Orange Cream Pop Shake released by McDonald\u2019s was actually inspired by a TikTok trend, and features the \u201crefreshing flavor of an orange cream pop blended with creamy vanilla soft serve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
