Dr Pepper Adds a ‘Sploosh of Something Fun’ With New Collab
Dr Pepper fans are about to have a new option when it comes to enjoying the elevated and "dirty" version of the fan-favorite soda.
The Dirty Dr Pepper is not a new invention. But the drink's popularity has skyrocketed in recent months in part due to social media food trends and pop culture's latest reality TV obsession, Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So much so, that even Coffee mate went out of its way to cater to fans of the flavor with a limited-edition creamer.

While this new version of the mocktail is nowhere near as controversial as say a coffee creamer, it is just as easy to enjoy—just head to your nearest participating Del Taco!
The fast food chain recently added what it calls the "Dirty Del" to menus, and it's nothing more than your run-of-the-mill Dirty Dr Pepper. According to the Del Taco website, the new drink is made using just three ingredients: Dr Pepper, a vanilla-flavored milkshake and lime.
Food blogger SnachwithZach previewed the news with fans on Instagram, inquiring about their excitement levels. But to the surprise of some, many followers didn't know what a Dirty Dr Pepper was in the first place. Still, they appeared excited to try it after the influencer explained that the concoction is a Dr Pepper with "a little zip zoop sploosh of something fun."
This latest addition follows several new releases from the beloved soda brand this year alone. Most recently, Dr Pepper teamed up with Sonic for a "sparkling" new drink this winter. Before that, the soft drink company added Creamy Coconut and Blackberry offerings to its growing flavor lineup.
