Back at the beginning of April, the Dr Pepper account teased the new soda on their official Instagram account, sharing a picture of the date May, 1st and the caption, "This date seems... important ." Now, the brand has come forward and shared that Dr Pepper Dark Berry will, in fact, be released in stores nationwide on May 1. However, it looks like some people have gotten their hands on the limited-edition dark berry flavor a little earlier.

According to the Impulsive Buy, one case of the soda was spotted in a Jewel Osco. Those who attended the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention also got the chance to try the soft drink before the official release date. According to one Redditor, "It actually tasted really good. I'll probably get some more when it comes out".

Fans will be happy to hear the new flavor is loosely inspired by Spider-Man villain Mysterio, who happens to be played by Jack Gyllenhaal. 

Ready to watch the new movie? Fans of the Marvel Universe can receive a free Fandango movie ticket when you buy three Dr Pepper Dark Berry 12-packs. Check the box for more information and to find out how to receive your free ticket.

The brand shared that the soda will be available as a 12-pack of cans for $5.29 or a 20-ounce bottle for $1.99. There's no saying how long this soda will be on the shelves, so grab a box or two while you can.
