Actually, Pepsi always used either Corn Syrup or HCFS, even outside of the US, except for during Passover. This will certainly be interesting, as I've been saying that doing this will be a great boots to their business by the health nuts.

I'm guessing cane sugar since that's about the only type I see used in soda any longer, but due to Pepsi's size, maybe they will just use table sugar.
Cane Sugar, usually as cane syrup, is used by most companies that use sugar. Outside of that, it is cheaper to use natural sugar, not white sugar.

All the people boycotting the highly
unhealthy High-fructose corn syrup (often used as a cheap substitute for sugar in low end foods)
must be making a difference.

I guess someone at Pepsi had a look in the organic section of their grocery store and saw "organic cane juice" on some of the organic pops and a light bulb went off over their head.
But it looks like the bulb quickly dimmed, I mean how long will it take for dissenters to lable this stuff Pepsi Throw-up.

Actually, reading more on Dublin, it does seem to be the same, only it isn't labeled Dublin like some are. Weird. Some of their cans say Dublin Dr. Pepper, and others just say Dr. Pepper and look like the one below.

Looks like a blend of sugar from cane and beet.
If it was pure cane, they would have advertised that and they aren't.
And some people talking to some Pepsi people said it was a mix -- though it shouldn't matter much anyhow and we all know how easy it is to get the whole story from the peons at a company.

They haven't always used it. Or at least, they started using HFCS sometime after 1983. According to my 85th anniversary commemrative can, made in 1983, the ingredients are: carbonated water, sugar, caramel color, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid, and natural flavors. So, they switched sometime after 1983.
Oh, and by the way: Dublin Dr. Pepper rocks! I hard ordered online from them in the past. Last time I visited my brother in Dallas, however, I made the trip to Dublin to tour the bottling plant/musuem and to bootleg some Dublin Dr. Pepper back home. I brought home 2 cases and a "Dublin Dr. Pepper Bootlegger" TShirt.
Want to mail me some??
I bet I'd be able to find some in one of those specialty soda shops. There's one not too far from me.

If I remember correctly, you can order it by mail directly from the bottler on their website... (Shipping was reasonable, as well.)
