After reading what follows, I think I had it at Quizno's. It's now called "Pibb Xtra". I found this info on Wikipedia...

"Pibb Xtra is widely available in Texas and the southern United States, parts of the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and other areas of the country, depending on the local Coca-Cola bottler. It is rare to nonexistent in other parts of the US., such as the Northeast, where most bottlers are distributors of Dr Pepper. Pibb Xtra is common and very popular in Maryland, especially the Baltimore area. In Baltimore, you can find Pibb Xtra in many stores and also in 16 oz bottles at convenience stores. In California it used to be available in Bakersfield and Fresno in cans and plastic bottles as recently as 2005 but distribution has apparently been stopped. Despite its somewhat isolated location, Pibb Xtra is widely available throughout Sonora, CA and the rest of Tuolumne County. Pibb Xtra can still be found at the Kmart store in Bishop, CA off of Hwy 395 in very limited quantities. It is still fairly easy to find in western Nevada, since the bottling plant in Reno still produces it.

"It can be found in fountain form in restaurants such as Del Taco, Wendy's, McDonald's, Subway, Dairy Queen, Quiznos, Baja Fresh,Rocky Rococo, Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Waffle House, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Moe's Southwest Grill, Potbelly Sandwich Works, and at select Piccadilly Cafeterias; it is available in the northeast at Dennys, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday's, 5 Guys, and Quik Check convenience stores. It's also available on board of Continental Airlines flights. Some fountains and vending machines still have Mr. PiBB labels, even though it has been replaced by Pibb Xtra. Pibb Xtra is also available in other areas such as Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and is limited in New York. Though it is widely available as a fountain drink, it is not available in bottles or cans in New Jersey."

Believe it or not some NAPA Auto Parts stores. The one on Pat Booker might still
have Pibb in their cooler. Phone # is 210-945-9595.

I have had no luck finding a 12 pack of it.
I am running low on my supply I got from Houston.
I wouldn't run about the countryside of Texas asking for Mr. Pibb if I were you, your in Dr Pepper country. There's a museum not far from you. Learn to love the best, Dr Pepper is wonderful.

I prefer Pibb. Actually it has a stronger but sweeter tatse. Im no fan of big red products but ive seen shelves full of big peach at the culebra meat market on 1957.

I would like to try Mr Pibb again sometime, from a real bottle or can, though, because you never know what kind of mix you will get from a fountain.

I would never trade it for Dr Pepper though.
