Snack Pack Might Be Making Dr Pepper Juicy Gels—Here’s What We Know

It sure looks like Snack Pack and Dr Pepper are teaming up for a lunchbox-friendly version of everyone’s favorite 23 flavors. 

Before we talk about this, I need to clarify something: This article isn’t about Dr Pepper-flavored pudding. While we all know Snack Pack primarily as “the pudding company,” Snack Pack produces both pudding and “Juicy Gels” (aka their version of Jell-O cups). If you read the very small text on the product render, it definitely says DR PEPPER FLAVORED JUICY GELS. (Consider this article the soft launch of my “Dear Snack Pack, Please Sell Me Dr Pepper Pudding” petition.)

Where did this news come from?

Our own Tyler Bowers discovered the product render seen above; per the catalog he found it in, the file was updated as recently as October. Snack Pack did not respond to any request for comment, but considering their existing Orange Crush Juicy Gels collaboration is licensed through Dr Pepper’s parent company, this is very plausible. I’d put money on this hitting shelves within the next year. Stay tuned to Sporked for an update with the official release information if and when it’s revealed to us.

Did we really need Dr Pepper-flavored jelly cups?

Dr Pepper is the beverage equivalent of Mike’s Hot Honey—they’ll get into bed with anyone. I’ve had Dr Pepper-flavored jelly beans, ice cream, cotton candy, beef jerky, barbecue sauce, dessert topping, and even baked beans. Just a few months ago, I tried the brand new Dr Pepper-flavored Dippin Dots. (They were fantastic; I went back for seconds.) Dr Pepper works in damn near every format; why shouldn’t it be sold in jelly cups?
