I was at the Yangjae Costco yesterday afternoon and saw that they have both Dr Pepper (12,990won for 24x355ml cans), and Cherry Coke (13,490won for 24x355ml cans). The Dr Pepper was in the soft drink aisle (opposite fruit and veg) and the Cherry Coke was on the end of that aisle.

I know that Dr Pepper at least was posted about semi-recently, but I couldn't find the thread when I did a seach, so thought I'd post again just in case people wanted to know.

Happy drinking Smile

Yeah, cheers!

I discovered 'The Peppah' a while back and for that reason alone I'm a Costco member.

You can get it at Yeungdeungpo Costco also, but that store is missing a lot of other stuff that you can get at Yangjae. Sad

The post about Dr Pepper was from me. But I was talking about Diet Dr Pepper, not Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper can be found in lots of places in Korea.

Regular Dr. Pepper could be found in Korea for years. It's been here before 2006 as far as I know, so it's not really news. As far as Diet Dr. Pepper, that hasn't been here. I have seen Cherry Coke outside of Costco in some Korean vending machines. I used to be a huge fan of Cherry Coke, and I still love it. I just don't drink much soda, but I bought one not long ago for nostalgic reasons:)

I remember that old commercial "Cha Cha Cherry Coke!"

I'm so happy about the Cherry Coke. I don't like Dr. Pepper at all, but absolutely LOVE Cherry Coke. I had been bringing over my own cherry and vanilla syrups to make my own, but love having Cherry Coke available. (Although very expensive.) I bought 2 flats last Friday. Woohoo! (Other teachers and friends have already dug into my stash.) Laughing

The Dr. Pepper is much cheaper at Costco.

Oh, and the Cherry Coke is AWESOME!

Ah yes, along with the inspired jr. high chant "pa pa pop a cherry."

No. If it was, it would be a thread here immediately.


Dr. Pepper has been available at most Seoul GS25 stores for over a year. A lot other marts have recently been stocking Cherry Coke. Family Mart and a ghetto no-name shop in my hood both have Cherry Coke. I like to crush it up on a mirror and snort it because I'm a foreigner.

You can find it at the Filipino street market which occurs every Sunday at the Hyehwa Rotary. Simply go out exit 1 and walk straight.
