They made the cane sugar Dr. Pepper until Jan, 2012. Now they have their own line of drinks, all made with Imperial Cane sugar. Now that is what I call a DIY soda company.

It IS different. The biggest difference I know about is the "high-fructose corn syrup" used to sweeten it instead of "old-fashioned" cane sugar. The HFCS, in addition to being very hard on your liver and your whole body, just does not taste good.
I've never been one to drink a lot of soda, but when they started the switchover -- putting on the ingredient label that it was sweetened with "sugar and/or HFCS" -- I tried to ignore any difference. That would require attention and getting up-at-arms and going to the trouble of looking all that up...
But many years ago when Dr Pepper made something like an "anniversary edition" of Dr Pepper in a glass bottle, it tasted sooooo much better! I did notice that it said it was sweetened with real sugar, but for awhile, I thought maybe it tasted so much better just because it was in a glass bottle. So I would drink an occasional soda when I found one in a glass bottle, but it just didn't taste very good.
The taste difference is so huge -- not to mention that the HFCS-sweetened soda seems to have at least *contributed* to the fatty-liver I had for awhile -- that I don't even bother with the crap that is so-easily available everywhere. If I want a soda, I go hunt down the real-sugar-sweetened ones.
