Mr. Pibb is back in stores and at your favorite fast food restaurants. The problem?
Everyone 'knows' Dr. Pepper is better than Mr. Pibb. But Mr. Pibb isn't second best. It's just been slept on.

In the days leading up to the launch, we teased that something was coming — leaving fans guessing.
We launched the full spot right on time for March Madness, when we knew we'd have basketball fans' full attention — starring Scottie Pippen as Mr. Pipp and Van Lathan as the voice of Mr. Pibb.
Now everyone is left wondering…is Scottie shading Michael Jordan? Is Mr. Pibb also, just slept on? Stay tuned to find out.
