You know Dr Pepper for its 23 flavors blended into one drink. Now, you’ll have to force your brain to think of the soda as a dessert, because the brand is releasing FANtastic Chocolate. Based on the name alone, you can probably figure out what’s in store, but allow us to give you further insight.

Dr Pepper FANtastic Chocolate is a combination of Dr Pepper and chocolate. We know, at first thought it sounds a little unappealing, after all, bubbly soda? But we have faith that it’ll be a sip to remember. The limited-edition beverage comes just in time for football season, and the packaging is decked out in the classic Dr Pepper burgundy color with chocolate and chocolate footballs. We taste a victory!

Sadly, you won’t be able to find this soda on shelves, a PR rep confirmed to Best Products. Instead, you’ll have to hope that luck is on your side. Consumers will scan their proof of purchase QR code on Dr Pepper products and it’ll prompt them to create a “Pepper Perks” account. Once you earn a qualifying amount of points, you can redeem your purchase to receive the exclusive new flavor — as long as it’s still available. There is only a limited amount, so time is of the essence. You’ll also have the chance to win a trip to the College Football Playoff National Championship and redeem other Dr Pepper branded gear to help you cheer on your favorite college teams on game day.

When you woke up this morning, we bet you didn’t expect to hear that Dr Pepper would be releasing a chocolate-flavored soda. And yet, here you are. We’ll let you take your time in processing this information.
