Dr Pepper is known for its original 23-flavors-in-one soda, but it’s also been known to release a wild variety or two — chocolate Dr Pepper, anyone? The brand is bringing back a blast from the past that only real aficionados will remember: Dr Pepper Berries & Cream.

Retailers were first graced with Dr Pepper Berries & Cream in 2006, but was only available for about a year and a half. Now, 15 years later, the limited-edition variety is returning to give you the taste of blueberry, raspberry, and vanilla. Plus, with its updated look of bright purple packaging, how can we not gravitate towards the soda?

“Dr Pepper Berries & Cream is back with that smooth Dr Pepper taste. It’s got a punch of blueberry and raspberry flavor with a rich creamy vanilla finish. Join Pepper Perks for a chance to win the sweet treat you deserve,” the description reads on the brand’s website.

Yes, unfortunately, this means that in order to get your hands on a can, you need to win it — at least for now. Simply join Pepper Perks, Dr Pepper’s free rewards program, submit a free entry to win Dr Pepper Berries & Cream, and wait for the notification that you’re one of the lucky winners. It couldn’t be easier!

We’re not so secretly hoping that Dr Pepper is just using this giveaway as a jumping off point, and will eventually bring the flavor back to store shelves where they belong. But until then, you might as well try to win (for the soda and for the bragging rights).
