BBQ pitmasters have been using Dr. Pepper as a secret ingredient for ages, so it makes perfect sense for the soda's blend of 23 flavors to end up in a can of baked beans. In the canned beans aisle at the grocery store, among familiar varieties such as brown sugar, barbecue, and hickory smoked, you might notice a seemingly out-of-place can of Serious Bean Co.’s baked beans with the familiar Dr. Pepper logo. However, consider yourself warned — while the novelty might tempt you to try a can for yourself, you may end up disappointed with your purchase. Dr. Pepper baked beans have a 3.5-star rating on Walmart and a slightly better 3.8 on Amazon, showcasing a spectrum of opinions that swings from high praise to severe criticism. As with any product, of course, taste is subjective. However, both positive and negative reviews seem to agree that Dr. Pepper baked beans don't taste very much like Dr. Pepper and that they're fairly expensive for the amount of beans you're getting.
