You can’t get it anywhere in cans or bottles but both Hyvee gas stations have it on the fountain.

The Mexican grocery store on Glenstone has 2 liters. I also think the smaller Mexican grocery store on St Louis St has them as well.

I’m right there with you, brother.

Pibb can be found in the Springfield metro area at the Hy-Vee gas station (soda fountain only), and Silver dollar city. Otherwise, you’re going to have to get out of the Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Company‘s distribution area. So, Benton County (Warsaw), Joplin, West Plains would be the places to go.

I used to have a job that would bring me all over the state and I would always come back with Pibb.

This right here. Ozarks Coca-Cola has the Dr Pepper contract for this area. They will not distribute Pibb in bottles or cans where they sell in Pepper except for special circumstances. Competing against themselves argument by serving both products to an account. Can also add Harrison to the above list of places that have Pibb. Pepsi has the Pepper contract once you cross the state border in to Arkansas so Ozarks Coca-Cola sends Pibb to that area.

I haven’t been to Fazolis in years, but last time I went they had it.

Fazolis switched to Pepsi last year. Still using up their cups that say Coke though. Lol

Our Coca-Cola bottler also bottles Dr Pepper, so you're not going to find it except for at a few soda fountains.

Or if you want to be super-technical about it you'd need a time machine, because Mr Pibb was replaced with Pibb Xtra about twenty years ago.

You could just buy some Dr. Thunder and mix some dirt and cigarette ashes in there, pretty sure it'd taste the same as Pibb :P I'm just teasing, Pibb is fine.

Closest place to go buy pibb is Harrison. Ar. My mom loves it so that’s where I go to buy it for Christmas.

Waffle House has it in fountains. There's a Kum and Go on I-44 down by Sarcoxie that has it in bottles. I've found it mostly in gas stations outside of Springfield, but not too far out. If you plan a trip to St Louis, stop by a Schnucks, and stock up.

I found some two litter bottles of it at the family dollar/dollar tree in Mansfield last month. Also a place called PC express in Ava Missouri sells 20 ounce bottles of it.

Mr. Pibb is a replica of Dr Pepper, but it’s a bullshit replica, because dude didn’t even get his degree. Why you gotta drop out of college and start making pop so soon? (RIP Mitch)

Tell her to go to Skaggs on Glenstone in the year 1987 - that was the last time and place I saw it anywhere in town.

I don't know where it can be found in bottles or cans. If a fountain drink will suffice, I think Pibb Xtra is in the majority of Freestyle machines (some have Dr. Pepper instead). I know that the AMC Springfield 11 Freestyle machines have Pibb, but I'm not sure about the other Freestyle machines in town.

I usually find drinks like that at Dollar General.

AMC theater also has it as a fountain drink. A cheap movie and Pibb Xtra; my perfect Tuesday evening.

Recent transplant from Joplin, the Walmart on Rangeline carries Pibb in cans and bottles. At least, it did a year ago.

Pita Pit still has it on fountain. Or at least the one on battlefield did until they started remodeling.
