Dr Pepper maker fills out 10-calorie lineup

NEW YORK (AP) — When it comes to the calories in diet soda, Dr Pepper thinks 10 is the new zero.

The drinks are an extension of Dr Pepper Ten, which was launched last year as a better-tasting alternative for men who don’t like the image or taste of diet soda.
