Everybody knows that Dr. Pepper is one of the few carbonated drinks synonymous with online gaming, so a new deal by Keurig may make its upcoming Keurig Cold machine a winner in the make-it-yourself beverage market.

The normally coffee-focused company has reached an exclusive deal that will let you make some of the Dr. Pepper Snapple group’s drinks when the SodaStream rival launches this Autumn; and while no specific brands have yet been mentioned, if the two in the company’s name don’t appear then something is seriously messed up in the world. Add to this Keurig’s deal with Coca-Cola last year, and we’re seriously disappointed that Pepsi signed with SodaStream preventing us from enjoying the perfect trifecta of gamer fuel drinks. Let’s just hope that the create-your-own recipes taste at least recognisably similar to the real things, so we can forget all the generic recipes likely to be released for it as well.
