UPDATE: July 23rd 2015: A new SmartSource coupon flyer is out this week (typically distributed with your local free newspaper & some paid subscription papers) and it may include a coupon for "SAVE $2 when you buy 2x 2L or 1x 12-pack 355mL cans of Schweppes Dark Ginger Ale". Hold on to it, and when Pepsi 2L products go on special for $1 (or less) each, as they occasionally do, buy 2x 2L bottles at that price and use the coupon to get the products free (not including tax). This coupon expires October 31st 2015.

Schweppes in Canada is a brand owned by Canada Dry Mott's, but PepsiCo bottles and distributes it here and is also responsible for Schweppes sales and promotional specials, in conjunction with retailers. That explains why Schweppes products are typically included in PepsiCo promotions - such as a grocery flyer advertising "Pepsi Products, 2L = $1ea", though the actual selection of brands included may be dependent on the retailer chain/store manager and I assume specific territory. Just be aware of that if attempting to price-match, as there is no mention of "PepsiCo" anywhere on Schweppes bottles/cans. Don't expect a cashier to know!

Original December 2014 post:
There's a new soft drink product from Schweppes called "DARK Ginger Ale".
I've tried it and it's pretty good! My first impression was that it is less fizzy, sweeter and smoother than 'regular' Schweppes Ginger Ale.
EDIT: If you go to [post=20972171]Post #50[/post] in this thread, you can read my head-to-head comparison taste-test results.
A rather poorly written and poorly proof-read press release about the new product was published on December 15th. Newsflash: "bold" and "dark" are flavours (huh?), and both are trending! (double huh?!) : [Source]
Canada Dry Mott's Press Release, Dec 15 2014 wrote:Schweppes introduces new Dark Ginger Ale packed with a darker, richer flavour
