If Diet Dr. Pepper tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper, why bother selling the one that's worse for us? Are there consumers that demand the calories? We wouldn't need healthful alternatives if producers only made stuff that's good for us.
In case you would like to ask them yourself, you can call up 1-888-DR-PEPPER. In addition to talking to a customer service representative, you can listen to prerecorded answers to some of their frequently asked questions. I'll save you a call by answering their number 1 FAQ here: no, Dr. Pepper does not contain prune juice. Now you know!
