In Flight drinks-Pibb on the outs?

I remember when CO served Dr.Pepper and the diet version. Then a few months ago I noticed someone ordering Mr.Pibb, now called Pibb extra. I don't drink tea or coffee so if I need a caffeine boost in the morning I always ask for the Pibb. Last week on 3 of 4 flights they were out of Pibb. When I asked for the drink while waiting to take off, the FA told me that he hadn't had Pibb onboard for awhile. I did finally get a glass on a return flight from IAH-DTW, and those FAs had no problem finding me a can.

If there are any other Pibb Extra or Mr.Pibb drinkers out there, I'm wondering how often Pibb is being served, and if anyone has heard that it is being phased out. I sure hope not, I still haven't forgiven CO for taking away my Diet Dr.Pepper!
