Dr Thunder is a brand of cola produced for Wal-Mart stores. It is canned by the Cott Corporation at facilities located throughout North America. In 2009, Wal-Mart notified Cott that it would no longer be the exclusive supplier of store-brand sodas for Wal-Mart stores.

Dr Thunder was originally called "Southern Lightning," but the name was changed to reflect the striking similarities to Dr Pepper. The label of Dr Thunder has recently been redesigned to say that "You've never been deep, until you've been Dr Thunder deep."

Other chains have Dr Pepper-like sodas, almost always with a "Dr." in the name to indicate its comparability to Dr. Pepper. For example, Dr. Bob can be found at Tops Friendly Markets,Dr. W' at Wegmans, Dr. K at Kroger, Dr. Skipper at Safeway Inc, Dr. M at Meijer,dr Perkyat Bloom and Dr. Bold at Albertsons LLC. Western Family Foodsused to produce a Dr. Fine under its Shurfine label, but it has been discontinued. Unlike most sodas, the beverage does not have a generally accepted generic name.
