As does Cherry Vanilla
A nice change of pace

It's great! Kinda weird, but a welcome change from the blandness of most soft drinks.
It tastes like... marzipan. Spicey. What the heck is in it, anyway?
My girlfriend's brother brought me some from the far southern reaches of Portugal... we have a shitload of tourists there, so apparently some stores carry fancy foreign products.
I have another can. I'm saving it for a special occasion :)
OMG that is so funny, Dr. pepper is so ubiquitous in the USA, they had the absolute worst commercial on tv too, my favorite rap group RUN DMC were whoring themselves for this stuff and the commercial ended with a standard rundmc line only with the word dr. pepper instead of jam master jay at the end, which is incredibly lame considering JMJ was murdered around the time of the commercial, so utterly crass...

TAB was owned by Coke .. so it eventually got crowded out by Diet Coke .. though they coexisted for a time.

It was .. basically .. Diet Coke lol .. from those days.

Adages; Dr Pepper has dead man shilling: It's like that and that's the way it is
Advertising Age, December, 2002 by Richard Linnett


Byline: Richard Linnett

Jam Master Jay, the MC in the old-school rap group Run-DMC, who was fatally shot last month in Queens, may make a posthumous appearance in a Dr Pepper commercial, according to a Madison Ave. insider. Following the shooting, which remains unsolved, Joseph Simmons, a.k.a. Run, announced in a New York Times article that the band was ``retired'' and that an endorsement deal between the group and Dr Pepper would be dropped. ``We had an endorsement deal with Dr Pepper,'' Run told the Times. ``We can't make those commercials now.''

Hey, I'm a meat-eating Californian that likes her soda untampered with! Remember kids, Hollywood is in California, but California is not Hollywood. Look around your neighborhood... anyone you see, you'll find someone just like them in California.

I love love love Dr Pepper (and yes, there is no period after the Dr), and the new Cherry Vanilla isn't bad. But I wanna know why they don't have Vanilla Dr Pepper without the cherry stuff? There are some old-timey restaurants around that add vanilla to the fountain drinks on request, and with Dr Pepper it is just fantastic.

I always found Cheerwine a little too sickly sweet to be enjoyable. I've went through a couple cases of it in my life, and never really changed my mind. It's good, but I can only finish about half a can before I feel like my teeth are about to rot from the sugar overload.

I do like flaming Dr Peppers though -- curiously enough there is no Dr Pepper in them.

We don't get Mountain Dew here anymore, or at least I don't see it :mad:


See on the ingredients where it says "brominated vegetable oil?" (also in most orange and citrus sodas)

... Good luck with that. X_X

Oh hell ya Loki! Dublin Dr. Pepper is even better than regular Dr. Pepper!

http://www.dublindrpepper.com


I am such a Dr. Pepper afficianado, a couple of years ago I actually ordered a couple of cases of "real" Dr. Pepper from the Dublin TX store. It was well worth the insane amount of money. Here is what I had to say on another message board at the time:

From: someone
When it first rolls onto your tongue, it's not all that different from the stuff you can buy in the rest of the world. It's better, but not so much better that you can't live without the regular kind.

The difference comes in after you swallow it. The aftertaste. Oh my god, the aftertaste. Regular DP leaves your mouth quickly, gives your mouth a bit of a stale taste, and you need another drink soon after. With this Real DP, with Imperial Cane Sugar instead of nasty old corn syrup, the aftertaste goes on and on and gets better by the second, kind of like a multiple orgasm. My mouth feels like it is bursting with the essence of cherries and vanilla. It stays with you for several minutes. And when it finally fades, there is not a bit of staleness to it. It is heavenly.

I feel like a woman who has finally had a lover who has ruined her for any other man.

Didn't someone earlier in the thread say you can only get the sugar kind from Mexico?

Fun listing/ranking of Dr. Pepper wannabes.

I myself have taken to the unstably long named Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
