It's actually not bad--I got it for free with a coupon. It tastes like Big K Diet Cherry Cola, which goes on sale for about 50 cents a two-liter every once and a while, so there's gonna have to be a good sale of this Dr. Pepper stuff for me to pay cash money for it!

There's no period after the "Dr" in Dr Pepper.
Truth. Look at the can / bottle.

3. It was a sad day when I found out Dr Pepper is owned by The Carlyle Group |
|
and I had to stop buying it. I am waiting for a less evil company to buy them back.

4. I was going to ask "why"? |

But you apparently like it. :-)
I do like Diet Dr. Pepper....I just can't imagine the cherry and vanilla, though.

Wait, no I won't. Jeff Gannon is probably trying to give it away these days, and I ain't touching that!

The mere though of diet makes me gag. They can stick to that story all they want to, but diet is diet and I refuse to diet. I'm only 125 lbs. anyhow.

|
...sort of like drinking the regular now...that's way too much sugar than what I'm used to!

In New Orleans, some people drink Dr Pepper with crushed maraschino cherries mixed in. They say it makes it taste like a defunct N'Awlins soft drink called Doctor Nutt, which Dr Pepper may (or may not) have been patterned on.

26. Christ, it's been a long time... |
|
I was there back in the 1970s...you could ask for it that way back then. But then again, that was before Mardi Gras became primarily a slutfest for college girls, so this may have changed as well.
Though I sure could use a Central grocery muffaletta right about now.
