    Dr. Pepper just plain smells funny. I don't drink anything that smells funny.

    Coca-Cola is my drink of choice, but I'll drink Sprite if there's some Belvedere hangin' around. :thumb:

    Coke and only Coke. No Diet. No Pepsi. No Sams Choice. No Dr. Pepper. No tea. But I do mix it with Crown, Rum or Vanilla Vodka on occasion.

    I only drink Sprite, 7up or Sierra Mist when I'm sick.

    I've often thought Dr. Pepper tastes like medicine.

    I prefer Dr. Pepper. It has a unique taste.

    You can get Dr. Pepper without high fructose corn syrup and with pure cane sugar from here.

    What exactly are the 23 flavors in Dr. Pepper? Pineapple? Vanilla? Chocolate? Prunes? :eek:

    It's because the black cherry flavor in Dr. Pepper is often also used to mask strong medicines in the US. Interestingly, in China, cola flavoring is often used in medicines and when Pepsi and Coke were first introduced after the Cultural Revolution, they were slow to catch on because they "tasted like medicine" to many Chinese.
