Its it my beverage of choice when I cruise the soda aisle. The diet is pretty good too. It is the only diet soda that is very close to the non-diet version.

I was told that it tastes like a cherry coke. Not the one in the can but the one you could get at a soda shop. Well my first Dr. Pepper was my last Dr. Pepper. No way did it taste like a cherry coke. Yuck. Prune juice.

Heck Yeah!  A Cherry Coke is a Cherry Coke.  That's some good stuff right there.  But Dr. Pepper tasting like Cherry Coke.  NO FREAKIN' WAY!

It makes me think of that scene from National Lampoon's Vacation.  The very first one where the daughter of "Cousin Eddie" stirs the cool aid with her whole arm.

I get a craving for one periodically but my daughter is a Dr. Pepper FREAK!! Personally to me it usually tastes like cough syrup.

Only had Dr Pepper a couple of times, and can't remember what it tastes like: sort of vanilla like...or like Dandelion and Burdock...Not my favourite taste

[time2shine]

I never heard about the "Dr Pepper tasting like prune juice" phenomenon.  Sounds like it's experiment time.
off to the lab!

I have been told that crown and Dr Pepper is a great drink. I have yet worked up the nerve to ruin a perfectly good shot of crown, but may try it someday.

And another note.... the cherry coke you get in a can just don't cut it. My aunt worked in a soda shop when I was a kid and she would make a real one with the syrup and put a cherry in it. It has to be freshly mixed or it loses its pizazz!

In grad school we did a blind taste test.  We had Sam's Cola, Coca-Cola, Pepsi One, and one other, I think it was Pepsi.  Out of six or so tasters, only one got it right.  The most common mistake was confusing Sam's and Coke.  The drinks were not cold, which could have made a difference.  But the point was the they all basically taste the same.  Most of what makes it taste different is knowing that it's different.

Oh, and down here everything is called Coke.  "I want a Coke."  "What kind?"  "Dr. Pepper."
