GarethRDR Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Would happily replace my blood with Dr Pepper (I must be well on the way, I'm probably about 50/50 at the moment anyways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's my favourite. Liquified marzipan. YumI don't get this. I LOVE marzipan, but I hate Dr Pepper - and I don't think it tastes anything like marzipan. In fact I was surprised to see somebody hated it but loved cherry Coke; they seem very similar to me - that artificial chemical cherry taste (which is nothing like real cherries). Red Bull is in the same nasty ballpark. I'm sure when I was a kid I was given medicine that tasted exactly like it. Horrible. There's definitely an almond taste to it, hence why 'Dr Pepper' style cocktails always use Amaretto as a base. I quite like Dr Pepper but it's got a weird after taste. I seriously love Cherry Coke, maybe it's a reminder of when I was young, but I can't get enough of the stuff, even if deep down I know it's sugary crap.

MMFy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Why call it Doctor pepper? It's not called Doctor Pepper though. It's just Dr Pepper. If it was Doctor it would need a full stop after the Dr to indicate it is an abbreviation of doctor. **** corporations, syntactically spasticated alphabetical fuckpigs.

VillaAlex Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Love it, although only at room temperature. Cold it loses its flavour and warm it tastes vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted February 3, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2011 **** corporations, syntactically spasticated alphabetical fuckpigs. I'm not normally that keen on sweary postings, but this one is an exception. Most excellent. As for the fizzy drink - no. Gahhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Why does Dr. Pepper come in a bottle? Because it's more fun than using a tissue. I say old bean, I think we've seen this somewhere before! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried it the first thing I thought was 'this tastes like marzipan' and that has always remained. In fact when people question the taste I say it tastes like marizpan and they say 'you're right! it surely does' You must be drinking it wrong. Sorry man.

Brumerican Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I bought a bottle of this today simply because this thread had put the idea into my subconscious mind I guess. Anyway, I like the taste but I've noticed that the more I drink it the thirstier it makes me. It has a real dry aftertaste . Doesn't come close to Mountain Dew though which is back in the shops again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It does taste slightly like cough medicine. When I was a kid I swear it didn't. But as I have gotten older it seems to. I will still drink it if it's my only option.....or a choice between it, Pepsi, or Mountain Dew. I hate both of those. I looooooove Root Beer, *not Ginger Beer btw* and Sunkist.

veloman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have been getting bad muscle cramp in my legs, especially after 3 hours on bike or a race. Went to Docs and he suggested drinking Dr Pepper. Does it have quinine in it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
