Dr. Pepper is my absolute favorite drink. There is nothing else that tastes like it.

Yes, it definitely has a flavor that's different from other sodas - kind of spicy?  It's one of the older soda recipes, I think...?

There is something in it that tastes like cherry to me.
1_Wizard
Yeah, I can imagine that it is a little cherry-ish.  My brother buys the kind without high fructose corn syrup.  I wonder if that actually tastes any different.

It does, it's not as good as the original but that is usually the case.

My brother is really into avoiding high fructose corn syrup because he's worried about it being bad for people (which it is, I suppose, but I'm not sure about it causing cancer like he thinks)!  I suppose it's worth having soda that tastes a little funky to him.

Yes, I suppose that makes a lot of sense. I was surprised to find out that Dr. Pepper was originated in Texas.

Me, too!  The only thing I associate with Waco, TX is that cult compound that had a standoff back in the 1990s.  I guess now I have something good about that town to think of...
