Dr. Pepper ~ A-OK or NO WAY?

rustee — Sat, 11 Feb 2017 18:38:50 GMT

NO WAY!

I drank it only once. At the end of a tour at the United Nations building I took decades ago, we were given the opportunity to buy snacks from vending machines. What appeared to be a cola & root beer combo was terrible.

@rustee I've had it a few times years ago and I liked it ok. I don't really drink soda much except for a diet rite occasionally.

A-OK ... I don't drink a lot of pop, but I do like Diet Dr. Pepper.

I can't stand it. I'd have to be stranded in the desert in order to drink it willingly.

Dr. Pepper is my absolute favorite soda. I like Pepsi, not Coke, and I'll drink a root beer of any brand, But if I buy a soda, I always choose a Dr. Pepper. I don't drink diet soda, so I'm only speaking in favor of regular Dr. Pepper.

I don't keep soda in the house, only drink it if I'm at fast food or somewhere like that.

I do know that people either love the taste or hate it! But I'm glad the question was asked.

Diet Dr. Pepper was my favorite way back when I still drank such things. I haven't had a soda of any kind in over 15 years.

A-OK with me. For a true southern tradition, float peanuts on top of a glass of ice cold Dr. Pepper.

Ugh -- NO WAY. Add to that Tab and Fresca. I'd sooner drink toilet water. LOL

@LonestarBabs What an interesting, albeit peculiar, tradition! I love to hear what people in various parts of the country do! I'm especially taken with southern traditions. Thanks for sharing!

I don't like dr. Pepper or any other pop drink.I used to drink it when I was young but haven't had one in 40 years or more.

I took a sip of it once many years ago. It was awful.

Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke/Pepsi taste like medicine to me.

No.....don't like it.

I Love it but gave up all soft drinks because of the sugar and artificial sweetners are bad for you.

No Way, I don't drink a lot of softdrinks and thought Dr Pepper was too sweet for me

I don't think I have ever tried it.

I've never had the urge to try it. The name puts me off

I pretty much can't stand the taste of any soda (call it pop here) anymore.

An occasional root beer or Sprite (maybe a couple of times a year) is it for me now.

When I do have a soda, which isn't all that often, I like Pepsi, root beer, cream soda, Dr. Pepper.

Dr. P -- My favorite cola-type soda!

I drank it only once...about a fourth of a can just to try to figure out what that flavor is. What is it supposed to be? It was awful!
