It's dece.

Would prefer it as a chaser with my liquor instead of coca-cola.

 

[XenoRaven]

Dr. Pepper is good but Mr. Pibb is better.

 

[Amory]

Dr. Pepper is pretty great. And the Diet variety tastes a lot like regular soda, which is a nice bonus

 

[Yen]

On the similar vein (kinda), I wish you could find root beer at reasonable prices in the UK. I can find 300ml bottles of Bunderberg for £1.50 each, which is extortionate.

 

[massoluk]

Best Soda, but I understand if you have bad taste. I forgive you.

 

[QualityPixel]

Dr. Pepper is my favorite. That is all.

 

[Gotchaye]

Worst thing about living in Germany is that I can't find Diet or Ten, only regular.

 

[dallow_bg]

Have you tried it boiling hot?

You don't need a recipe to heat Dr. Pepper, but for, what it's worth, the Dr. Pepper website suggests heating the soda to 180 degrees in a stovetop saucepan, then pouring it over a thin slice of lemon (thin is key—the lemon can become overpowering quickly) before enjoying. If you can get your hands on glass-bottled, sugar-sweetened Dr. Pepper, you'll be glad you did.

I've asked for rootbeer at a couple different restaurants and gotten Dr. Pepper. At this point it's just rootbeer that's trying its hardest to not be rootbeer to me. w/e

 

[nullset2]

Dr. Pepper is the drink of choice of the real intellectuals. The true chosen ones!

It's just that good, OP. But it's so elite you can't expect everyone to get it, sadly.

 

[Kjellson]

Beats me.

Dr. Pepper sucks.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Dr. Pepper is good, Dr. Pepper Cherry is great

Cherry Vanilla Pibb from Coke Remix machines is the GOAT

 

[RunningRiot]

If I get soda, I usually drink Mt. Dew, but I'll have a Dr. Pepper every now and again to mix it up.

 

[Hollycat]

It's the greatest soda.

 

[Ashodin]

It tastes like an expired cough syrup. It's horrible. I would rather die of thirst in sahara desert than sip this abomination from satan's anus.

Gotta get that sugar based Dr. Ppr fam.

what? they're completely different sodas...

 

[Mr Waluigi]

Dr Pepper tasts like cotton candy mixed with water.

It's way, way too sweet. I only drink it if there's no other soda available.

 

[QualityPixel]

Bunderberg is delicious. It's expensive here in Utah also, so I don't buy it very often.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

It is Dr Pepper not Dr. Pepper.

And it is great.

 

[redmetal86]

Because it's a doctor! Look at those credentials!

 

[User 479360]

I don't drink it very often, but it's nice for a change. It tastes pretty good, and I'm not even a big root beer fan, which is similar in some ways.

I drink way too much Coca Cola.

 

[Messofanego]

Worst thing about living in Germany is that I can't find Diet or Ten, only regular.

Why go for less taste?

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Because people have different tastes?

 

[old]

I've seen numerous times the Japanese describe Dr Pepper as tasting like medicine. That makes me want to find out what the fuck Japanese medicine tastes like. Because over here in freedom land NyQuil tastes like green death.

 

[DJ_Lae]

I enjoy it, although it comes second to Coke for me.

The best part about Dr. Pepper is that when the waitress goes "is Pepsi okay?" you can just ask for Dr. Pepper instead, because holy fuck no Pepsi is not okay.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I hate Dr. Pepper too, OP. It's like bottom tier refreshment, just between Sprite and 7-up.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Only after watching The Knick (S01E06) did I find out that it really was considered as a (quack) medicine back in the early 1900s and that soda was considered to be a cure for a lot of things.

It's amazing how sugary sodas have been able to hang on well into the post-FDA area, on the basis of absolutely nothing.

 

[Kisaya]

Because it's delicious gtfo OP with that cough syrup shit.

I don't drink it anymore because I gave up soda ;(

 

[InsanerBrainer]

23 flavors of crack.

 

[Chuckl3s]

23 flavors of Satan's anus.

Fixed!

Spoiler

I love DP

[Sinatar]

It was a dark day when this ambrosia was discontinued.

 

[mcfizzle4]

Dr. Pepper from a can/bottle is the best pop ever.

Dr. Pepper from a soda fountain is flat and terrible.

 

[Wheeljack539]

But what's really frightening is that, if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.

...

It's insidious.

 

[Samimista]

I don't drink it regularly, but it would be my favorite soda due to its taste. That and Fanta I love.

 

[T-Rex.]

Because it's damn good.

 

[Coolluck]

Maybe if you tried drinking Dr Pepper instead you would know what the fuck is up.

 

[Aselith]

It was a dark day when this ambrosia was discontinued.

Discontinued? We still have it at my job in the vending machine and it gets restocked all the time. Maybe a regional thing?

 

[nillah]

 

[Halcyon]

I have been known to drink this:

I enjoy it.

[LCGeek]

I've licked satan's anus it's not that tasty.

I like Dr.Pepper more than Coke or pepsi, I rarely drink any of those 3 as I love and tend to drink 7up/Sprite/Ginger Ale when I actually drink soda.

 

[Samimista]

Dr. Pepper is good but Mr. Pibb is better.

I've been wanting to try Mr. Pibb, but I can never find it.

 

[Alchemy]

I think it tastes good. People have different opinions on things, how strange.

 

[Hex]

Hey guys, my opinion is obviously superior to yours and now I will tack on some hyperbole to stress my point in an edgy way.

 

[Phu]

Dr Pepper is in the top 3 beverages in the world.

 

[yamo]

It tastes like an expired cough syrup. It's horrible. I would rather die of thirst in sahara desert than sip this abomination from satan's anus.

You make it sound like sipping something from Satan's anus is a good thing.

It's my preferred soda btw.

 

[Violence Jack]

I'll take Cheerwine over Cherry Dr. Pepper any day of the week.

But I have to admit that Dr. Pepper mixed with rum is pretty good the rare times that I do drink.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Best drink ever. I would be surprised if I haven't drunk a few thousand gallons of DP in my life.

 

[psylah]

I'm bout dat 10-2-4 life
