Dr. Pepper is possibly my second favorite beverage behind the mighty Coca-Cola.  RC is good too, as is Hawaiian Punch. 
Of the bygone drinks, this is the one I miss most..

I don't think anyone has mentioned this concoction yet:

You know, I don't think I like the political direction this thread is heading toward. Could we stop it please?

I like Big Red. At least I did when I still drank sugar. I was the only person I knew who did though.

My favorite Dr Pepper knock-off was Dr. Slice, which seems to have disappeared forever. I actually preferred it to regular Dr Pepper.

It's funny, I never really drank Dr Pepper growing up in Alaska. When I moved to Arizona I made the switch and never really looked back. Maybe it's something about hot climes.

Anyway, I'm strictly on the diet soda these days. I usually pick Diet Dr Pepper if I can't get any Pepsi Max.

And remember Dr Pepper has no period after Dr. I guess it's not a real degree.

I like Dr. Pepper but my favorite soda is Mexican Coke-a-cola. Its made with real sugar and corn syrup, so it tastes way better, plus its in glass bottles. Some one told me that DR. Pepper comes this way to but apparently not here in wisconsin Bluesad

One of these days I need to buy a Pibb and Dr Pepper, drink them side by side, and find out once and for all which I like best!

Do you have MOXIE in South Africa?  It is the worst carbonated beverage known to man.  Tastes like bitter medicine.






Moxie is regional.  You won't find it outside of a relatively small geographic area (maybe 4 or 5 states?).  By the way, that's actually where the term moxie comes from - as in, "That kid's a fighter; he's got a lot of moxie."  You don't hear it too often nowadays, though.

I believe Mr. Pibb is quite rare, and usually we have Pibb Xtra.  Quite common here in Missouri.  It does taste different than Dr. Pepper, but very similar.

Also, as far as root beer goes, there is a HUGE variety of American root beers (I'd guess there are hundreds of types, possibly over 1000).  There are local and regional varieties in practically every locale of a high enough population - and there's a pretty big divergence in flavors.  The St. Louis local brand is Fitz's, which I believe is only made in one location.  It's delicious, and not too expensive at around 75 cents per 12 ounce glass bottle.

The only regional bottler left that still manufactures Dr Pepper made with sugar is in Dublin, Texas. The plant is pretty neat--they have an old-fashioned soda shop where they still actually mix Dr Pepper when you order it (i.e., put ice in a cup, spoon some syrup into the cup, and then put in the carbonated water). You can get sandwiches and ice cream floats there as well, and all manner of Dr Pepper collectibles. They also sell Dr Pepper in glass bottles, but unfortunately they are the 8-oz. bottles rather than the older style 16-oz. variety, so just as you get the taste settled in your mouth properly, the bottle is empty. And they're rather expensive, so I at least can't really afford to drink multiple bottles at a sitting. As soon as I can, I plan to go back (it's about 5-6 hours away) and take the plant tour--they will actually take you through the process of mixing and bottling the soda. Then I need to make it to Waco, the birthplace of Dr Pepper, and get to the Dr Pepper museum. I may be a little bit of a Dr Pepper geek...

THIS is the nastiest soft drink known to man:

-Ed


I bought some Big Red soda, but did not mentally associate it with the cinnamon gum. I guessed it was going to be cherry or fruit punch or something else fruity.  Lookingup It was...HORRIBLE!  Bluesad
This exact thing happened to me and worse... I was stuck on a bus from Nacogdoches on a hot day, with this AWFUL drink being my only refreshment, for four hours.  Oh, I was not pleased.
