Full Version: Dr. Pepper
Over the past year or so I have decided that Dr. Pepper is probably the single greatest taste of anything, ever. Dr. Pepper soda. Dr. Pepper jellybean. Dr. Pepper feces. It doesn't matter. If it tastes like Dr. Pepper, it is undoubtedly delicious.

Wikipedia let me down. Here's all it says:
"Soda fountain flavors" of the time prolly included grape, cherry, lemon, lime, sarsaparilla, mung bean...Anyone live near Dublin, Tx? Musicgurl...?
but lets not forget how great dr pepper lip smackers is as well.
I forgot all about that! I used that stuff religiously for about 10 years, too.

Unlike Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Dr Pepper is not marketed as a cola. Dr Pepper's flavor is allegedly derived from a mixture of soda fountain flavors popular when the drink was first devised. A partial list of these flavors can be seen at the bottling plant in Dublin, Texas; although the formula itself (with its twenty-three ingredients) is a closely-guarded secret. Contrary to a popular urban legend, Dr Pepper does not and never has contained prune juice. [1] In Texas, Dr Pepper is extremely competitive in the soft drink market, regularly outselling Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

i was once on a road trip thru Texas and we made a point of stopping at the dr pepper museum in Waco. it was sunday and they were closed. very sad, instead we went over to the Branch

I've wondered what was in dr pepper too. it's got a unique kind of licorice taste to it,
but it isn't licorice. maybe it's the sasparilla.

Dublin, Tx, is West & a little South of Dallas/Fort Worth, not near Musicgurl. I'll ask around on another board if anyone's been there.
Never liked Dr. Pepper.

What's the connection between the Beatles and Dr Pepper?
It sounds pretty obvious once you know it, but I never would have guessed until someone pointed it out to me: The original title of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band -- one of the Beatles' most popular albums (and consequently one of the most popular albums period) -- was Dr. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band! Wild, huh? When I asked the fine folks at rec.music.beatles for confirmation, Jim Demes wrote me on September 29, 1998:
According to BEATLESONGS by William J. Dowlding: "The album was originally titled Dr. Pepper's...until the Beatles realized an American soft-drink company had rights to that name." Dowlding got his info from THE BEATLES A TO Z. (1980)
Whether or not the Beatles were fully acquainted with the soft drink before they began work on Sgt. Pepper is still subject to debate. But bottles of Dr Pepper have been spotted in the Let It Be movie, so they had definitely seen the light by then. Imagine what else might have been if only a few letters hadn't changed . . .

list of imitation dr. pepper drinks
"Mr. Pibb is a poor imitation of Dr. Pepper. Dude didn't even get his degree."
I had this five years ago in Springfield and have longed for it every day since.
i drank half of a can of dr. pepper tonight. it seemed like a good idea when i opened it. by the time i'd walked a block to my friend's house with said can of soda, i felt nauseous.
when i was a kid, one of my cousins used to get a big gulp cup at 7-11 and mix every flavor of soda available. come to think of it, it wasn't too far off from dr. pepper.
code red mountain dew is where it's at these days. i could probably drink four or five of those in a row. i'd pay for it later, but damn they're good.

It's all about the Dublin Dr. Pepper, which is made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar, not high fructose cornshit. My former employer had this stuff in the free vending machine (which cost the company $1.00/can), but most of the employees under the age of 30 haven't tasted soda made with real sugar and thus hated it because they thought it tasted too sweet. Dublin Dr. Pepper can be ordered here.

Dr. Pepper is the greatest tasting thing that has ever been created. It is the most wonderous of wonders and probably the primary reason I will always have difficulty accepting beer as the primary beverage of my existence.

Dr. Pepper...the taste of my youth. Probably at its best right out of the can, yes. I still go for Mr. Pibb when I see it on the fountain display though.

That is way too much Code Red Mountain Dew. Nothing but sugar and sicknastiness. One a week is all I could ever do, if that.
And last night I went to fill up on some cheap $3.08 gas at the local 7-11 when I noticed they had Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper in SLURPEE form!!! Needless to say, I freaked the fuck out and got one. Initially, it was the most amazing Slupree flavor I ever had based alone on it being Dr. Pepper. But then, as all Slurpees do, this one got melty towards the end and wound up being a pool of awkward flavored sugar water. Not a good ending to a great beginning of a story.

so, did anyone figure out what the special ingredients are? i don't feel like reading this thread entirely. someone once told me, when i was a kid, that the secret ingredient was seaweed. i went a while without ever drinking dr. pepper. and i don't drink it too often now, but when i do, oh boy that's a good time.

oh, and HD, i think you would really enjoy my own personal favourite soft drink, moxie. it's super hard to find in the midwest, but so so worth it.
I've found several of the ingredients: Lactic Acid (what gives yogurt it's tanginess), Vanillin (an artificial Vanilla, or chemical flavoring extracted from Vanilla Extract.), Almond Extract, Orange Oil & denatured Rum (alcohol removed).
Supposedly if you ask about these they'll deny that there's Rum (denatured Rum is just Rum Flavoring, so I guess that's technically correct) or artificial Vanilla (Probably another quibble indefinition, there's Ethyl & Methyl Vanillin, Methyl Vanillin is usually defined as Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin isn't. Also Vanillin can be extracted from real Vanilla Extract).

That's so rude! Reminds me of my friend's fiancee who came over for a visit and wouldn't sit down. She just stood near the door for 20 minutes like we had leprosy or something. She wouldn't take a drink from us, either.
