No, this isn't advertising/spam, but yes, I do love Dr Pepper.
I recently discovered (mere days ago) the deliciousness of FRENCH Dr Pepper, which is delicious.
To my surprise, there is quite a significant difference in Dr Pepper flavours around the world.
English Dr Pepper and Japanese Dr Pepper taste pretty much the same. American Dr Pepper is not very nice in comparison, although I can't remember specifically how it is worse, since I only had it twice and that was 6 months ago (US Dr Pepper with HFCS)
But recently a local shop imported some French Dr Pepper instead of English, and it's much sweeter and smoother and fruitier than English/Japanese, despite having less sugar.
People say it's hard to explain what Dr Pepper tastes like, but it's even harder when you realise not all Dr Pepper is created equal.
For those of you who haven't tried it, or who have tried US Dr Pepper, try some other Dr Pepper, it's delicious.
Anyone else tried different Dr Peppers?

a lot of drinks are actually tweaked to local/regional tastes. companies do do research into that.

As far as I know I've only had U.S. Dr Pepper, though even so I have found sometimes it seems a lot better than others. It is a mysterious creation.

If you like Dr. Pepper, you should try Disaronno & Ginger Ale/Beer.

Coca Cola is also pretty different between countries here in Europe, for example i find portuguese coca cola way better than spanish cola because ours is way less sugary.
Also never had a Dr Pepper in my life, here we only have Cola and Pepsi

I was once at a Burger King here in the states and on their fountain drink machine they had little bios of all the sodas, and what they paired well with, as if Burger King were a fine wine restaurant.
The Dr. Pepper one read really strange to me, it spoke of notes of fruit. I consider myself a fairly avid soda drinker and I had never thought anything of Dr. Pepper other than an alternative cola, fruit never came into the picture.
Fast forward a year when I'm in England and I buy a Dr. Pepper. Now this English one, its got those fruit notes, its like an entirely different drink! I really thought it was because of the natural sugar, somehow the artificial sugar was overtaking the fruit flavor in the American version. But about 6 months later they came out with "classic" Dr. Pepper in America with natural sugar, but that did little to change the taste.
I really miss that English Dr. Pepper.

I can't speak for Dr. Pepper (which I love btw, but can only buy in a select few countries) but like someone above said, Coca-Cola tastes different in every country.
In Poland it's pretty sweet, so I prefer to buy Pepsi here, but in France or Belgium I prefer Cola-Cola over Pepsi.
I heard it's mostly due to regional water taste, but it could also be due to % of sugar and other things.

Coke and Dr Pepper best sodas. :3

Dr. Pepper. You make the world taste better 
I once combined Crown Royal and Dad's Root Beer. The result tasted a lot like Dr. Pepper. Needless to say, I drank way too much of it.

Would never have pegged that, but I don't know about that shady Junkie character that lurks around here.

Probably 2 years ago they release like an anniversary addition of dr. pepper that had real sugar. It was soooo ridiculously good tasting, and its a shame they don't do it anymore
At MLG they were handing out back-packs full of dr. pepper, and there was no water around. That's kind of kept me from drinking it for the past year or so.

Oblig.
Doctor Who?
I don't think you can find a single can of this in Spain. Unless it's in the bag of some american tourist xD
|
I don' t like that much soft drinks. Dr pepper i tried once was pretty bad tbh. I prefer orange juice or other fruit juices or alcool. And sparkly water is cool too.
EDIT: also its best if the fruit juices are without sugar in them.
