I found the Coke, Fanta and Sprite I drank in South Africa to be very different from the same brands here. Can't speak for Dr. Pepper, because I never drank it until I came to Canada. Still... I fucking love Dr. Pepper!

Oh god, Dublin Dr. Pepper is so good. It makes me want to move back to texas just to be closer.

Afaik dr. Pepper is a franchise like coca cola or pepsi, so every (most) regions or countries have their local breweries doing their own coke/pepsi/dr.pepper. The essence comes from the franchise but sweetening and other stuff may vary.
I personally find imported (american) dr pepper much better than my local.

I rarely drink soft drinks/sodas/whateveryouwantotcall them, but when I do, it's Sprite.

I get that there would be local breweries, but since it's an international brand/product, shouldn't it be consistent? O_o

Same. I never even tried Dr Pepper, but then again I drink sodas like twice a year, tops.

They ship out the concentrate, but local water is added and maybe also other things as he said. Taste of Coke is definitely different according to some friends.

For me, no drink complements pizza better than Dr.Pepper. I can't really stand it by itself or with any other food. It's cool to hear that it tastes different in Europe. I've only had it in the US and Korea, and they taste the same.

Pretty much everyone I know IRL agrees that it tastes mainly like cherry. Nothing difficult about that. Personally though I think there's also a hint of bitter almond.
Anyway, DrPepper is easily my favourite soda.

Virgil's Dr. Better > Dr. Pepper I'm afraid. Virgil's root beer is my personal favorite, though. I'd be interested in trying a French Dr. Pepper though, since it seems like foreign sodas are always better than American ones ~_~

I went 16 years of hating Dr. Pepper. Then I went to an MLG and drank like 10 a day. Now I love it and will drink it whenever I see it.
|
Dr. Pepper is a pretty good drink, my third favourite. But my number one will always be Soda Mousse, or Cream Soda . And coming in second is Barq's root beer. YUM.
Of course you want to drink in moderation. To me it replaces the beer and wine everyone else drinks. I get to drink my amazingly delicious soft drink, while everyone else has their foul alcoholic beverages . I don't know what it is that people enjoy in it. Cream Soda tastes so much better than alcohol, and I don't lose brain cells drinking it!
|
fountain drink dr. pepper is pretty good, the canned stuff not so much.
and sugar is obviously superior to HFCS in general, but it's easier to find coke/pepsi with sugar than dr. pepper.
|
Dr.Pepper & crown ftw! Dr.Pepper is my go to soft drink lol.
|
Dr.Pepper soooooo good. I haven't tried other Dr.Peppers from the one I buy in Canada, though I suppose I'll make a mental note of it for the future to try it in other places when I visit them.
|
i honestly hate pop, really don't like carbonated beverages. Homemade fresh juice all the way
|
Regular soda makes my mouth/body feel terrible. I am addicted to diet coke however. I try to quit, but it always wins in the end.
I had a Dr. Pepper kick back when they sponsored MLG. But now I try to avoid soda.

clean sparkling mountain water for me please.

I love Root beer (Henry Weinhards) but it ravages my teeth, so I have it only on occasion ^_^
|
Dr. Pepper made with real cane sugar is the best. The normal isn't bad, but once you taste the cane sugar version, Dublin Dr. Pepper, you'll never go back.
