nasty. but i miss the cherry vanilla so much i was willing to give this a shot.
in grade school someone gave me a chocolate scented eraser.
it kind of reminds me of that. perfectly good cherry dr pepper
with that sickly fake chocolate scent attached.

at first i just smelled the cherry and drank a couple big gulps.
but then there was that faint fake smell. oh well, i thought...
i can deal with that if i get cherry dr pepper again.

second try. oh. can definitely smell the chocolate now.
and if you burp it comes back on you a second time! i muddled through
half a can and then tried to mix the remainder with some open pomegranate
drink in the fridge. now i have something that tastes like cough syrup.
oh yeah and there was this weird film on the top. perhaps it came from the
glass or from the open drink i don't know. in order to check it out i would
have to open another can of this stuff and i don't wanna.

someone's head needs to roll at dr pepper. first that creme crap and now chocolate crap?
just give me back diet cherry vanilla please!!

aww damn i had high hopes cause regular diet taste pretty good.

I couldn't get past the idea of chocolate in my diet dr. pepper

I didn't like the vanilla cherry either

Why can't they just make a cherry diet dr.pepper???

try using vanilla and cherry flavoured syrups (like the kind used for coffees - torani or monin are good brands for which to look and are usually easy to find), and mixing those into diet dr pepper. it may take a bit of experimenting and adjusting, but youll likely hit on an acceptable recreation of the original CVDrP.

I love Dr Pepper
you should just try it...Whats the worst that could happen?

i had to put the rest of the can down the drain
but even the smell of the empty glass was offending me lol

thank you willy. wonderful suggestion.
it wasn't even the vanilla i miss. i just didn't mind that mix.
so perhaps i will just try cherry.




oh and sammi lol i had just nicely forgotten all about that damn song!

I just don't get the whole cherry Dr. Pepper thing. I mean...Dr. Pepper is already cherry-flavored.

I like the new Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper.

chocolate sodas do not work.

and with a strong, distinct tasting soda like dr. pepper, why do they think it's a good idea to add a bunch of flavors on top of it????

this sounds nasty. i tried that berry creme bullshit they squonked out recently and it tasted like cherry nyquil. NAST.

if you lived a bit closer michael i would gladly send these 11 cans over to you! lol i guess someone out there has to like it otherwise it wouldn't have made it to market.

Anxiety said:

OK, the berry shit was HEINOUS!

i couldn't bring myself to try the berries and creme crap.
i don't know what made me think the chocolate cherry stuff would work

does anyone remember canfield's DIET PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE SODA???

now there was no reason for that. no excuse at all. it was swamp in a can.

emm said:

Emm, it will disolve your innards. For real

Anxiety said:

canfields has made a few different variations of chocolate sodas; i think ive encountered maybe one person - ever - who admitted to liking them. ive tasted the chocolate fudge version and then gagged.

i have heard the chocolate sodas can be pretty good when used to make floats and other drinks.

WillyWonka said:

that's understandable. i've had fountain sodas with chocolate syrup and they were pleasant enough. still, i believe some things simply aren't meant to be chocolate flavored: case in point, chocolate flavored gum.

Anxiety said:

oh i agree. chocolate as a flavour doesnt translate well to absolutely anything and everything.

have you ever tried chocolate beer, or chocolate pasta or chocolate cheese?

WillyWonka said:

i've tried dark beers with traces of chocolate, and they're delicious.

chocolate pasta? ummm, no.

i've had cheese with sweets in the past (mainly the good ol' fruit'n'cheese combo), but i can't think of a time when i've had a chocolate/cheese combo.

I had a gross soft drink on Sunday, called Portino. I could only manage a couple of sips

this whole thread is nasty

Dr. Pepper is nasty anyway. isn't kinda cherryish anyway? who tests these prototypes before they go out?

the worse is that Diet Peanut butter and chocolate soda that Anx mentioned

heybaby said:

oh dang, i LOOOOVE dr. pepper - but i love it because it has such a distinct flavor. why would i want a variation of something that i drink because it's alraedy a variation from regular soda?

dr. pepper already has kind of a spicey/berry-ish taste, sure. i used to hear that people boiled dr. pepper and drank it hot in the old timey days. does anyone know if that's true???

Anxiety said:

oh no i hope not

Anxiety said:

true! you just boil the soda in a saucepan, then pour it into a mug over a slice of lemon.

WillyWonka said:

ew.

it is supposed to cure anything?
