Sorry for the repeat; there was not "don't like pop"-tion in the original.

I love Dr. Pepper. I hate diet pop (it all tastes like mouldering turps, IMO), and combining the pruniness of the old Doc with cherry and vanilla just seems de trop.

[thebitterguy]

Eh. De gustibus non est disputandum. I tolerate Diet Pop because I hope to one day be able to admire my shoes without taking them off.

... but Justin, there's no selection for "a much too qualified product name". What's next? Caffiene-free Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Peppermint Spam Vanilla?

The Over-Branding polls will be up later.

I don't like Dr. Pepper, but I really like the Dr. Pepper Cherry Vanilla. They managed a good balance of the flavors, whereas my beloved Coca Cola's Black Cherry Vanilla is still too heavy on the vanilla.

[thebitterguy]

That is a beverage yet to be seen here in Canuckistan. I must try it on my next sojourn.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

I recommend Coke's diet version. Not quite as sweet.

You better be careful what countries you attach the suffix "-istan" to. Some yahoo down here might decide it'd be a good place for bombing. Nobody* on either side of the border wants that.

Hmmm... LosVegasistan... if I circulate that eventually maybe.. hmm... this bears meditation.



*Nobody with more than 4 operative brain cells, that is.

Dude, we're socialists with oil and no nukes. It's just a matter of time.

In fact, you've got a very interesting form of petroleum reserve: the oil sands. They're just fascinating.

You didn't have an option for the non-diet version. I'm totally off of the aspartame, man.

[thebitterguy]

Far as I know, it isn't available in a non-diet formula.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I haven't seen it in non-diet versions. No clue why that is...

[viktor-haag.livejournal.com]

I hear that! I, too, went totally off aspartame (and still running fast) when I heard from a bio-chemist how it exactly works. Thanks, but I'd prefer my pop not to tap-dance all over my frontal lobes...

[thebitterguy]

Why, what's it do? Differently than sugar, I mean.

I can't comment, since I haven't tried it. I like the Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry part, but I don't enjoy vanilla.
