Must be why they never made a straight Cherry Dr. Pepper ^_^ (Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, however, is the stuff).

Really?

So Pepsi Lemon is just stronger?
Pepsi Lime is really lemon-lime?
Vanilla Coke is like a creamsicle?

:D

Well, its Sprite for me.. and in the off chance that its not served (Like my friggin school that has Pepsi-products) I go with Sierra Mist.

But when push comes to shove, I much prefer me some fruit punch. And Capri Suns come in real handy when you are lazy in school. Pop a straw in and your good to go. Not to mention 10 in abox for like a 1.50

Yes and yes on the first two.

Not sure on the 3rd.

Edit:

From Wikipedia

In 1985, Coca-Cola, amid much publicity, attempted to change the formula of the drink. Some authorities believe that New Coke, as the reformulated drink was called, was invented specifically to respond to its commercial competitor, Pepsi. Double-blind taste tests indicated that most consumers preferred the taste of Pepsi (which has more lemon oil, less orange oil, and uses vanillin rather than vanilla) to Coke. New Coke was reformulated in a way that emulated Pepsi. Follow-up taste tests revealed that most consumers preferred the taste of New Coke to both Coke and Pepsi. The reformulation was led by the then-CEO of the company, Roberto Goizueta, and the President Don Keough.


Double edit:

On dr pepper, this is cool, also from wiki

In the United States, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. does not have a complete network of bottlers and distributors, so it is sometimes bottled under contract by Coca-Cola or Pepsi bottlers. In about 30% of the country, the product is distributed by Pepsi bottlers, in about 30% of the country, by Coca-Cola bottlers and in the remainder it is distributed by bottlers that are not affiliated with either of those companies.

In Canada, Cadbury-Schweppes has licensed distribution rights to PepsiCo. In Germany, Mexico, France, Sweden, The Netherlands, Slovakia, Finland, Austria, The Czech Republic, Belgium, and Norway, Cadbury-Schweppes owns the trademark and distributes the product. In all of the other countries of the world, The Coca-Cola Company purchased the trademark from Cadbury-Schweppes and distributes the product. This mixed worldwide ownership of the trademark is due to anti-trust regulations which prevented Coca-Cola from purchasing the rights everywhere.

I used to have 4-6 cans of pop every day, and about 6 weeks ago I quit drining it cold turkey.

Only time I have any now will be with the company of one of my best friends, Capitan Morgan.

I'm glad you stopped drinking 4-6 cans of soda a day, it's much better for you. I only drink about two cans of soda a week.

I was up to 8 cans of fizzy a day, you wusses. That's why I gave up the fizzy. :rolleyes:

To each his own. :p

Since my question was unanswered...



Why is there no Vanilla on the poll? Some of us DO like Cream Soda..

POP god damn it

By a decent margin.


Mostly because the dumb hicks say "coke" for any flavor of soft drink and then try to justify it with the "Kleenex" and "Q-Tip" defenses, which is like comparing apples to oranges. If I ask you to hand me a Kleenex, and I get any brand of tissue, I got what I wanted. If I ask for a cola flavored soft drink AKA a "Coke" and you give me something other than Coke, Pepsi, RC, Dr Pepper or any type of cola you've ****ed up big time.

I hope you know they call soda "pop" in West Virginia.

Heh, I didn't know that. That's strange because I hate cherries and I always hate things (like candy) that are cherry flavored...but like I said, Dr. Pepper is my favorite pop ever.

It's the name I most often go by on the internet, so I just sign all my digital art with it. This is the only forum I use the name vampyr on.
