Favorite Soda Type? - Page 3

Dr. Pepper is the best pop ever.

So I guess cola is my favorite.

Can Dr. Pepper be called a cola? It tastes nothing like Coca-Cola or Pepsi Cola (which taste somewhat similar to each other), or any of the other, cheaper colas...

I always kind of thought DP was its own thing...

/me shrugs and walks away

It is!

There's Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb, Dr. Bob (Giant Food brand, they also have 'Spin Cola)... And I'm pretty sure Safeway has some Dr. or Mr. Soda as well...

And it is also my favorite Soda :>

I haven't had soda in like a month and a half, and I don't plan to for as long as I can. But hell, I was a Dr. Pepper fan before I quit. Silly 8-can a day addiction.

Dr. Pepper was a prized possession in Iraq. Very hard to find.

as for Mt. Dew, found the ingredients:

Contains: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, concentrated orange juice and other natural flavors, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preserves freshness), caffeine, sodium citrate, gum arabic, erythorbic acid (preserves freshness), calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor) and brominated vegetable oil, yellow 5.

Pepsi is cola flavored with Lemon
Coke is cola flavored with Orange
Dr. Pepper is cola flavored with Cherry

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.

Would gingerale be a type of lemon lime, or a different type all together?

Typhoid · 06-19-2005, 01:49 AM

Wheres Vanilla?

I just noticed there is no Vanilla up there. What about those of us who adore Cream Soda damnit!

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?

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'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.
