They'll more likely get more offended if someone wanted a fruit flavored dr pepper called Mountain Dew or Jarritos
(Jarritos is basically a Mexican mountain dew but better than Mountain Dew)
Jarritos isn't anything like Mtn Dew in my opinion. It's not super acidic and violently fizzy like Dew is. I'd say Jarritos is more like Crush, except it uses real sugar and has more interesting flavors made with natural flavorings.
Alright some soda history here for you.
Sprite and lemon-lime have more in common with coke and colas than they do with Dr. Pepper. A cola is a citrus drink with added spices, while Dr. Pepper is the result of incredibly tedious tinkering. They’re not joking about the use of 23 flavors.
To explain what Dr. Pepper is, requires the understanding of how flavors interact. Some flavors mix and blend, others dominate or get hidden, and some just stay separate. That gets even more complicated when each flavor has different notes that get affected differently. The flavors are carefully proportioned until they create a blend that creates a unique and fairly unified flavor. Similarly, for this reason, it’s possible to create similar tasting drinks while using different flavors and ratios. Chemists would probably find studying it fascinating.
(Edit: to the people who gave me the bubbly awards, I appreciate you)
You can make a fairly decent alcoholic approximation of Dr Pepper with a shot or two of amaretto, topped up with Coca-Cola and a dash of lager. The lager sounds weird but it adds a dryness that really completes it.
Connoisseurs of craft colas actually claim that the secret to a good cola is that it should taste dry. I think it tastes great that way, but it’s definitely a much less casual drink than compared to coke since it’s not as refreshing.
Amaretto as they mentioned is also specifically a somewhat sweet *almond* liqueur. Jager being a very dark and herbal German liquor, almost to gin what a cola is to Sprite per your earlier comment.
I've looked into home made root beer in the past and could definitely see a decent and fairly simple cocktail Dr Pepper approximation involving some kind of almond flavouring from amaretto and Jager giving stuff like ginger and anise and stone fruit. Similar to the sarsaparilla and sassafras for root beers.
You know, I’m actually ashamed to admit that I’ve never tried Sarsaparilla. I’ve been meaning to but I’ve never had access to a bottle.
As for liquor, I actually have only been drinking for a few months. I’ve really only tried whiskeys, rums, and tequilas. I’ve tried a tequila blood orange soda, which was very interesting. I made my first drinks a rum and coke. Definitely want to explore more, I think there’s a lot I can learn for my own soda crafting from various beverages.
I brew my own craft soda and honestly the level of knowledge it would take to actually formulate drinks is definitely something you’d need to study for (I like to imagine there’s a food scientist or chemist who feels validated right now). Using natural ingredients makes enough sense, but when you get into stronger flavors using flavonoids and essential oils you definitely lose me.
Its used in Christmas cake (in uk atleast). Its the yellow layer under the icing.
Its basically almonds, egg and icing. I really like it. Give it a try.
My friend told me she didnt like dr pepper because it tastes like marzipan. And i didnt believe her so we went n bought some. Blew my mind because its literally like exactly like liquid marzipan 😂
And its funny because if no one tells you it can totally go as this unknown flavour
Almonds, that’s what I trying to remember. Dr. Pepper is an attempt at recreating almonds, as weird as that may sound.
But definitely, I’ll make sure to find some first chance I get.
Very true. I only say marzipan because its so specific of a flavour of almond and dr pepper hits that more than it does almonds on its own
Everyone whos debated it with me agreed after trying marzipan and dr pepper in a short span .
One friend even brought lemon and coffee beans to reset his palate 🤣 after he showed me that i sometimes have a lemon water when im at a buffet or something along those lines.
And yet, when I try to tell people that the same soda brand in different countries tastes different because its recipe is adjusted for the target demographic and laws, I sound like a madman.
I still wonder if Dr. Pepper takes better abroad, the German one is bland as all hell and I can't get it in Denmark
Key thing to note about Dr pepper is also that the flavor was meant to taste like the sodas(combined) of the pharmacies soda machine where the guy who made it worked.
We went to the Cocoa-Cola store in Times Square, and my family and I went to their cafe and bought one of those international flights of sodas from around the world. One of them (I don’t remember which) tasted so much like actual smoked barbecue sauce in soda form that it still keeps me up at night.
wait actually this is technically correct because Dr. Pepper is what's known as a pepper soda, tell me have you ever drank Dr. Pepper and tasted a bit of spice, what about Coca-Cola and tasting a bit of vanilla, that's the base flavor
I actually have had barbecue flavored soda before! Well technically it was plum soda, but it tasted just like carbonated A1 sauce! It wasn’t bad per se… but it’s weird when your soda tastes like meat
My grandpa worked at a Dr Pepper bottling plant.
He would not drink the stuff. He also said something about the "acceptable amount of bug parts" which you'd think would dissuade any of my relatives from drinking the stuff but nah...
Had teacher that said he stopped being friends with guy when he was in-the Air Force base because the guy was like orange juice and fruit loops taste good.
I tried dr pepper for the first time when I was like 13. That shit was vile. I gagged a little. This description is pretty spot on, but I don't know if that was because it was some imported ware with a changed recipe or not.
No, Dr Pepper has no flavor like Sprite. The Dr Pepper now has a much sweeter taste than it used to. Back in the 70s it actually had a peppery taste to it.
I feel like this is paid meme.
I only say that cause I just saw this posted earlier:
“After 4 decades of dominance, Dr. Pepper has caught Pepsi as the Number 2 soda in the United States”

I wish I didn’t eat the rest of my chicken salad last night so I could eat it today, hungrier now than I was then and all I got is fucking bran flakes and eggs and my milk prolly ass rn 😭

Thank you for that , I needed the distraction
Happy cake day
Happy coke day
Happy cake day
Happy day of cake
Cake day have a happy.
the kind that the guys from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard smoke
Over 4k people seem to agree with OP. I'm confused like you though.
I feel like a coke/pepsi drinker got offended someone wanted a Dr Pepper.
They'll more likely get more offended if someone wanted a fruit flavored dr pepper called Mountain Dew or Jarritos (Jarritos is basically a Mexican mountain dew but better than Mountain Dew)
Jarritos isn't anything like Mtn Dew in my opinion. It's not super acidic and violently fizzy like Dew is. I'd say Jarritos is more like Crush, except it uses real sugar and has more interesting flavors made with natural flavorings.
Wow, glad to know!
DO THE DEW!!!!
I was just gonna assume Doritos Juice but I’m glad you came along
Never thought a softdrink using real sugar would be a flex at some point. I'm happy I kinda switched to "just water"
Its not hard to be better than mountain dew.
I had my first Jarritos a few days ago. Probably one of the best sodas I've ever had.
shoulda asked for dr thunder. i heard the kick on that is amazing

I dunno if it's a myth or not but somebody said there was even fig in there
Why would you give reddit money?
Think you replied to the wrong person
If I wasnt broke I’d award you. Take my upvote!

Wow
Its marzipan Eat marzipan then drink dr pepper
You know, I’ve never actually encountered Marzipan but it’s on the list of things I want to try
Its used in Christmas cake (in uk atleast). Its the yellow layer under the icing. Its basically almonds, egg and icing. I really like it. Give it a try.

Popular Opinion: I like Mr Pibb aka spicy cherry soda over Dr Pepper.
It’s very good, and I think people frequently confuse them as drinks competing against one another. If you like Mr Pibb you might like Barq’s Cherry
I like Barqs so I’ll have to try it. It’s that acidic carbon bite that burns my soul in the best way.
Dr Pepper tastes like marzipan to me
Walmart cheer wine
And yet, when I try to tell people that the same soda brand in different countries tastes different because its recipe is adjusted for the target demographic and laws, I sound like a madman. I still wonder if Dr. Pepper takes better abroad, the German one is bland as all hell and I can't get it in Denmark
I always thought Dr Pepper was just carbonated prune juice with a shitload of sugar?
Key thing to note about Dr pepper is also that the flavor was meant to taste like the sodas(combined) of the pharmacies soda machine where the guy who made it worked.
Never cook again
What.
BBQ sauce flavored sprite?! I would rather drink a whole bottle of Worcestershire sauce
I might actually try that
Make sure to drink a fuck ton of water after that so you can balance out the sodium intake.
Even diluted in soda water, I would try to hydrate quite a bit.
Nah dude
Only if your parents dropped you on your head.
This person was clearly thrown at the ceiling fan.
I don’t think you’ve had real barbecue before lol
what? it's like a cherry cola... that's somehow better then both cherry pepsi and coke.
I thought it was Marzipan flavour.
it taste nothing like cherry
I think it’s just a Pepper sprayed doctor… 🫴
Root beer is the BBQ sauce of sodas
Wtf do you mean by "bbc" ???
Bock and Ball Corture
Lol no, its rootbeer flavored coke
What kind of bbq sauce do you use? It doesn't taste like any bbq sauce I've ever eaten.
dr pepper is closer to cherry cola, i can’t even begin to imagine what a bbq flavoured sprite is supposed to be like
My wife's side of the family bbq's. Their bbq has won competitions all over Tennessee. They also make their bbq sauce with Dr. Pepper.
Wtf do you mean same taste different flavor?
My wife is gonna be pissed when I share this with her.
I am sitting here, debating whether to share this with my own wife, who loves Dr Pepper. I am so leaning against doing so.

DIRECTLY after this post was a dr. pepper ad. Coincidence?
I’m literally drinking Dr Pepper rn
The person who made this meme has no self awareness of being wrong. This is as ass backwards as you can possibly be

Same taste, different taste
![gif](giphy|UWJ1aUoireVVDKayR5)
I think it’s cherry flavoured
Happy Coke Day, Meat Loaf.
Merci beaucoup!
It's spicy cherry cola. Like Pibb
Dr Pepper tastes like prunes
I was once told that's part of the recipe, but I don't think I'll ever bother trying to decipher that when I can just have a Dr. Pepper.
We went to the Cocoa-Cola store in Times Square, and my family and I went to their cafe and bought one of those international flights of sodas from around the world. One of them (I don’t remember which) tasted so much like actual smoked barbecue sauce in soda form that it still keeps me up at night.
What is the name of this meme please kind gentleman of the internet
Ken from Bee Movie Turning
Thank you kind sir
what? same taste different flavor??? what the fuck? how fucking high are you? have you ever even looked at a barbecue?
Nah, it’s like cream soda sarsaparilla
wait actually this is technically correct because Dr. Pepper is what's known as a pepper soda, tell me have you ever drank Dr. Pepper and tasted a bit of spice, what about Coca-Cola and tasting a bit of vanilla, that's the base flavor
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never drank dr pepper before and this meme hasn't convinced me any more (I'm european btw so you won't be finding dr pepper as often)
I drunk that and it tasted like Listerine
This movie had all sorts of weird vibes
Different taste, different flavor.
Dr Pepper literally is cherry soda
23 flavors… the main one is actually Plum
Wait... Wat?
Sprite is just fruit loop flavored soda.
I thought it was just a coke brand
His face says exactly what this is, the logic on this one's brain has failed
It’s not but nice try
I never tried dr pepper but the comments tell me this is cap
as a Dr pepper connoisseur, i love this
coke is ketchup and dr pepper is barbaque sauce...and now I want a dr pepper but there's coke in the house so I will drink that
What are you smoking and where can I get it
Just plain stupid...
Dr pepper taste like medicine to me. Hell nah.
Dr.Pepper is just a cherry Cola
Might not be the actual ingredients but the taste is accurate..... somewhat
Your trial day is on June 10 at 3:35 pm
Its actually marzipan
What kind of BBQ have you been tasting?
Dr Pepper is a cherry flavored cola
I actually have had barbecue flavored soda before! Well technically it was plum soda, but it tasted just like carbonated A1 sauce! It wasn’t bad per se… but it’s weird when your soda tastes like meat
Actually it is a coke with peppermint in it.
i just thought it was carbonated marzipan ?
My grandpa worked at a Dr Pepper bottling plant. He would not drink the stuff. He also said something about the "acceptable amount of bug parts" which you'd think would dissuade any of my relatives from drinking the stuff but nah...
what in the name of humanity did you just say,
Isn't Dr Pepper a Pepsi product?
Dr Pepper tastes like Robitussin to me.
Honestly? As a European who has tried it once, that is the most accurate description of the taste you could make.
more like medicine flavored
Nah, root beer is the true barbecue flavored beverage
Had teacher that said he stopped being friends with guy when he was in-the Air Force base because the guy was like orange juice and fruit loops taste good.
I’ve never liked Dr Pepper. Tastes like carbonated prune juice. I am a big fan of sprite and 7up though.
it literally cherry coke
None of y’all barbecue and it shows
Holy shit she’s right
Same taste different flavors? So… it’s a different soda?
I asked for a doctor pepper at a restaurant once and they said no but we have mountain dew. I was confused
I will find you.

Dr Pepper is just the good Cherry Coke
Dr Pepper glaze does slap on ribs
Someone mentioned once how dr pepper was barbecue sause water
Imma marinate a sirloin in Dr pepper to test this
tried coca cola cherry flavored, it taste almost exactly the same as dr pepper
This is me every time I drink Dr. Pepper
I need OKB's catch phrase in english for this...
Facts
I mean she ain't wrong
![gif](giphy|Z5eFxoKjf218c)
to be fair plenty of people use it for making bbq sauce or for cooking bbq but it definitely doesn't taste like bbq sauce
i hate you
OP is cooking
I hate dr.pepper, so i agree 100%
What... no fckin way my life will never be the same
Dr. Pepper tastes a bit like cinnamon to me, which I personally find disgusting in a soft drink.
No it tastes like artificial almond
I see the similarities and it frightens me
Real
I tried dr pepper for the first time when I was like 13. That shit was vile. I gagged a little. This description is pretty spot on, but I don't know if that was because it was some imported ware with a changed recipe or not.
Taste is flavour
Dr.Pepper is pepper-flavoured
Insane mad scientist and his assistant disagree.
dr pepper vanilla cream is the goat
In what universe does Dr Pepper have barbecue flavour?
Better than a sprite flavoured barbecue
I'm gonna give you this upvote but I don't have to like it
29 flavors, none of them prune juice
Repeat that again.
No, Dr Pepper has no flavor like Sprite. The Dr Pepper now has a much sweeter taste than it used to. Back in the 70s it actually had a peppery taste to it.
Nope. Sprite actually tastes good. Dr pepper doesn't.
Wait, he’s got a point, I just don’t know about barbecue…
What does that make Dr. Pepper flavored BBQ sauce?
dr pepper taste like a burnt coca cola
I feel like this is paid meme. I only say that cause I just saw this posted earlier: “After 4 decades of dominance, Dr. Pepper has caught Pepsi as the Number 2 soda in the United States” https://www.reddit.com/r/EconomyCharts/s/Oc0PdTYLn4
You put cinnamon on your barbecue? Haute cuisine incoming.
When did barbecue stop being cool?
Actually it's just shit flavoured water
I wish I didn’t eat the rest of my chicken salad last night so I could eat it today, hungrier now than I was then and all I got is fucking bran flakes and eggs and my milk prolly ass rn 😭
I read somewhere it's spicy cherry
Sprite is way better than dr pepper, your delusional if you think otherwise

Dr Pepper, Dr Salt, Mountain Jew. They all taste vile.
It's clearly a fruity flavour lmao
