Somebody said:
<<. . . what flavour *is* Dr Pepper? I'd try it myself if it wasn't for
those bloody ads - why should people be forced to drink it? Is it not
nice? They've managed to convinced me that it's made of crushed beetle
or something.>>
Then, Erika said:
<<i believe it's a cherry cola flavour produced by pepsi... which is why
coca-cola introduced cherry coke to compete with it.>>
According to the Dr Pepper Museum (www.drpeppermuseum.com), this
fruity-flavored soft drink was invited in 1885 at a soda fountain in
Waco, Texas, and is the oldest of the major brand soft drinks in
America. Pepsi has nothing to do with it. And if you live in the UK,
your Dr Pepper tastes nothing like our good ol' American version (that's
not from the dp site, that's from experience).
"It's a Texas thang. You wouldn't understand."
Cheers!
