Hot Dr. Pepper

I don't like this stuff cold. Hot is beyond my comprehension. I'm told it's delicious.

Eh. I would try it, but might wind up liking it cold instead.

Dr. P is an acquired taste. The Big Guy loves it, but it wasn't a taste I enjoyed. The folks who like it, though, really like it.

it is delicious. a while back they had CHERRY CHOCOLATE DR PEPPER and it was magnificent...but it didn't go well in the test markets, so they quit making it.

dr pepper is sort of an acquired taste. you either love it or not. :)

This is what I'm told. I've tried, but apparently lack the gene for it. Of course, don't like cream soda either.

I see what went wrong...

I wasn't in one of those markets! Gah!

I distinctly recall hot Dr. Pepper being a plot point in Auntie Mame. That’s the first place I heard of “making a Dr. Pepper.”

Hmm, I don't remember. Are you talking about the movie or the musical?

[progbear.livejournal.com]

Original movie of course. I’ve blocked most of that Lucy abomination from my memory. To preserve my sanity, you see.

My dad heats it up with an orange slice. My father-in-law prefers it cold, but mixed 50:50 with orange juice.

I think a whole generation was exposed at an impressionable age to these ads... it is not the taste for me.

A Dr Pepper with strawberry from Sonic, though? Now we're talking.

I love the ads. but not the soda. Think it tastes too much like cream soda or something. It just never connected with me, but neither did cherry cola

Of course, it's all moot now, since I don't drink soda.

This has potential - I have had hot Coke with a lemon slice in Chinese restaurants before.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Really? I haven't seen that at our favorite Chinese joint, but they may just not do it. I will be on the look out for that now.

I always liked Dr. Pepper better than Coke, but I rarely drink soda of any kind unless it's plain seltzer or fizzy lemonade I make myself.
