always liked Dr. Pepper but doesn’t that seem like overkill?

@fave: On the bottle, it says “23 flavors”.

Each of the few times I’ve had it, I’ve picked up on a different flavor and all of them appear on that list (hadn’t seen it until now.) I think distinguishing them must be dependent on your taste sensitivity, the stage and temperature of the drink, and any other food you might have eaten recently. I’d be interested in knowing why they decided to go that route though.

Prunes AND plums?

We’ll just scrape all this crap on the counter in here.

There is no prune juice in Dr. Pepper. That urban legend has been around as long as I can remember.

@jsammons that’s how they make Spam™

@Psychedelic_Zebra I actually think that it’s how 60% of consumer products are made

I vaguely recall hearing that Dr. Pepper was invented when Charles Alderton mixed together every single flavor that he had in the soda fountain. In any case, the flavor is good and still sells well, although we no longer ask anyone to “shoot me a Waco.”

Here is as close an answer as you’re going to get.

Ewwwwww.
