    Now you should try the Dublin Dr Pepper! Back when soda companies started switching to less expensive sweeteners like corn syrup to save money, Dr Pepper’s original bottler, located in Dublin, Texas, made the decision to stick with the original pure cane sugar recipe. For many years the only place in the world you could buy Dr Pepper in its original form was in Dublin, Texas, hence it became known as Dublin Dr Pepper. I among many would make detours on road trips or even pilgrimages just to buy a case or two, or three of that sweet Dublin Dr Pepper. Today they sell the pure cane sugar version in a green can!

      I was stationed at Ft Hood in Tx when I was in the Army. one of my buddies and I would take a trip to the Dr. Pepper factory and get around 20 cases of the original soda each weekend and take them back to the barracks with us. others eventually found out and we started getting around 150 cases each weekend being bought for every one. they would tell us how many they wanted and give us the cash for the sodas and we would keep a list. we never charged for gas, since we were going anyways. so never took any off the top. just bought what they wanted and passed it on. when I transferred, they ended up having a mock funeral service because nobody else could take the trip anymore.

      what should be tried now is the other Waco soda... Big Red.
      when my grandfather was in senior command in formosa, china in the 1950s, he would have Dr Pepper flown to him. All the Texans would flip out. The kids mowing lawns and painting house trim.

      Last year I was in Japan for a couple days and Taiwan for about a week and a half. In Japan you can find Dr Pepper in various vending machines. When I came across one I’d buy at least 3. In Taiwan the only place I could find Dr Pepper was at a small grocery store next to the Regent Hotel. I paid $49 TWD which was about $1.50 USD. I bought as many as I could carry, but my wife ended up drinking half of them 😖. I hope that grocery store still carries Dr Pepper because I have to go back to Taiwan.

    Cream soda is a flavor, yes! It's what I would call a "staple" soda or an old fashioned flavor. Before the main "brand flavors" took off (Pepsi, Coke, dr. Pepper-) flavors like cream soda, sarsparilla, root beer, lemon or lime...orange, black cherry, ginger ale...were common. They actually came from a temperance movement, where people were coming up with flavorful alternatives for cocktails. Up here locally "foxon park" has a lot of these old flavors even today.
    Fun fact - cream soda is meant to be vanilla-ish and mimic the flavor of a basic ice cream.

      This. Cream soda is a light refreshing soda vs most other stuff especially Coke. Coke is too strong imo and only decent when loaded down with ice.
      @europeanreacts You should try to get your hands on some butterscotch beer [it's soda not 'beer'] for a stronger version of cream soda. If you like Coke that means you like stronger flavors. People who prefer Pepsi over Coke tend to like the lighter flavors more. In the US, people who like Coke more, think Pepsi tastes "watered-down". Of course that's not everyone saying that, but it seems to be the case generally.

As an adult I drank Diet Coke to the point of addiction and quit all soda about 9 years ago. I miss the bubbles but haven’t found a soda I like anymore. Thats not entirely true I like the Indian soda Thumbs Up. It has a less sugary taste than Coke or Pepsi but without the chemical flavor of Diet Coke.

      @@occheermommy I forgot to come back in here to reply. What I meant by 'stronger' was the flavor not the sweetness which are two separate things in this context. Unless, what you're telling me is you can't taste the difference between Orange soda and Grape soda, except for how much sugar there is? Coke is def has a much stronger cola flavor with notes of cinnamon and more acidity, while Pepsi is subtle with a much smoother aftertaste. Pepsi uses citric acid while Coke uses phosphoric acid, which is why coke cleans drains, battery terminals, and dissolves egg shells, etc. I think the two different acids is why the Coke/Pepsi debate is so divided, it's because there's a starke difference in individual sensitivity. Anyway, I do applaud you on quitting soda, I barely drink it anymore either. Only when there's some around for events or for the kids.

    At least you drank it "cold" - you need to fill the glass with ice then pour the Dr. Pepper over it! (or any soda actually!!) Oh #3, then Mountain Dew, then Coke, then Pepsi
    I love Jones bottled soda! Yummy - there are a lot of flavors - all are pretty darn good! Cream Soda is one of my favorites especially over vanilla ice cream!! Just as good as a root beer float! Never heard of that last one at all! You should try Vernor's Ginger Ale or Canada Dry Ginger Ale - Vernor's is the best I think . . but lots like Canada Dry too!

    To really throw you off, there is a Coca-Cola product called Mr Pibb (or PibbXtra as it is now labeled), that I think is a dupe of Dr Pepper. Or maybe vice versa? Has a similar "I-don't-know-what-it-is-but-I-like-it" flavor note. I grew up on Mr Pibb, but Coke was by far the larger favorite. Dr Pepper is now owned by Keurig, who also owns Snapple (iced tea, mostly flavored), 7up (lemon/lime), and a coffee brand.

    Here's a take from an American that is completely and hopelessly hooked on Dr. P. When you go to convenience stores in the US, there is always a wall of pop/soda (refrigerated). You can see all the different types from a distance and you can also see what products are more popular for that given store based on how many spaces they are allotted. Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and sometimes Sprite usually take up an entire row each. Where I live (in the midwest), Dr. Pepper usually has their own row. On top of that, because Dr. P is an independent brand from the majors, it is very common for Dr. P to be completely sold out. Hope this helps with your questions on regional popularity.

    Coke is America's favorite and most sold soda by a huge margin. Dr Pepper recently passed Pepsi as #2. Pepsi and Mountain Dew are very close to each other at #3 and #4. Pepsi Co also makes Mountain Dew.

    In 2023 the US net sales for Dr Pepper was $2.18 billion, Coca Cola was $6.65 billion and Pepsi was $9.07 billion.
    My main drink is Dr Pepper, my second is Cerry Coke and third is Pepsi. I don't like regular Coke.

    I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️>>>>

    Stewards has root beer and an orange cream which is like a creamcicle ice cream flavor.
    Oh and all our drinks are cold and with lots of ice because they make the flavors strong. The taste is different if you drink it warm. It's a real thing.

    You shouldn't use coke or Pepsi as a comparison to Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper isn't trying to be a cola. It's its own flavor.
    I can easily tell the difference between colas like Pepsi, coke, faygo, rc cola and more. They're all slightly different.

    I’m 55 and have loved Dr Pepper since I was a child. I don’t drink a lot of soda but when I do it’s Dr Pepper

    There used to be something called a Dublin Dr. Pepper and it was made with a certain brand of pure cane sugar. It is so good. I think it used to come in pint (16 oz.) cans. I remember buying multiple wrapped 12 pack cases of it the last time I saw it, but it was several years ago.
