[señor coolguy]

I went to the dr.pepper factory when I was in camp once. It was awesome.

[mill_mobile]

move to america we have plenty at el walmarto
I wish i could! It has been unavailable down here for sooooooo long - i reckon its been at least 5 years!
You have no idea how excited i was when i found it!
I asked if they sold it by the carton and unfortunately it was only 25 cents per can cheaper to get a carton.
I want the 1.25 lt bottles back;)

[$unidude$chad$:)]

here let's ship a whole crate full of it there
DR.Pepper 4 life

[$unidude$chad$:)]

i don't even know where tasmania is?

[mill_mobile]

i don't even know where tasmania is?
Its right down the bottom of Australia - shipping some down would be super cool but i think it'd cost quite a bit??? Maybe we should look into it and i could pay you comission:D

[James_Potter]

I like it but don't love it and don't hate it.
And it is available!

[JJuggle]

My wife got some Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Chocolate today. It tastes like a carbonated cherry Tootsie-Pop. Not bad.

I like - but don't love - Dr Pepper and it is available.

I much prefer Dr Brown's Cream Soda. Perhaps it's a Jewish (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showpost.php?p=975843&postcount=27) thing.

[UniDudeDX]

Dr. Pepper Is Like gods gift to man.

I love it sooooooooooo much.

Edit: I meant Dr. Pepper

[Tyler_N]

[mill_mobile]

Dr. Pepper is what you drink when they don't carry ROOT BEER.

[john_childs]

Do you like Dr Pepper?
And is it available where you live?
I LOVE it and hadn't had it for YEARS and YEARS... (

Don't feel bad. We can't get ginger beer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_beer) soda over here except at specialty importers. We can get ginger ale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_ale) over here but that bears very little resemblance to the real thing.

[Unitik908]

I am glad some one has finally made a thread about the single greatest beverage of all time.
I LOOOVE DR PEPPER.

Chase

[forrestunifreak]

Sheesh, what else can you not get there? Root Beer? Mountain Dew? 7 up? have you ever heard of those things?

[James_Potter]

He lives in Tasmania okay, that's an island made of jungle!!

[wickedbob]

Dp makes me orgasm, oh yes... Hahaha, seriously its the greatest soda there will ever be.

[mill_mobile]

do u have a walmart or do u go to a special drinks shop? cuz the way u put it earlier it osunded liek there's a special shop for drinks:confused: and yay u got it:p :cool:
Nope, no walmart, the place i have found that sells it is a special lolly shop that imports lots of different lollies/chocolates and drinks from around the world.

[mill_mobile]

Sheesh, what else can you not get there? Root Beer? Mountain Dew? 7 up? have you ever heard of those things?
Nope, we can get root beer, well, the same place sells it;)
I dont think we can get Mountain Dew or 7up anymore - we used to be able to get them everywhere but things seem to be scarce these days:(

[mill_mobile]

He lives in Tasmania okay, that's an island made of jungle!!
YES! It is a island, that is very crap! The whole of Australia is deprived of all things good!

[Chexjc]

Dr. Pepper is what you drink when they don't carry ROOT BEER.

Haha. Dead on.

If they don't have Dr. Pepper, you move onto something like Cherry Coke :/

[yoopers]

Dr. Pepper is prune juice. It's for old people. That's why I love it very much. The only thing in the world better than Dr. Pepper is Vegemite.

Actually, I don't drink much pop
Which brings up another question. What do you call the drink? Pop? Soda? On the U.S. east coast, everything is a coke. "I'll have a 7-UP coke, please."

[mill_mobile]

We call it a 'soft drink' here, along with all fizzy non-alcoholic beverages;)
EDIT: Apart from Mineral water and the like.

[forrestunifreak]

So what kind of soft drinks can you just like, walk down to any old store and pick up at a regular price?

[James_Potter]

That's what I heard too, but Snopes says no (http://www.snopes.com/business/secret/drpepper.asp).

Me neither, to tell you the truth.

I'm almost positive there's been at least one thread on this topic.

[forrestunifreak]

I thought it said prune juice right on the back of the can, under ingreidiments?

I'm pretty sure it did...

[mill_mobile]

Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Portello, Ginger Beer, Pepsi, Lemonade, Dry Ginger Ale, Ice Cream Soda, Solo and all that 'mainstream' stuff... i'll take note of what else we have next time i'm at the shop and let you know:)

[ntappin]

Is it legal to send it through mail? I could probably send it to you next time its on sale.

[mill_mobile]

Yep, i'd say its legal to send as obviously the small shop i get it from imports it!
How much is it when on special over there? If its reasonable we should look into freight charges:D

[Jerrick]

I can get 10 2-liters for $10.

Im sure youll be able to have some sent over easily.

[hugo]

Awesome softdrink, I buy it every time when I am visiting the US - but it is not generally avaliable here in Germany.

Will search for it.

But I must also say that I find Barq's (http://www.barqs.com/index.jsp) better.

[Probailer2]

Funny thing, I just went to WJW (trial and street meeting for uni's and also jugling) in The Netherlands and there I finaly got a bottle of Dr Pepper again after 8 years of not drinking it.
First it wasn't that good but after a few more drinks I loved it again.
To bad it isn't for sale where I live, realy wonder why.
So: I love it :)

[rob.northcott]

It's pretty commonly available in the UK in shops that have a reasonable selection of drinks. I drink it occasionally and quite like it if I'm in the mood for something really sweet. If I'm drinking fizzy drinks though I'll usually go for Coke. Dandelion and Burdock is nice as well.

Rob

[yoopers]

Ice Cream Soda
Now this one has some possibility. I wonder if Rochelle has an import store?

[$unidude$chad$:)]

so its a candy/lollie/drink/all things good shop:D :D :D i'd die without walmart , you poor child

[ntappin]

It is probably cheaper from the US but for me its about 3 or 4 bucks for a 12 pack.

I dont suppose, if its not too much trouble, you could get a price for postage for me to Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7018?
Please:)

[Poseidon]

Dude, it's everywhere where I live.

I wub it too.

[johnfoss]

i don't even know where tasmania is?Let me guess, you're an American, right? (checks profile) Yup, thought so. We Americans somehow manage to get through many years of school and most of us don't even know where half of our own states are, let alone other countries. The scary thing is that it doesn't seem to matter to us. We are too rich and too powerful to be so indifferent to the rest of the world. Instead of looking it up, we don't seem to mind telling the world that it doesn't matter that we don't know where things are.

Uh, sorry Chad, didn't mean to take anything out on you, that applies to most of 300,000,000 people. :p

How come the poll assumes that we hate what we don't love, and vice-versa?

[mill_mobile]

I dunno, i had a rather exciting time when making this thread and made it in a rush and thought there would be no in-between - either a love or hate.
My bad, sorry:o

[MuniFreakerFailsAtUni:D]

I love it and its available :D.

[ntappin]

$66.48 :p

have you ever tried calpico? Or Ramune?

Calpico is my favourite cultured milk drink!
I'm also a big fan of muscat soda!

[thejdw]

I once drank Dr. pepper and the fizz came out my nose, never again.

[TheGreenMonster]

lol yeah my freinds and i call it nector cuz it was like the Greak gods weaknesses or somfing dumb (nector i mean not dr pepper) i drink it daily im drinking it now

[mill_mobile]

Well, this morning i tried A&W Root beer and i wasnt a fan!

[Jerrick]

That can happen with any carbonated drink.

Try again.

[UniBrier]

Well, this morning i tried A&W Root beer and i wasnt a fan!Root beer is definitely an afternoon drink, it tastes much better then. Keep trying.

[john_childs]

A&W root beer requires a scoop of vanilla ice cream to be added to a frosty mug full of the root beer. Root beer floats are a great evening treat.

To be fair, A&W is just an average root beer. There are premium brands that have better flavor and don't taste so artificial.

I don't think it's required...A&W and Barq's are both delish (did I really just type that) without any added accoutrements.

[UniBrier]

Barq'sBarq's is the only RB with caffeine, I don't know why Coca Cola finds it necessary to add caffeine to their RB. I hear they do provide a caffeine free version in Utah.

Dr. Pepper has caffeine. Here's some interesting trivia from Wiki:

The drink was first sold in Waco, Texas, in 1885. It was introduced nationally in the United States at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition as a new kind of cola, made with 23 flavors. The exact date of Dr Pepper's conception is unknown, but the U.S. Patent Office recognizes December 1, 1885 as the first time Dr Pepper was served. It then became the first carbonated soft drink (Coca-Cola came a year later).

[hugo]

And I always thought that RB is dried prune juice :p :D

[maestro8]

My thoughts exactly.

It's a shame that many people don't have easy access to such premium brands. Poor hugo thinks it's dried prune juice! Hugo, you know that "real" RB is brewed, not unlike beer. Just like beer, a good RB has a thick, creamy head at the top of the glass.

I'm a fan of Henry Weinhard's micro-brewed RB. Wish I could try some Virgil's (http://www.virgils.com/index.html), though...

[thejdw]

That can happen with any carbonated drink.

Try again.
But the phycological scars remain :(

[hugo]

Poor hugo thinks it's dried prune juice!

That was supposed to be a joke. Apparently it didn't work :o
But honestly: Dr. Pepper tastes a little like dried prunes

[señor coolguy]

Maybe I should start eating dried prunes.

I have one bottle of Virgil's left from a four pack in the fridge. :D
A local grocery store carries it.

ramune is great, especially the real stuff from japan

my mom and sister went, and brought me some back....mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm..mm....toasty :D

[mill_mobile]

Was just looking on the net and found a recipe for a cocktail called Dr Pepper...
Has anyone tried this?
1/2 pint of beer
1/2 pint coke
1 shot of Ameretto

I will be trying it tonight;)

[hugo]

Yuk!

[Tomahawk]

Mr. Pibb is where it's at fellas.

[mill_mobile]

So i tried my recipe and it osnt too bad...admittedly the first sip was a bit odd but im gettin used to it as the pint goes down! Just put more ameretto in!

[Buddy]

I don't think it's required...A&W and Barq's are both delish (did I really just type that) without any added accoutrements.

Root beer is my favorite soda and I'll drink it any form, but IBC Root Beer has got to be my favorite of what I've tried.

[Spudman]

Taco Bell would not get my business if they didn't have Dr. Pepper on their fountain. It is the elixer of life.

[orbis]

Im just about to have a rootbeer(im out of Dr.pepper:mad: )

[orbis]

mmm. Thats some good suff.

[dudewithasock]

I had Dr. Pepper with my meal at this restaurant today for my friend's birthday. :D

[mill_mobile]

I am pleased with the way this thread was going!
Keep up the discussion... there can NEVER be too much Dr Pepper talk;)

[dudewithasock]

I had a refill, too. Just thought I'd clarify.

[Spudman]

I was busy eating.

[unisteve]

I have half a 591mL bottle of Dr. Pepper in my fridge, but I'm not sure if I should drink it.

[Matt_V]

I don't think i've ever acually tasted Dr. Pepper... I have been drinking wayy to much coke lately (like 20 cans a weekend) and Im starting to get sick of it. Maybe I should try Dr Pepper and maybe switch over.

[forrestunifreak]

I had a bottle of Dr Pepper today, it's been awhile. I don't drink it very often.


It's pretty good, probably my second favorite. I like A&W better....

[Hazmat]

I just found a place where you can a box full (18 cans) of Dr Pepper. :D
