it had prune juice listed as an ingredient, read it on a can one time. Yep. That stuff we grew up drinking as kids had prune juice in it Roger. That was back when the original mfg plant in Dublin, TX still made it.

It has long been thought that Dr Pepper was the mixup of a dozen or so leftover syrups, the majority of which was black cherry. Tastes just like that. Its cloying ambiguity appeals primarily to the sweet tooth of a ten-year-old.
For a while, its competitor was the similar-tasting Mr Pibb. I didn't realize I was still 10. DP has been my preferred as long as I can recall, though it went to diet DP and now DP10 is about as good as it gets. Wife is the same way. RE up north... we pick up a few "cases" in Eagle River AK every fall on the way to our moose hunt...

According to an uncle who worked for Pepsi long ago, the popularity was you could add a lot of alcohol before "burning" it, more than other sodas. True or not? Don't know. But it will take more vodka than others to my taste.

I drink maybe two sodas a year on impulse, usually quickly regretted. Dr. Pepper is often the one that gets me.
Anybody put peanuts in their Pepsi or RC Cola? That's a WV, Western MD, and PA thang, I believe. Yep. I prefer Pepsi with peanuts but coke or RC will do.

Learned to love it in northern IL as a kid. Bottle of that and a bag of Rolled Gold pretzel sticks was heaven.

Of course it's pop! WTF else would you call it-and don't give me that "soda" crap! If I called it "pop" then everyone would think I was a yankee. WTF

Dr Pepper was always a bit of a second fiddle in GA. But then, everything was compared to Coca Cola.
Once heard Mt Dew referred to as "Nectar of the 'Tards". Seemed fitting.
All that schist is a major factor in the obesity/diabetes epidemic and a reason southerners out weigh the rest of the country by a goodly margin. Kids down there raised on the crap.

If you mix it with southern comfort they are both drinkable.

Seems like it is most everywhere. I never heard of drinking it hot. We like it ice cold. They don't have when you go to Europe or in Mexico. All they have is yucky Pepsi, but lots of people won't have anything else.

New to me as well. Drinking a diet DP now. Drink 3-4 per day, but also a lot of water. Frequently out of stock in Northern Virginia. At our North Carolina lake house DP is frequently stale when purchased which indicates poor sales. This is near Lake Gaston so many of the residents are retired Yankees.
