Dr. Pepper doesn't taste like it did when I was a kid. Is it the sugar?

I buy the Walmart knockoff called Dr Thunder...but it's Diet.
It's surprisingly good and 5 bucks a case.

I know a lot of folks like DP, but it's one drink I cannot stand...for whatever reason.....and the DIET stuff is - well, let's just say it'll never again be in this house as long as I'm livin' here..

we're lucky in that we can buy mescan coke at HEB, glass bottles and cane sugar.

Last year when i had most of my gut taken out i found that i couldn't drink Diet or regular DP.
Then the ones made with real sugar showed up.
Don't drink much soda anymore but they taste great.
Almost as good as the ones that were made in Dublin TX.
Man i miss those.

I like the real sugar stuff.
It does seem to have a little less bite though.

One of my favorite treats back in my youth was a ice cold Dr. Pepper in the 10 oz glass bottle and a bag of original crunchy Cheetos.

Kicking my DP habit was tougher than quitting smoking. Dr. Pepper IS the friendly pepper upper.

Flaming Dr Peppers are better than the the sugar or corn syrup ones.

Mom used to heat up the Dublin pure cane stuff and squeeze a little lemon in it. My place was 12 miles from Dublin. Another 8 miles would get you to the beer store.
