Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper...

Tastes like bitter Tootsie Roll. Won't be buying it again.

I'm still trying to find this stuff. But I love Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, so I probably won't change if *that's* the taste...

Wal-Mart has 12-packs of cans, that's it. Zilch at Target and K-Mart. But I found a 24 oz bottle at a Shell station convenience store.

I think that's the shortest review I've ever seen from you...

But is it as bad as Rally-nox?

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

Nah. It's drinkable, and a damnsight better than diet Cheerwine. But nothing I'm going to bother with again.

Dr Pepper keeps ruining new and interesting flavors by making them diet. Why isn't there a non-diet version of this? It might at least be passable.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

Nah, Diet Dr Pepper does indeed taste more like regular Dr Pepper. The flavors are failing on their own merits, or lack thereof.

I think grant_p did a comic on that note.

I did, here it is:

I think I got more odd threats from the Dr. Pepper supporters for this then anything else I've ever done...

That's funny; I had this for the first time on Sunday and I quite liked it. I didn't like the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, tho'.

I found the Diet Cherry Vanilla to taste too much like cream soda, which I don't like in general.

They were giving out samples of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper at Target the other day. The sample lady mentioned Chocolate Cherry would be out the next day. I wasn't sure it sounded good. I shared the news with friends during the Super Bowl and none of them thought it sounded appealing. Still, I'll probably try it just to see.

If you like dark chocolate, you might like it. I just happen to be more of a milk chocolate guy.

Didn't I say something similar?

I've not had the courage to try this. My New Year's Resolution was to switch from regular soda to diet (except when I eat out, since I can't handle the sacchariney fountain diet) and hopefully cut 450 empty calories out of my diet. But it took long enough to really get used to Diet DP when I'd been drinking Dublin (the original cane sugar recipe, which is expensive but still cheaper than buying from a vending machine) for years that I'm almost afraid to even try the wacky flavors.
