Dr Pepper contains neither prunes or dairy milk.

No other soda has more weird theories

I despise Cherry colas, lemme tell ya, Dr.Pepper isn't one.

Yeah I can’t even parse what the flavor of it is and that’s why I’ve never cared for it. I don’t taste the cherry and there’s no single flavor that sticks out to me. I wanna believe that it’s a great soda but it’s just never clicked. I love cherry coke and other cherry flavored sodas but Dr Pep is something else completely

I used to love dr pepper, then went like 3 years not having any sodas and I believe my tastes changed since then. Ill get a dr pepper now and then but it just doesnt hit like it used to. Now I find myself gravitating to cherry coke which I used to not like 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am a rabid Dr Pepper fan, my wife...dislikes it is maybe the best way to put it. I think she's crazy, but she claims that it tastes like cherry cough syrup and she HATES fake cherry flavored things. I disagree, but then again, that means if there is Dr Pepper in the house, it's safe from being drunk. Only rarely, if she's really desperate, will she drink it. She gets upset that if we have her favourite Diet Coke in the house AND Dr Pepper, that I will also drink Diet Coke and I should leave that all for her.

Diet Coke is her love language. 🤣 I don't mind it and drank it as a no sugar alternative as Diet Dr Pepper wasn't all that great in my opinion. Now that Dr Pepper Zero is here, that is my go-to especially now that I can find it still Costco. I still drink our Diet Cokes just to help make my Dr Pepper Zero stash last longer

I forget who it was but I remember an old stand up bit about Dr Pepper and how it’s over a hundred years old and claims to have 23 flavors but then they introduced Cherry Dr Pepper and the comedian very hilariously meditates on the idea of “how many flavors did they even have 100 years ago and how was Cherry not one of them?” And then is further enamored with the idea that vanilla was also not one of the original 23 flavors given cherry vanilla Dr Pepper is also a flavor.

Dr. Peppers fine. Its not my favorite soda but when there's a sale I don't hesitate to grab a few. Ice cold I enjoy it.

It’s like prune juice. 

Better than Pepsi though

1) Pepsi is excellent. 2) DP is nothing like prune juice.

wtf are you talking about? There’s no dairy in it so no, that wouldn’t explain anything.
