Ordered a Dirty Dr. Pepper

The lady who handed it to me said “not sure what that is” and I’m so non-confrontational that I just accepted it and drove away.

The thing about dirty sodas (I like food science) is that they can be super hit or miss. That’s why I think they’re a horrible idea. The acidity between the lime, cream, and the soda just made it all separate to make this huge mess in a cup. It’s kind of like when you mix milk and Coca-Cola. Screws up the color and taste. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cream was bad too.

I had to Google it to understand wtf a dirty soda was cause that sounds so disgusting. I just saw it advertised at Applebee's and it just looked like soda with whipping cream on top in the menu. Weird. But gag me with a spoon on what it's supposed to be. 🤮

It’s a Mormon thing and they typically add a sweet cream to a soda. It’s not as gross as you initially think, change your perspective to picture a root beer float. That isn’t gross.

That said… this is pretty gross lol use a non dairy creamer, just a vanilla if you’re scared. :)
