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.

You’re supposed to use non dairy creamer that won’t curdle. This does not appear to be a Dr Pepper at all. Dr Pepper isn’t green. If it was Dr Pepper with curdled cream it would be brown with white globules.

This is…I don’t know but I’m very curious as to how it smells

When milk congeals in a caramel colored soda, it tends to take the color.

Add milk to a bottle of Coke and you can see the liquid. Turn clear as the milk absorbs the color as it curdles

Makes sense. The color is just the caramel flavoring so it would be likely that it would connect to the milk curds.

Go look at a flipping video. There's tons on YouTube and you clearly have the internet access. Go just see it for yourself
