just what is Dr. Pepper Flavor?

@Flyingcursor

I’ll have to order some of that and some of that North Carolina Ginger Ale we once had a thread about.
Who remembers what that was called?

I don’t know of any NC Ginger Ales. The only Ginger Ale
discussion I remember was about Blenheim… wait, I just looked
up Blenheim and it’s bottled in South Carolina (I didn’t know that),
so maybe that’s what you were referring to after all…

That’s the one. I too just finished searching for it. According to Blenheimshrine there’s a store in Ann Arbor Michigan that sells it. I could drive over there!!

Watch out for the one with the red bottlecap. That sucker is not for the timid!

I like this description from the Blenheim Shrine:
“sort of like drinking extremely tasty sandpaper”

As for the cane sugar, I was reading that many U.S. cane sugar refineries use bone char in the filtering process. It’s still deemed kosher though.

It’s true..in health food stores, for extreme vegans, you can find “non bone char sugar”

It’s called “sugar in the raw.”

But if you truly like your soda to taste like cough syrup, skip the Dr. Pepper and try this North Carolina specialty:

I had to make a special pitstop on our way north from Asheville to snag a few bottles of this for my daughter who’d decided, after trying it on her mission trip, that it hit the spot.

I have drinken that. It’s the grossest thing in the whole world. It tastes like sweet blood. It’s awful.

I know folks who love Cheerwine. I’ve had it and its ok, but its not Dr Pepper.

@brianc

So you think Dr. Pepper is bad?

Ever try this?

Ooooooh! I have adored Moxie since I was a small child! It has the most delightful medicinal taste! Mmmmmmmmmm!

I’m talking specifically about white sugar which has been refined using another method other than bone char carbon filtration…a different thing entirely than “Sugar in the raw”

Diet Dr Pepper has no sugar or corn syrup.

What’s it’s secret?

[fearfaoin]

Cheerwine is the bestest. Back when I had a high motabolism, I used to
pour it over Bryers mint-chocolate-chip icecream. Food Lion has skipped
the “pouring” step by coming out with a Cheerwine icecream.

When I went to Philmont Scout camp in New Mexico with a group of North
Carolinians, one scout was dismayed that the Dairy Queen in NM did not
have Cheerwine icecream floats. In our naivete, we hadn’t realized it was
a Carolinas-only product.

In summary, Cheerwine + Icecream = Crazy delicious!

Uh, Aspartame. Most diet sodas have either Aspartame (Nutrasweet)
or Sucralose (Splenda) as “artificial” sweeteners.

The Cheerwine packaging - has there been litigation by Coke? Looks like there’s some passing-off there…

Coca-Cola does it too: Sprite copied the color-scheme of 7up and Mr. Pibb is a knockoff of Dr. Pepper.
