We don\'t have Dr. Pepper, but we have Root Beer
I used to be an avid Dr. Pepper drinker, and since have gone back to mostly Coke, but I still enjoy it from time to time. However, at restaurants, I ask for Dr. Pepper and they tell me they don't have it, but have root beer.
Am I missing something here? I can't figure this out -- the two drinks do not even taste remotely similar, and I hate root beer. Nobody I know has a clue, either. |

[/ QUOTE ] I was at Pizza Hut with a friend a few years ago and he ordered a root beer. The waitress then says, "I'm sorry, we don't have root beer...but we do have wild cherry Pepsi!" We were baffled and still joke about it today. |

Re: We don\'t have Dr. Pepper, but we have Root Beer
Not to hijack, but I've always had a question about Dr. Pepper/Mr. Pibb. What the hell is it supposed to taste like? I love it, but I have no idea what the flavor is. My mom always tried to tell me it was cherry, but I never bought it. I don't taste cherry.

Re: We don\'t have Dr. Pepper, but we have Root Beer
ot,
Syrupy, I dunno. I'm sure you could go to their website and they will tell you what it's supposed to taste like. The power of suggestion is very powerful when it comes to taste. I grew up in a Dr. Pepper town and always coveted Mr. Pibb, although to my knowledge there is virtually no difference. |

Re: We don\'t have Dr. Pepper, but we have Root Beer
I understand, but what flavor would you use to describe it, if you had to?
EDIT: Tuq, this isn't in response to your post. |
