Dr pepper is a carbonated drink that has a great flavor
It used to be my drink of choice. I stopped about 4 years ago though.
yes I quit it too, but it was created in the 1880's by a pharmacist.
That's interesting. I wonder what the original taste was like! 
actually, it was introduced in 1885 only preceded by coca cola
I think it's very sweet now. I bet both it and coke would be unrecognizable to taste back then. 
yes i agree with you, variants include a version without high fructose
I really dislike the "diet" taste of soda. I do like the Mexican versions that claim to use cane sugar. Have you tried those?
