Come on man you forgot the Dr. Thunder…
Loves the stuff according to his book, Anthropocene Reviewed. Good read.
It’s wild that it hasn’t actually been called Mr. Pibb in over twenty years but that’s still what everyone knows it as.
I’m a Dr Pepper fan, but almost everyone around me hates the stuff.
I guess it’s a niche taste.
I don’t see my boy, Dr. Thunder and I’m unhappy about it.
Back in the 90’s, on a military base, there was a vending machine that sold something like, “Mr. Pepper.”
Straight up had hints of actual black pepper.
Dr Pepper is good, but have you tried their Dr. Pepper + Cream Soda. It’s insanely good, probably the best cola there is. It’s everything complex and interesting about the Dr. plus a kiss of creamy goodness that allows it to soar to new heights.
If that flavor was a stock, I would buy it and never sell it. Diamond hands forever.
I think blind only has an ‘e’ at the end when describing women.
“But how are you going to turn this into a commercial about socks?”
I was not thinking that at all, but I guess that’s what it is now.
assuming this isnt west coast? i want to find pib in a can damn it! Mcdonalds switch to dr pepper and cant find it now
Never had the chance to try cherry cola and its probably the one American thing that I really want to try the most.
I said to a colleague that sent me this video “Im impressed I have never tasted dr pepper and pibb side by side but Im not sure I could tell the difference”. the description of wanting to make a taste of how the pharmacy smelled is so fucking terrifying but Ill drink that shit anyway.
There’s a chapter in his book *The Anthropocene Reviewed* about Diet Dr. Pepper and it’s actually fascinating.
[Here’s the podcast](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed/episodes/episode-1-canada-geese-and-diet-dr-pepper) version if you want to listen.
The background about Dr Pepper being invented by a chemist was actually really interesting. I didn’t know that but it explains why it tastes so unique.
I’ve always thought that it was supposed to be prune flavored. Especially when consumed as suggested, hot.
What about A&W root beer?
Dr Pepper TEN was the greatest of them all. Too beautiful to live.
Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too
Seeing stuff like this ALWAYS reminds me of the mustachioed man of orange soda fame.

I love that he compares Dr Pepper to A Love Supreme, as if that will make it clearer for the audience.
That said, go listen to A Love Supreme. It’s a mind fuck in the best way.
Dr. Pepper has a very unique flavor. I believe that it boasts of having 23 components ranging from cherry, to coriander, to cinnamon and blackberry.
Its true composition is a secret, but Dr. Pepper insists that it does not contain prune juice, a long held myth.
It also does not contain extracts of the cola nut, which makes it not a cola. It most likely contains some of the same roots and spices as a traditional root beer, but there are fruit flavors in there as well. So it falls outside of the root beer category as well.
Dr. Pepper describes itself as a “pepper soda”.
Fun facts: Dr. Pepper is owned by the Snapple group. That’s who makes it for America. The Dr. Pepper they drink in Europe is made by Coca Cola and Pepsi makes it for the Australian market. I don’t know if it is even marketed in Asia. Dr. Pepper has numerous imitators with names ranging from Mr. Pibb, to Dr. Thunder and even Dr. South.
Weird stuff that Dr. Pepper.
— Not OP – comment I found from a 4 year old quora question but I thought it was interesting.
Have you Dr Pepper fans tried [MacFuddy Pepper Elixer](https://www.amazon.com/Retro-MacFuddy-Pepper-Elixir-Pack/dp/B0064I0FDO)? I love it.
lol, this is like a parody of himself
What about Dr. Thunder?
They ruined it in the uk with artificial sweeteners
The amount of times he insults Mr. Pibb… Number one, how dare him!
Even at the end he’s talking how the grocery store brand typically does better, then is shocked it is Pibb. I like both Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb, if I want something a bit more syrup tasting Pibb is my clear choice.
One of the rules of this channel’s videos is that videos must be under four minutes long unless they are educational. If that rule is broken, the uploader has to be punished on a future video.
Not sure whether this counts as educational…
“Worse than water.”
This guy is about to get murdered by the r/HydroHomies
I clocked out as soon as he said “It’s worse than water”
Wait are people actually impressed by this? What person cannot pick out the distinct taste of aspartame that sweetens Diet Dr Pepper or Stevia, the sweetener in the 10 dollar for a 6 pack Dr Zevia?
Mr. Pibb forever
I’m not even a soda fan, but Dr Pepper is some strangely good shit.
It’s time to play “Drank or Stank?”
This brings me back, early 90s advertising for Coke and Pepsie was all about the blind taste tests
i have always gotten a very strong bitter almond extract taste from Dr pepper along with cherry and what i can only call “spice”
