Berries 'n Cream Revisited.

posted by [personal profile] cathyr19355 at 12:10pm on 01/07/2006 under ,
Not too long ago, I complained about the latest Dr. Pepper product: Diet Dr. Pepper with Berries 'N Cream.

Last week, I finally nerved myself to buy a bottle and taste it.

It was not an experience that I intend to repeat. How can I describe the flavor? It tastes as though bad cream soda and bad black cherry soda miscegenated while somebody walked past the vat holding a sealed bottle of original Diet Dr. Pepper.

As near as I can tell, the only reason for this product is that they just wanted to be able to sell another variety of Dr. Pepper. So pointless.

At least their "Diet Cherry Vanilla" flavor spawned that wonderful commercial where the insufferable blind date's bullshit babble gets reduced to muppets singing "Ma-na-ma-na" whenever our heroine drinks the stuff.

There was a commercial? I watch TV so seldom that I didn't even know that.

So Berries 'N Cream didn't even merit a commercial? Gee, now I really wonder why they bothered.

It's a weird color, too... try pouring it into a white cup. It's sort of sickly reddish over the cola color...

Not that I'd be able to tell the difference from the ordinary color of Dr. Pepper, or even Diet Coke....I'm happy to take your word for it, though. The entire idea is so weird, nothing about it would surprise me.
