It tastes about as good as it sounds.

To be more specific, just imagine that someone managed to liquefy a pound of tootsie rolls into 12oz of carbonated beverage and added some maraschino cherry juice to it.

The aftertaste is pretty harsh. It's the boldness of the fake chocolate flavor sticking to your tongue. No delicious cherri-ness whatsoever. I figured if I drank it with ice that it might somehow water down that kick to a certain degree.

The end result was that during the process of finishing it off, I felt the ice on my lips and realized that I was drinking a chocolate carbonated beverage. Ice and chocolate just don't seem to work together. Neither do chocolate and carbonation.

I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone but folks who maybe try energy drinks just for kicks. *raises hand* Or if you just want something unique. But look in the box... there's a reason it's only available for a limited time.

Watch this video while you drink it. It'll help. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x2W12A8Qow)

Oh, God, that sounds horrible.

Our secretary will probably buy a case of it with our snacks. She's never met an artificial flavor she didn't like.

We even had candy corn soda for Halloween.

She wound up taking most of that home, since it was largely untouched.

yes please. you knows how i love the dr pepper (shout out to lil j's dr pepper lip balm giftage of, erm, 2000). although it must be said - i thought cherry vanilla dr pepper would be, like, the nectar of the gods and i wasn't that impressed when i tried it. it was diet, though. pfft, diet drinks.

i had a cherry-themed party last weekend and we ordered a load of american goodz online. i think cherry flavour is second place only to grape flavour in popularity for your nation. we got a crate of cherry 7up, cherry twizzlers, black cherry jell-o, cherry betty crocker cake mix ("super moist!"), cherry lifesavers and cherry and passionfruit tictacs etc etc. super awesome.

no cherries were harmed during the making of the party.

How many popped cherry jokes where said on that night?? :D

I did a Dr Pepper ad campaign at uni. I don't think I've properly enjoyed a bottle since I saw it everday for about six months.
