Slog - Comments on Please Bring it Back http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/please_bring_it_back And by "it" I mean Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper. I know it sounds like something I should despise as much as I despise pre-made root beer floats, but I promise it's really really good. (Unless you're one of the many who hate any and all diet soda, in which case, you'll hate this just as much.) It was in stores about, oh, eight or nine months ago. I could only find it in a few local supermarkets and 7-11s, but it was worth the trek to the out-of-the-way store. It was delicious. Because of it, I'll probably get cancer....

I feel the same way about anything banana flavored.

I still have 10 left from a 12 pack that I will never drink. If you want them, they are yours. First come, first serve.

I mean, some artificial strawberry flavours out there are just plain fucking nasty bad, but faux chocolate flavours, regardless of the quality, send shivers down my spine.

Some things in nature are not meant to be trifled with.

Any product that combines "chocolate" with "soda" should be banned, and its makers imprisoned.

Specifically the one in Kenmore. There's one on Hwy 99 too. I'd check there.

Not that I condone consuming such products.

My love for Code Red Mountain Dew was far and away surpassed.

Here here! Where's our Dr. Pepper that tastes like someone dropped in some Tootie Rolls and a cherry Jolly Rancher...?

Artificial chocolate can be hit or miss (better than most but not all real chocolate), but chocolate in soda is always a good idea. Not as good as strawberry, grape, or orange, but good nonetheless.

I make this distinction because Tay Zonday impregnated my brain with the jingle.

best Diet around is Shasta Diet Grapefruit - chill it well - tastes like old time Squirt - very good - excellent mixer, much better than modern Fresca
