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. But it was delicious.
Dr. Pepper people, I knew you said it was a limited edition, but I didn’t think you meant it. Don’t you companies just say that so people rush out and buy the product? I don’t understand. You kept the far inferior Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper on the shelves. Why’d you give chocolate the boot? Please bring it back.

Posted by Dubcek | September 9, 2008 11:18 AMAnything that tastes like chocolate, while not actually containing chocolate, is nasty. I feel the same way about anything banana flavored.
Posted by keshmeshi | September 9, 2008 11:21 AMThis was the foulest tasting beverage I've ever put into my mouth. 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.
Posted by Andrew | September 9, 2008 11:22 AMMegan, I love your posts, but girlfriend you have the WEIRDEST fetishes over perverted spin-offs of snack-food items.
Posted by Christin | September 9, 2008 11:23 AM@2: Same! 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.
Posted by Gloria | September 9, 2008 11:29 AMBetter or worse than Diet Coke with floor cleaner, I mean, lime?
Posted by Ziggity | September 9, 2008 11:33 AMWow, that is...really, really gross. Any product that combines "chocolate" with "soda" should be banned, and its makers imprisoned.
Posted by Hernandez | September 9, 2008 11:39 AMPretty sure I saw some of that stuff recently at a Grocery Outlet. Specifically the one in Kenmore. There's one on Hwy 99 too. I'd check there.
Not that I condone consuming such products.
Posted by The Tim | September 9, 2008 11:55 AMThat was by far the best soda I'd ever had. 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...?
Posted by josiethefiend | September 9, 2008 11:56 AMI saw someone behind the talking heads at the DNC convention who threw up a sign that said BRING BACK CRYSTAL PEPSI....it made my day

Posted by paulus | September 9, 2008 12:03 PMArtificial banana flavor is far superior to real banana flavor. 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.
Posted by Fnarf | September 9, 2008 12:17 PMTootie Rolls? Now you're just talking dirty.
Posted by Fnarf | September 9, 2008 12:21 PMIt's actually Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper, not Chocolate Cherry. I make this distinction because Tay Zonday impregnated my brain with the jingle.
Posted by trufe | September 9, 2008 12:41 PMThe only thing that sounds worse is "Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper Crunch."

Posted by Larkin | September 9, 2008 1:56 PMDr. Pepper Diet Berries & Cream was the one that did it for me. Orgasmic. I mourn for it still.
Posted by Irena | September 9, 2008 2:49 PMHa, thanks Fnarf. Spelling error humor FTW.
Posted by josiethefiend | September 9, 2008 4:02 PMI was so sure i was going to hate this stuff, but it turns out that I love it too.
