another "additionally invested" flavor... wonder why it wasn't done with coca cola unless '<span style="font-size: 12pt;">coca cola cocoanut' is too much...</span>

No thank you! Yuk! I like my sodas straight, without flavored stuff in them. Keep it simple and true. These days I drink more water than anything else.

Barry,
I totally agree with you! The soda’s flavor should stand on its own. And like you, I seldom drink sodas and filtered water is my preferred drink.
On Easter we had my brother and his girlfriend for dinner and bought a 2 liter bottle of Canada Dry Ginger Ale, which we only poured two glasses of ginger ale from. The rest to that 2 liter bottle is still in the fridge, untouched.
To me soda pop is an occasional treat. Just too many empty calories with zero nutritional value.

I like coffee flavored coffee, cola flavored cola, and I think I'll stick with Dr. Pepper flavored Dr. Pepper.
I heard that Dr. Pepper just pushed Pepsi out of the #2 sales position.
Dr. Pepper has been around since 1885, a year before Coke.

Not so hot?
I'm guessing that "Creamy" means cream soda, which is far too sweet for my taste. I can't even imagine what the coconut part tastes like, but highly doubt there is any natural flavoring behind either of them. If this is the case, they shouldn't even be calling it Dr. Pepper, which is at best a last resort if I'm wanting something fizzy. Right now there's only tonic and seltzer water in my '52 Kelvinator.
The only additional flavoring I've ever liked and pretty much came and went back in the '60s was Royal Crown's "cola with a twist," which came in a returnable glass bottle as sodas all used to, and had a touch of real lemon flavoring and seemingly no extra sugar, which gave it a mildly tart finish.

For all of my 70 years, I always wanted a Pepsi for soda. You can prefer what you want to drink, I dont care, although, I rarely drink soda now. Never liked Dr. Pepper.
Dr. Pepper always reminds me of a woman that I worked with many years ago who was quite obese. She began every workday with a breakfast that she would pickup at 7-11 on her way to work that consisted of a Big Gulp cup (32 oz..) of Dr. Pepper, a large container (2 cups) of Kozy Shake Tapioca and chased it with a kingsize Snickers. She ate this at her desk as soon as she arrived to work. There must have easily been about 2100 calories in that breakfast.

I can't remember the last time I bought soda...
And, since my coffee maker failed last week, I'm fine without coffee, either. Don't know if I'll get it fixed...
In my young and foolish days, the only soda I'd drink was Dr. Pepper. Then in 2003-ish, I did a search (I think it on Ask Jeeves) on each ingredient and their health effects. Quit soda cold turkey after that.
I'd lying if I said I wasn't curious though

bloated
As much as I like Dr. Pepper, I hate that it makes you feel bloated after awhile.

I remember getting a bottle of Dr Pepper when I was a youngun and didn't like it at all. It was a like a weird tasting root beer which I did like. Years later I did try it again and quite liked it though I rarely drink any pop now. I don't care for mash up mixes like Cherry or Vanilla Coke etc. Anyone remember some grocery stores had self fill 2 liter bottle machines with a selection of maybe 15 or so different flavors. They weren't around too long maybe the reason being the floor was a sticky mess
Back in the early 1960s when I was a tyke, my sister (12 years older than me) would invite her high school friends over and they’d heat Dr. Pepper in a saucepan on the cooktop and drink it in coffee cups. I insisted on trying it and it came up almost as soon as it went down. That was the end of my curiosity about Dr. Pepper.
Not a huge fan of coconut, so the new flavor is definitely not for me.

Eugene you are always a source of good information and now humour!, thanks for the chuckle
Eugene,
I can recall seeing magazine ads in the 50’s and 60’s for Dr. Pepper that showed hot Dr. Pepper served in cups with slices of lemon floating on the surface. I believe that these ads usually ran during the holiday season. These ads looked festive, but your experience with hot Dr. Pepper sounds like it wasn’t festive at all LOL!

For some reason, I think of Dick Clark being associated with my memories of print and television ads for hot Dr. Pepper. I also remember Lorraine Newman promoting HDP in a SNL skit. I tried it once with some friends many years ago just for kicks and wasn't impressed. For quirk factor, it was right up there with cold Tab.

Eddie,
One of my favorite ways to drink ginger ale is mixed with Jameson Irish whiskey.

Tim,
I used to like Ginger Ale with bourbon too. But I gave up drinking alcohol over 42 years ago because I got into too much trouble behind it. One drink was too many and a hundred weren’t enough. I don’t miss it at all, but for those that can control their intake more power to you.
I still like Ginger Ale, but seldom drink it because I don’t need the extra empty calories, its a once in a while special treat now.

Mixed my various kinds of ginger ale or ginger beer with Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and other more common brands of whiskey, so Irish Whiskey is pretty much a rarity for me, and I have lime juice with it as well…
If Irish Whiskey really gives drinks a different taste then I would like to try it but many things including drinking has grown expensive so I’ve limited my intake of alcohol myself…
