When I was a kid, none of the stores in my tiny little town carried Dr Pepper, but one time, on a road trip with my family, I saw some at a gas station so I bought a bottle. Well all tried it and all four of us agreed that it was absolutely vile.
I don't understand why anyone would willingly pour that bile into their system/
Prunes, dates, etc. are among the earwax class of fruits. Seriously, take a gob of either on the end of your finger and ask someone to try it. Then again, you'll probably get the same response as if you were handing them a Dr Pepper.
Dr Pepper! The only soda I will ever drink (at risk of being exiled from family gatherings).
Hahaha I love this follow up to the last comic (and people's reactions to it.) Good stuff as always.
I love Dr Pepper, right on Scott! First panel was very funny
At last! Someone who not only likes Dr Pepper but spells it properly -- without the "." -- awesome.
Dr. Pepper is "the awesome", and frankly the only soft drink worthy of the title of "drink". Anybody who disagrees is, simply, wrong.
Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the GODS, dammit.
Mmmm. Have you ever had Dublin Dr Pepper? I love it, but it's hard to find.
When I have to defend my dr pepper-drinking habits I usually say it tastes horrible in a very delicious way.
I like the fact that this functions as a followup to yesterdays comics comments, but I thought you wrote these things weeks in advance so you could serve them to cracked?
So is this an exception, or did you just foresee exactly how this whole dr pepper debacle would play out weeks ago?
Note from Scott: I wrote the comics one right after the other, then timed the posting so they'd run that way as well.
I actually love Dr. Pepper. I was so sad when I had to give up caffeine... I mean, I'm told there's a caffeine-free version out there, but I have yet to see a store with it.
Derr Pepper: Ride the prune!
In my experience, everyone either likes Dr Pepper OR Root Beer. These seem to be the most divisive beverages. Yet, mysteriously, restaurants that don't have Dr Pepper or equivalent will always recommend root beer as a substitute.
As I've told my friends and family, if I'm lying on the floor asking for a doctor, they know to go get the good stuff.
Wow, I didn't even realize anyone could hate Dr Pepper. I'll drink any soda, there are certain ones I prefer over others but there's no particular soda I hate, it's all just different colors of fizzy sugar-water to me.
If it were more widely known, you could use Vernor's for this. People outside Michigan continually marvel at the fact that people in Michigan drink it, and so does most of the population of Michigan.
Dr Pepper is hilariously caffeinated. This is why I buy it. It makes me awake when I need to awake.
I love Dr Pepper as well. Then again, I also like prunes, dates, figs, etc.
I love Dr Pepper too. My friends seem to hate it, though. I am indifferent to their distaste.
I guess there must be quite a lot of people who like it, otherwise they wouldn't still make loads of it. I'm in that rare position of being ambivalent about it though.
I have a friend who likes Dr Pepper.
He is, of course, very very weird and single.
I love Dr Pepper, and it is very hard to find in Barcelona. When I try to explain to people how Dr Pepper tastes, I always say it's like the offspring of a Tootsie Pop mating with a Pepsi. For some extrange reason, it does not seem to make it more appealing.
Next comic: How to shamelessly and discretely product-place.
Dr Pepper has nothing on Moxie.
There slogan is "Your co workers won't steal THIS from the fridge at work"
Aw Dr Pepper is for sissies who cannot handle the subtleties of Mr Pibb!
Mr Pibb has a smoother taste and gentle bite compared to Dr Pepper - I will always prefer to drink Mr Pibb before Dr Pepper!
(which is a preference irritated by the fact that I live in a "Pibb-free" city -- I grew up on Mr Pibb and actually drive miles to purchase enough to keep myself supplied for months)
