Well we all have our favorites and even though we say we want a coke, sometimes we actually mean a Dr. Pepper. So what do you like more. Now, don't put that you don't like either, b/c I don't want to know that you don't like it. So if you had a choice b/t the 2, which would you pick?
Personally, I have to say that Dr. Pepper has been my friend since I was able to walk, and it hasn't let me down yet.

I picked Coke, but the real drink for me is Cheerwine. It doesn't get much (if any) visibility in Texas, but I tried it once when I was in North Carolina, and now my friend from that area brings me a case every time she comes home from the holidays.

I voted Coke. I do however, prefer RC Cola when it's available.

I was a loyal Dr Pepper drinker for years. For some strange reason for the past 3 years,I've been drinking nothing but Coke. All soda is fatting but I thought DP was heavier tasting than Coke. So I switched and I am addicted!!!!

P.S. I have a DP every now and then for old time sake. But when I'm eating BBQ,it's strictly BIG RED!!!

:D

It kinda tastes like a suicide you used to make at the soda fountain as a kid. It's like coke, cherry coke, and grape cola all combined into one. You can get it shipped to your home for $1 a can.

I was thinking, does anyone actually know where "suicide" came from? It's awful negative for such an awesome drink.

I haven't a clue, but it's been around since I was a kid. :eek: I remember getting them at Little League games when we lived in Canadian and you could get them with or without pickle juice.

BLYEK!!!

The suicide drink was bad enough by itself.......but pickle juice????

To this day I still mix the cherry and coke slurpees at 7-11. (That is if you can find those flavors....it seems to be more "melon Kiwi" and crap like that now!!

I always got suicide w/o pickle juice. If you got the foul ball, you could trade it in for a snow cone. That's when I got pickle juice. :D :doh:
