Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Originally uploaded by latca
Let's get this straight right away: I hate diet soda. All brands, all flavors, I hate them all. I'd rather drink filtered water or unsweetened ice tea than diet pop. But every once in a while, I do try some in my failing efforts to consume less calories. Here are my personal thoughts on some of the major players:
DIET COKE -- If I were dying of thirst some remote part of the Sahara Desert, and a nice Bedouin came up to me and offered me the choice of drinking an ice cold Diet Coke or a cup of camel urine, I would be sorely tempted to try the camel urine...
DIET PEPSI -- A tiny bit better than Diet Coke, but still mostly undrinkable for me.
DIET DR. PEPPER -- Oh my goodness, this stuff almost tastes like real Dr. Pepper! Still has the horrid chemical soup after taste like all the rest, but at least it comes with in spittin' distance of the Real Thing.
VERDICT: If you just have to drink diet soda, go for the good Doctor -Dr. Pepper. At least it sucks less.
