Dr Pepper vs. Root Beer

[-Kunoke-]

I thought it was kind of a funny and yet serious topic.

When it comes to the topic of Dr Pepper vs. Root Beer, I usually go for Dr Pepper more often.

What do all of you prefer? And why?

I like Dr Pepper more because of a few things. First, it has more of a bite. I don't like that smooth foamy feeling most Root Beers contain. Second, I think it's kind of cool, because to me, it tastes like a combination of Root Beer and Cola.

Overall, Dr P. just beats Root Beer for me. 🙂

(Although, I must confess, I love Dr Pepper, but Mountain Dew is my favorite soda.)

Dr Pepper is much sweeter and more flavourful than any root beer, so I would always choose Dr Pepper. In fact, it's the only carbonated beverage I really like 🙂

Yet another reason Dr Pepper is better to me. 🙂

Upon closer inspection, I found it has 40 grams of sugar a can. No wonder. 😛

I'd say it depends on the brand of root beer. I like A&W better than Mug. Dad's root beer is good also but you hardly ever see it 🙁.
I'll usually choose root beer over Dr. Pepper. Dr. pepper tends to be a bit too sweet to really be refreshing. Both Dr. Pepper and root beer actually taste good in diet versions which is always good since that's all I drink.

Here's an awesome site though...

Ahhh, yeah I see where that's coming from. I forgot about A&W. That's good stuff.

 

[Cbarton]

A&W or Barq's....can;t stand Dr. Pepper

 

[CellarDweller]

Dr. Pepper = Root beer?

I've never liked Root Beer. My least favorite soda. but I do like Dr. Pepper.

My fave sodas would be Mountain Dew, Sunkist Orange, and Welch's Grape.

This should totally be a poll. I used to be a Pepsi man myself, but when I started watching my weight, I realised that diet sodas suck. All of them except for diet Dr. Pepper, which tastes the same as the regular version. I've been on it ever since and I hardly ever drink Root Beer.

 

[nessonite1]

Done, Blingman 😛

I LOVE DP but have to admit that Pepsi is sweeter to the taste. I like Barq'a as far as root beer goes, but that and cream soda taste way too sugary for me.

Incidental footnote: 20% of DP sales nationwide come from my very own homestate, Texas. Just an FYI. Seeing as how it was originated here in Texas- Waco, to be exact, I guess I can understand.

🙂

 

[BoundToTickle]

um, I've been told Dr. Pepper is made with prune juice, mkay. (Warf on the Next Generation Trek would have called it the Drink of Warriors..) 🙂

Dr. Pepper is usually my choice just because I don't care for Pepsi. But it def. has to be a Mug Root Beer Float for me to drink root beer at all....

 

[blingman]

Thanks Nessie!

 

[girls_tickle_me1]

I do not like either one but would pick Dr Pepper over any style root beer probably because you will not find root beer on tap or in bottles at most fast food or even sit down restaurants for that matter. I just find root beer tastes too sweet, chocolatey and sugarey to my liking.

Is there a neither option? HDS despises any sort of soda-like beverage. Too much that is bad for you. HDS also apologies for letting some air out of the fun balloon.

That's quite alright HDS.......look below.....Nena showed up, and now, we have 98 more fun balloons.

Well, it wouldn't be my fault 😉 Ness added the poll in.

*points* 😛

 

[F.L. Atlanta 10]

I like both! Why the HELL wasn't there a 'Both' and 'Niether' Option, Nessie ? 😉 😛

 

[nessonite1]

cause the question, dear friends, was....

What do all of you prefer? And why?

It's not, Dr Pepper vs Root Beer vs Both vs Neither. 😛 Had he wanted to compare ALL sodas he would have. 😀

 

[AphxA1]

nothing beats the taste of a and w root beer, but my doctor says i have to drink more water.

 

[nessonite1]

Then you're in luck...there's lotsa water in soda! 😀

 

[His Divine Shadow]

There are better ways to get the water you need...
