Violet, as in the violet used to flavor C. Howard gum/ mints; a blend of apricot pits & almonds similar to that used in the making of amaretto; horehound.

Tastes like cherry cola to me. I always thought that’s what it is. Anyway it would be my favorite cherry cola.

I drink Diet Dr Pepper (haven’t drank regular soda for 15 years) and I am convinced that it is the more healthy of the diet sodas out there. There are what seem to be the least harmful of the artificial sweeteners in it. And I am addicted

I can’t come up with 23 flavors, but three that I most detect would be raspberry, almond, and clove. I read somewhere (although I don’t know how much truth there is to this) that originally the flavor of Dr Pepper was supposed to imitate the smell of a soda shop and is therefore just a mishmash of different fruit flavors.

“whish, as already mentioned are probably just one single ingredient. But if some sort of almond flavouring in one of the ingredients”

…that should be “which” and “is”. It’s been a very, very long day.

I do tast artificial cherry and amaretto, whish, as already mentioned are probably just one single ingredient. But if some sort of almond flavouring in one of the ingredients, then it is most definitely artificial, since products are required by law to state on the label if the product contains severe allergens.

Plus, I had a roommate who was deathly allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (I mean, the SMELL of an almond would be cause enough for her to use an epi-pen), and she drank dr pepper all the time.

I bet the “cough syrup” taste is Root Beer!

You all are certifiable….
1)prunes are dried plums which makes the flavor more concentrated. duh.
2)does it really make a difference what it contains? unless you have a severe allergy, that is??
3)passover DP is made with cane sugar, just like the Dublin DP, and Canadian or Mexican colas and soft drinks…

Well, after 3,186 cans of Dr. Pepper, and an extended time behind closed doors, barricaded windows, fearing human contact, and playing World of War Craft… I have deliberated and debated with my multiple personalities and devised this final list of the 23 flavors. It goes as follows, in no particular order of importance or realism:

1. Hate.

2. That stuff the Gremlins hatched out of. You know, the goopy stuff.

3. Leprechauns.

4. The tears of orphans.

5. Medical waste. (for color and flavor!)

6. Farm fertilizer runoff.

7. Gun powder.

8. Smurfs.

9. Kessler’s… or some other cheap whiskey.

10. Shame.

11. Self-hatred.

12. Suicide.

13. Pharmaceutical grade morphine.

14. Dirt.

15. Clam juice.

16. Untested hallucinogenic compounds.

17. Battery acid.

18. Ball gag (artificial flavoring only).

19. KY Lubricant… the gel kind, not the liquid.

20. Leather.

21. Rubber.

22. Traumatic childhood.

23. Cheez-Whiz.

I’m reasonably certain these are the flavors I’ve been tasting… at least for the past few months. Is there a new Halo out yet….. where did I put my Dr. Pepper!??? OMG!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!! …….

………..

K, I found it. It was under my stomach. Man… 3,187…
