      Cognitive dissonance isn’t a pleasant feeling, which is why clever folks don’t get along with everyone; only other clever ppl.

    Dr is a combination of cola and rootbeer it’s actually closer to being a rootbeer than a cola

    Sounds like a great episode of GMM for a blind taste test.

    "The 23 flavors are cola, cherry, licorice, amaretto, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, blackberry, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamon, all spice, coriander, juniper, birch and prickly ash." Root Beer has similar botanicals but differs in the ingredients, as does coca cola. When you mix two spiced brown sodas, it will taste like a spiced brown soda, but to imply any similarity beyond that doesn't really check out for me, since I hate the flavor of root beer, and like the flavor of Dr. Pepper. I also don't think the 2/1 coke root beer mix tastes like Dr. Pepper.

      "sarsaparilla" there's where he's getting his idea for it being root beer - Dr Pepper and most Root Beers probably use the same sarsaparilla substitute flavorings to get that old timey flavor (since I know they don't use actual sarsaparilla these days). But its still going to be lacking a lot of other flavors. Adding sarsaparilla flavor to coke does not a dr pepper make.

      My question is then...how do cherry, cherry vanilla, and Dr Pepper with cream soda still claim to be 23 flavors?
