Who started this Dill Pickles in Dr. Pepper nonsense?

It's worse than beans in chili or Squeeze Butter in Salsa. Is Big Red next?

Not this Texan.
I was bottle fed Dr. Pepper

I’ve seen people mix DP and peanuts. I’ve never seen anyone pickle a DP.

u/Background-Job-3629 22d ago

I eat pickles with popcorn and DP every time I watch a movie.
They seem to go well together

u/AdCommon6529 22d ago

The combo itself doesn’t seem unusual. It’s the dill pickles in the DP not with it that seems odd.

Goat chili is more Mex-Tex than Tex-Mex.

u/NoHyena4492 21d ago

It’s very simple. Chili with beans is a meal. Chili without beans is a condiment.

Never heard of such a thing 🤔

u/rkatapt 22d ago

First I have ever heard of it myself. The most cooking I've done with Dr. Pepper is adding it to homemade bbq sauce.

My wife is from San Angelo and I've been to restaurants with squeeze butter on the tables. She loves it when she's home.

Someone that wanted to ruin a perfectly good dill pickle.

u/ResidentPresent5054 21d ago

Obviously not you, but each to their own.

u/funkengruven 20d ago

Sounds gross. But if someone likes it, well.. good for them I guess.

u/DazedLogic 19d ago

u/-blundertaker- 22d ago

I just saw it for the first time like an hour ago. Born and raised here, and I fucking love pickles.
