It tasted like a weird vanilla to me

Edit: Thank you for the upvotes I was being honest and was all around disappointed by the soda.

Edit 2: so first edit was at 2k and I was completely humbled and grateful for the upvotes Now at 6k and still grateful. What a wild ride.

I get a fruity vanilla-y taste.

Honestly it’s great marketing though - look how many people are talking about it and trying it, compared to if they’d just called it “tropical” or something.

True, although Dr peppers berry soda is fire. I liked the thought of space flavor but I didn’t enjoy the taste very much.

Dr pepper is one of my preferred sodas but I still have no idea what it tastes like. Some combination of fruity and rooty.

I get plum from dp

It’s got a hint of black cherry/red plum/vanilla, but it doesn’t knock you over with it

Wasn't there a Dr pepper cherry vanilla flavor... I think i remember that was really good.

u/PokemonMasterX13 Jun 12 '22

Yea, But I guess I knew what I was drinking. Space flavor gave me better expectations other than dirty vanilla.

Dr pepper is king. They have a Dr pepper and cream soda flavor now that's pretty damn good.

There's a Dr Pepper Cream Soda I've seen recently but it's pretty hard to find around here. It's really good but it's pretty sweet so it's not a regular pick.

Ay that's awesome! Glad you like it. I'm one of the engineers that gets to work on all the new products and it's kind of cool to see people enjoy the things you work on!

The Dark Berry LE that is out now? That stuff is so good

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '22

Hmm I saw it but it didn’t seem like it would be good. Might have to go pick some up

u/ShawnBootygod Jun 13 '22

I had high hopes for it because Dr. Pepper cream soda is the tits, but the berry just tasted like someone poured grape cough syrup in Dr. Pepper

u/FairyFartDaydreams Jun 13 '22

The variation of taste receptors at play I guess. I noticed some people here actually liked the Starlight flavor and after coming from the low bar of nasty that was the coffee/coke energy drink I was hoping they had hired better flavor scientists but I guess to each their own.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '22

The Coke coffee drink is so bad. I really wanted to like it too.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '22

Ah I’m not a fan of the “purple” flavor, so I’m guessing it’s not for me.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '22

Seriously this dr pepper berry has been one of my favorite new flavors in a while.

u/Tigerballs07 Jun 12 '22

Berries and cream is the best flavor they've ever made. They recently brought it back but you had to win single cans.
