You've gone too far

Dr. Pepper needs to reevaluate its marketing department. The latetst installment from the Dr. Pepper franchise is this:

Thats right. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. As if this wasn't insulting enough to my sense of taste, they try further to real you into buying this drink with this:

Thats right folks. Get your classic diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper, just like Pops uses to serve back when you and your best pal Jughead used to talk about Betty and Veronica and Jughead's obsession with hambugers. And of course Big Ethel had a crush on Jughead. Those were the days. And nothing makes me think of those days more than the Soda fountain classic of a Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. The worst part is that it tastes no different (as far as I can tell) than Regular Diet Dr. Pepper, which despite millions of dollars of advertising, tastes no more like regular Dr. Pepper than it ever did. In summary, don't buy this drink more than once.

I must respectfully disagree with you, Mr. Arnold.

I find this drink to be the nectar of the gods. Indeed, it is truly a thoroughly thirst-quenching drink for the ages.

Sorry to disagree, but as they say, teach a man to fish and he will defend your right to say it...forever.

I have to agree. I don't really like the diet version all that much, but the regular version is my favorite beverage right now. And in fact seems to be quite popular since food lion seems to have trouble keeping it in stock.

So f you man...f you right in your a with a q.

Let's clarify that I was agreeing with Jimmy, who is right and not charlie who is in fact wrong.

I was unaware of the existance of the non diet variety. Had I seen that, I would have in fact chosen that and we might have seen an entirely different post.
