"Why would you blend coca cola and colgate toothpaste and drink it. I thought root beer was something completely different to dr pepper"
unless we Brits have a definition of Root Beer then understood Dr. P was a "branded" american version - and my taste experiences of it were that ... just wondered if anyone else felt the same?? |

Totally different, Root beer is awesome or mix in a half pint glass, half glass measure of lager, half glass measure of coca cola and one shot of amaretto. Voila you have alcoholic Dr Pepper.  |

"Dr Pepper is not Root Beer.
Root beer does taste like some kind of medical sterilizing fluid...
Dr Pepper tastes like cherry Coke..."
ah, apologies to Dr Pepper fans.. had mistaken it was same - but al least my thoughts on RB are recognised  |

Ditto. Root Beer tastes like recycled dentist mouthwash. Dr. Pepper has a nice refreshing flavour when it's really cold and you're really thirsty. |

Root beer is not Dr Pepper, they are two totally separate drinks.
There aren't that many places that sell root beer now. I love it, its my favourite drink and I make the most of it when in the states.
Many years ago they used to sell it in Macdonalds but stopped as it wasn't very popular. I love it

Root beer was originally made using the root of a sassafras plant (or the bark of a sassafras tree) as the primary flavor. Dr Pepper is a soft drink marketed as having a unique flavor. W.W. Clements, a former CEO and president of the Dr Pepper/7-Up Company, described the taste of Dr Pepper as one-of-a-kind, saying, "I've always maintained you cannot tell anyone what Dr Pepper tastes like because it's so different. It's not an apple, it's not an orange, it's not a strawberry, it's not a root beer, it's not even a cola. It's a different kind of drink with a unique taste all its own." |

I've only ever had root beer once and that was back when McD's used to sell it in the UK.
That once was enough !
I quite like Dr Pepper though - wouldn't go out and buy it all the time but it makes a change from Diet Coke every now n then.
My favourite 'pop' of the minute is Asda's own brand diet lemonade with raspberry. Lovely in a tall glass with lots of ice. |
