Dr Pepper was designed to taste like what a soda fountain smells like, a mix of flavors like when you made "swamp water" as a kid.
So it's "Dur Pepper's Monster" to me.

To Europeans it tastes like mouthwash

It's not selling very well I don't think

I thought that was Root Beer?

I'm German and I like both... Root beer is really difficult to get, though.

My mom told me Dr. Pepper was made from prune juice, which I guess is party true about the original formula.

I haven't looked in a while but in 2020, prune juice was still in the mandatory ingredients list. It's mainly corn syrup and water, but prune juice is involved, I think

It was made for me! This is my soda!
