Like how many Dr. Pepper knockoffs there are with and without college educations, like Dr. Thunder and Mr. Pibb?
This reminded me of Cheerwine. I think Dr. Thunder Cherry was pretty similar to it too if I remember. I preferred both over Dr. Pepper growing up. But maybe that was because it was cheaper. I haven't had Cheerwine in forever; but I remember it being pretty bomb.
it’s so sweet
I'm a Tarheel, Cheerwine is near and dear to me. I don't live far from the bottling plant. Used to be, you wouldn't see it far outside the Carolinas, now it's shipped internationally.
Makes sense. I grew up in Atlanta. Think it was in basically every grocery store. I haven't seen it on the West Coast where I live now though. Miss it.
Pretty much. Ive personally seen "Dr. Thirsty" and "Dr. Percky" as well.
