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.
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.
Pretty much. Ive personally seen "Dr. Thirsty" and "Dr. Percky" as well.
