I cannot express the rage I feel at the discontinuation of Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. I still fondly remember its introducion. I stumbled upon it in Virginia while at a SANS conference there. I had to wait six months for its introduction into Florida. My opinion of it was not unlike a review from bevreview.
It’s bad enough we’re in a huge recession which we will likely emerge from “officially” with years of shit job growth to follow, but now my favorite diet drink is gone. What the mother fuck?
The sad replacement, Cherry Dr Pepper, is really awful by comparison. It is being pimped out with a $1 off coupon to entise you to buy it. I must admit I am guilty of buying it for the $1 off coupon, as I had not known Cherry Vanilla had been killed. No more. I won’t improve the initial sales numbers of a product that killed Cherry Vanilla.
I’d care less if I wasn’t drinking diet sodas. Sadly, nearly all diet soda tastes like fucking ass. Only Dr Pepper tastes any good, or I’d have options other than merely regular Dr Pepper. Fuck fuck.
Now that I have been alive enough for some of my favorite food (Panera Crispani) and beverage experiences to get annihiliated, I find it a little fucking irritating. Thank fucking deity good NY style pizza isn’t going away; At least, not at the singular whims of a multi-national corporation.

Welcome to drinkaholics not-so-anonymous. I’m still trying to find a replacement for peruvian chocolate. Unfortunately all american/european chocolate tastes like ass in comparison.
