All of a sudden they've added Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper to the vending machines downstairs. And, since the Diet Pepsi machine has lately taken to eating dollars, I decided to throw caffeinated caution to the wind and try it. I've been curious about DCVDP because, at least to my possibly-peculiar palate, Dr. Pepper already has at least a bit of cherry and vanilla flavor to it. And, lo: DCVDP tastes sort of like Diet Dr. Pepper that has been left sitting open on a counter for a day and then is re-carbonated. It's also for some reason the color of transmission fluid. Verdict: Thumbs down.
(And, yes, I know I shouldn't be drinking so much soda. Only those who go through some kind of religious or religious-like conversion can throw off all their vices at once, and so the soda vice is on hold while the my Weight Watchers offensive remains underway.)

i am drinking cherry 7up and it is DELIGHTFUL. and it only has 39 grams of sugar. nice, eh?
dcvdp is truly disgusting. a friend shared his with me and i have to say that is one of the grossest things i have ever had in my mouth.
I prefer to drink tea. It sure curbs my appetite.
Okay, my 11-year-old son likes it. Oh course, that could be because the first time he tasted it, it was ice cold, after a long day at ren-faire, and after breaking camp and cleaning up our camping area. Taste and smell bring back memories :) I, on the other hand, can't stand it either...
DCVDP is cough syrup. Pure, unadulterated cough syrup with fizz. Sick. I've recently been hooked on Diet Coke with Lime. I wish I could find tea satisfying, but it doesn't come carbonated!
I have to give DCVDP a big thumbs up. I think it's pretty good. My theory is with diet soda that the longer the name, the better. For example, Diet Mountain Dew Code Red > Diet Mountain Dew. This works for most diet sodas, except for Diet Coke where the addition of lemon makes it taste like Pledge.
