If they truly want to honor my life after I have passed, they shall drink Dr. Pepper from my skull!
I try not to judge people who like Dr. Pepper; it's not like it's your fault your preferences came out like that.
Ok I don't actually judge anyone for that, I just personally dislike it so viscerally that the smell is a bit nauseating, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those things where N% of people have some gene that makes some Dr. Pepper ingredient taste different, like with the bitter super taster gene or the cilantro soap gene (both of which I have π )
Honestly, I just chose Dr. Pepper for something anticlimactic. I do like Dr. Pepper, but it's not my favorite beverage or anything. Still could be a genetic thing, though. My dad hates Pepsi because to him it just tastes like soap
If I'm gonna hate a soda, it's gonna be Mountain Dew. That shit tastes and looks like it was harvested from the fertile grounds of Chernobyl
Heh, we can do a Classic Humanβ’ and unite in hate: I really don't like Mt Dew either. I think the US version is like even more toxic-looking (and possibly literally toxic for that matter) than what they sell over here in Urop, or at least I remember it looking exactly like you described.
I didn't know the versions would be so different, but it makes sense. There's no way they'd get away with selling Mt. Dew in Europe without getting rid of at least some of the alien blood and nuclear waste. I swear, if you put it next to a geiger counter, it makes a droning sound
