Dr Pepper ramblings

I never was a big "coke" drinker. Water is still my beverage of choice. But my husband loves all kinds of "coke". And he wants the real sweet stuff like Big Red, Cream Soda, Dr. Pepper and Barq's Root Beer. (He says A&W is nasty). So, I started drinking whatever he came home with. I'd treat a Dr. Pepper like dessert. I'd sit down with a cup of ice and my Dr. Pepper. Ready to set my throat on fire! While pregnant Dr Pepper tasted even better. It was great while it lasted. Then I decided I needed to lose the baby weight and drinking my calories was not an option.

Then Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper came into my life.

I was a huge sceptic of Diet drinks. They tasted so gross to me. But my mom was like "Diet Dr. Pepper is Goo-ooood!" So, I trained myself to like it. But now I crave them and find myself drinking 2 Diet Cherry Dp's a day. When I used to only drink one can of the real stuff. The word "diet" makes me feel like I can drink to my heart's desire. I guess one or two cans of DDP never hurt anyone! Right?

Dr. Pepper 'Zero' and Diet Cherry Coke are two of the only diet drinks I can stomach, so I really hope they bring this one out in the UK! I'm thirsty now!

ah! Actually drinking one normal soft drink would be a billion times better for you then drinking 2 diet drinks.. diet drinks are terrible for you, their waaay worse then normal soft drinks. :(

Actually,
I would say that two Dr Pepper will not kill you for sure but, trust me, if you stop drinkin it you'll appreciate the difference it makes. I was a big fan of coke and Dr. (two or three a day) and I lost 10 kg in four month since I quitted......it makes a big big difference.
