that was very interesting, but i don't think it was an accurate taste test. The taste test would need to be conducted by our very own Larry(formerly mills 400) and his panel of experts.

Yes, I have conducted a Dr. Pepper West Jefferson N.C. vs. Dublin Tx. vs. ordinary DP and the winner was 3 for WJ, 1 for Dublin, and 0 for typical DP.  The two cane sugar pops, WJ and Dublin, won.

My second test was Mexican Coke vs. Hebrew Coke vs reg. Coke and the winner was Mexican Coke.  Unanimously.  I wonder if the people who were tested grew up before the eighties.  My theory is that if you grew up on cane sugar, that's what you tend to like.  If you grew up on corn syrup, that's what you are use to.

   Agree, let make it a little bit more fair let put glass Mex up againest the glass bottle U.S.  I think that would be a fair test .
 And Yes Larry is our man to do this and what better place than Chicago the Thursday night right before dinner ( Just a thought  :smile: )

I say the sample glasses must be glass glasses!
Here is an idea -  everybody toast one another with a round or two of Tequila purchased from the bar, then do the taste test with your shot glasses.  :happydrinkers:  :tounge:

I think that the results of people choosing American Coke is partly thats what they are used to.  I drink the Imperial Dr. Pepper's and can't drink a regular Dr. Pepper and have friends that pay me money to bring them a 6 pack of the goodness.  On the other side I have let people try them and think that they are gross.  Different strokes or sugars for different folks.
