However, a quick taste comparison between Dr Pepper and either Wild Cherry Pepsi or Cherry Coke should convince you that Dr Pepper contains flavor components not found in standard cherry colas. I called them a loooooong time ago, and the way it was described to me phone was that Dr. Pepper is somewhere between a black cherry and a cream soda.
But Dr. Pepper is not a coca-cola or Pepsi product. Coke once tried to buy it when Dr pepper was declared bankruptcy, but antitrust issues prevented it. Coke does own some of the distribution of Dr. Pepper in some states of the world, such as Europe.
Cherry Coke is just overly-sweet cola with an artificial cherry flavor. Dr. Pepper tastes like Cherry Coke to me (and that’s a good thing). And R2, if Jennifer Flowers chooses to spell her name with a G instead of a J, does that mean we have to spell it that way too?
What are the pros and cons of Dr. Pepper versus Coke versus Pepsi? Dr Pepper has a subtle, more refined taste than the others. With a hint of cherry, the flavor blends with caramel overtones as it is a cola after all. With Coke, its an in your face blast of caustic fizz of cola, flashing your tongue and mouth with a burn as it goes down.
What is Dr Pepper’s flavor?
What it pretty much comes down to is the flavor components. Coke is a cola with a very distinct cola flavor. Dr. Pepper is comprised of 23 different flavor components including cola, cherry, licorice, apricot, juniper, lemon, nutmeg, clove, and a bunch more.
From what I understand, Dr. Pepper has a blend of 23 fruit flavors. Cherry, Cherry Vanila, and their other flavors, on the other hand, have stronger cherry, cherry and vanila flavors, or whatever the flavors in question, than the standard Dr. Pepper product.
It has been preserved in an iron safe hidden in the back office of the Dr Pepper headquarters in Plano Texas. Only three people know the 23 flavors and they are forbidden to ever fly in the same. Continue Reading.

But they won’ t release the formula and people that worked there in olden times say they had vats of prune juice and pepper simmering together all the time. Oddly enough, Dr.Pepper is enjoyed warm by several people (weirdos )that probably add a good shot of liquor to it also .
It most likely contains some of the same roots and spices as a traditional root beer, but there are fruit flavors in there as well. So it falls outside of the root beer category as well. Dr.Pepper describes itself as a “pepper soda”. Dr. Pepper has a very unique flavor.
Its true composition is a secret, but Dr. Pepper insists that it does not contain prune juice, a long held myth. It also does not contain extracts of the cola nut, which makes it not a cola. It most likely contains some of the same roots and spices as a traditional root beer, but there are fruit flavors in there as well.
