Fizzin' About. This is going to be interesting. It's quite different than domestic, actually. Being an avid fan of the Domestic Cherry Zero, Dr. Pepper Zero Cherry Crush is a different take on the flavor, it tastes more... Natural Cherry Flavored? I guess you could say? Doesn't really have much of a Dr. Pepper flavor, which was something that went well with the Domestic Cherry Zero, and both are not as good as my all-time forever favorite, Diet Cherry Vanilla. A can of that shit with a small old CRT TV hooked up to Boomerang, and some Pizza Rolls, you have me set. Would I Recommend? - If you want to see a different worldview on Dr. Pepper Zero Cherry, sure... otherwise, no... just buy the Domestic, it's easier to find, more plentiful and honestly... kinda better. Would I buy if it got a US Counterpart? - No, no not really. See you tomorrow.

Back to the Fizzy Grind. We're Steining our gates with this one. Can't believe it took this long to get some Pepper in the house, let alone one that some claim is the best version of Dr. Pepper, a version so good it was proclaimed to be the "Drink of Intellectuals" in the Japanese Manga and anime "Steins;Gate", while Dr. Pepper is finally picking up more speed domestically, so much so that they're feeling comfortable giving Pepsi and Coke the Heave Ho in terms of distribution in some spots, Dr. Pepper was, for a while, genuinely unpopular in Japan due to lack of marketing and knowledge of the brand, Coke did and still does dominate the space over there, and has the distribution rights for the brand in the entire country... I guess they didn't wanna risk their Ubiquity? But you know me, I can't say anything about something unless I try it... so how is it? Yeah, let's cut to the chase... Yes, it's damn good, and yes, It is better than Domestic. I can see why Coke doesn't want to promote this as much (the most they have done is a few tie-ins with, ironically enough Steins;Gate itself via special Vending Machines and Campaigns.) It has a much better, denser flavor than the Texas grown US Counterpart, it's smoother than the US Counterpart, and honestly, if it ever became the US Formula, I'd probably end up like that Texas lady who drinks 3 Dr. Peppers a day and broke 100 years old. and if Coke promoted Dr. Pepper more in Japan, I could see it completely overshadowing Coke's own Marketshare, Dr. Pepper has unintentionally created a product that in taste has overshadowed the original american counterpart, whatever they're putting in this shit is so much better. Would I Recommend? - See above, Yes I absolutely would. Would I buy if it got a US Counterpart? - Please, Keurig Dr. Pepper, I beg of you, give this a Domestic Release, go through the hurdles if you must but find a way, This is damn good stuff, and if it wouldn't break my bank, i'd be buying a lot of cans from World Market again in the future. See you tomorrow, but honestly... if this were a tier list... oh lord would it be the winner.
