Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb

My boss and I were discussing these sodas the other day. I am not much of a soda drinker but last week we were in St. Louis and he was going into the gas station and asked if I wanted anything. He. came back with a Dr. Pepper. I pointed out his error and he told me, "does it matter, they both taste the same."

I don't believe they do. Thoughts?


I have not seen a Mr Pibb since 1985.. but i do remember liking them... That said, anyone who says ‘They’re all the same‘ - when bringing you back a drink other than what you specifically requested - deserves to be punched in the mouth, boss or not.
