Tastes good. I am a bigger fan of Dublin DP than the reg I get where I live. I switched to DP 10.
Have the complaining women watch for all the commercials where men are equated with incompetent or child like. Will well out-number this one commercial.[/quote]
Dublin DP is fantastic.[/quote]
DP 10 is closer in that the amount of sweetness is less and the taste is more mellow. I keep finding myself opening one and wondering when I finished it. It is smooth. It probably has to do with the reduced amount of sweetener, less HFCS. Sugar, like in Dublin DP, has a lower sweetness spike (for lack of a better term).
Any aftertaste is minimal.
I do not think people always recognize that the local water affects the taste of soft drinks. While at A&M I would buy my DP from one convenience store because they got their DP from a bottling plant in Santa Fe (have no idea why) but it tasted better than the locally bottled stuff.

Yep, beer too.

I thought it was interesting that it was the single, younger women that got their noses out of joint over the commercial.
The older ladies were pretty much, “If he likes it I’ll buy it, I don’t really care.”
But I want to try it now!
marketing media apparently works on me[/quote]
I always wonder just who it is that has time to get offended over inoccuous things. It’s like when you hear in the news about people getting bent out of shape over a Christmas nativity display. I wouldn’t care if they put up a satanic alter in front of the local library. Doesn’t matter if I agree with it or not. Overly sensitive people need to toughen up about these kinds of things, or at least be embarrassed enough to keep quiet if it bothers them that much.

I think I get what you are saying but I disagree in that there is plenty of things within US culture that needed to be changed and did so based on movements that started with “this ain’t right”. Pretty sure there is more as.well.
What bothers me is when people are hypocritical in their pronouncements. Bitching about the DP commercial but finding commercials that are exclusionary or condensending (sp?) to men perfectly fine.
As it would be in your example if a group wanted a particular belief represented but is intolerant to other beliefs being represented as well.

Yes. Hypocrisy is even more annoying than overly thin-skinned people, IMO.

I think that Diet Dr. Pepper tastes very close to regular. So I’m guessing this one should taste 10% better than that.
And tell the women you work with that arguing about a commercial like that is no way to get a husband.[/quote]
hahaha!! well most of them are married so maybe I should tell them arguing about that commercial is not the way to keep a husband. They should learn to like Rambo movies and how to make a good sandwich.

Not trying to be rude, but making a solid blojay would probably go a long way too…

This commercial has actually caused some squabbles at work. I think it’s funny. I want to buy it and try it and I don’t drink soda.
Has anyone tried this yet?[/quote]
Unfortunately, this is how women are today. God forbid, men actually have something for themselves. We used to be able to call gyms, “our place” not anymore. Women have invaded that. They think they should be entitled to everything and anything men are. Theres nothing wrong with a woman being independent and wanting everything in life but somethings, are not meant for you. Sometimes, i wonder why i wasn’t born centuries earlier, the way i was supposed to. maybe it was some cruel joke to place me in a time where women are nothing but, big mouthed, big attitudes and ever increasing big bodied. Whatever happened to women that have class and women knowing when to keep their mouths shut. Yes, i realize I’m rambling here. But this just goes to show how women are today. How can anyone blame me for wanting a woman of a different time. Can men honestly tell me they like women’s attitudes nowadays.
