I looove hot Dr. Pepper…it's the only way I drink it, actually. Someone turned my mom and I onto it years ago as a remedy for a sore throat…now, it's my winter staple. Actually have a mug right now in my dorm room (sidenote: using a microwave can give a similar effect as a saucepan, but not quite as tasty). Enjoy your "Hot Doc"!

i once left an open can of dp in the door panel of a black car in the hot tennessee summer sun. When i returned a couple hours later, i was surprised to find a syrupy, yet delicious drink! Fast fwd 5yrs and my freshman class homeroom in high school had a an old large dr. Pepper wall thermometer with an icy dp on one end and a white mug of steaming dp topped with a lemon wedge. ….mmmmmmm

When I was small (in the 60's) they always had hot Dr. Pepper at the high school football games. We bought it every Friday night in Denton, TX. I loved it!

I hadn't heard of hot Dr. Pepper until my wife and I visited Dublin, TX a couple of years ago and it was available there. Since it was late December, I found it very appropriate and tasty too.

Ive been drinking it since the 60s.
Its great !
There uses to be a TV commercial with a bunch of fir trappers up north in Canada and they all thought "Jacque" had one winter too many because he was going to do this to keep warm.

I grew up drinking hot Dr Pepper with lemon, and it is truly delicious! Now that I can make it with Dr Pepper Heritage with real sugar, it's even better. Try it, you'll be hooked.

one time i left my dr. pepper in the car in summer and it got really hot, and i drank it just to gross out my mom, but it was actually very good.
i tried to convince people of it and no one believed me, and now i've found this article which supports my discovery!

I never even *heard* of hot Dr. Pepper until someone (Dr. Pepper) tweeted about this on Twitter. Wow! Love the old commercial!

I agree with RyanLN about hot Dr. Pepper tasting like tea-less Celestial Seasonings, of which I am a fan. Yum! It is good mixed with hot prune juice too.

My grandfather used to drink hot Dr. Pepper all the time, so I've heard.
