Here at BevReview.com, we were sad to hear the news that Dom DeLuise passed away on May 5. He was a great pitchman for Dr Pepper in the 1981 movie, Cannonball Run. Watch the clip!

Cherry 7Up Antioxidant is not an improvement over its predecessor, Cherry 7Up. It shifted from a light, cherry-infused drink built on a lemon-lime base to a heavy, syrup-laden albatross that probably isn't going to help its market share. It needs a do-over!

Dr Pepper Cherry is impressive. While at first I mocked the idea since the Dr already had a bit of cherry flavor, this new flavor won me over. It lives up to the claims of being smooth, while not forgetting the unique flavor heritage of Dr Pepper. I hope this is a flavor extension that stands the test of time. Hopefully, the marketplace responds appropriately.

A new flavor of Dr Pepper is on the horizon, and surprise, it's cherry-flavored! As if Red Fusion, Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, and Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper weren't enough… introducing Dr Pepper Cherry!

Pepsi has implemented a stop-gap measure to shore up their orange-flavored misfortunes such as Tropicana Twister Soda Orange. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Pepsi Bottling Group has just signed a U.S. distribution deal for Dr Pepper Snapple Group's Crush.

Squirt Citrus Power is a enjoyable citrus soda/energy drink hybrid. The increase in caffeine, addition of taurine and B vitamins, and unique grapefruit taste make this a nice addition to the market. The familiarity of the brand and intentional courting of the casual beverage fan could be very positive for this flavor extension.

Take the flavor experience of a root beer float and bottle it. That's what A&W Float soda attempts to pull off. It's an interesting innovation idea… and one that comes close, but misses. While it does use sugar and skim milk, the resulting taste is so artificial that you shouldn't even bother. Great idea, horrible execution.
Posted in Cadbury Schweppes, Carbonated Soft Drinks, Crush, Reviews, Strawberry on Feb 6th, 2008 2 Comments »
If you like your soft drinks tasting like carbonated cough syrup, then Strawberry Crush is for you. Like most strawberry soft drinks, its flavor is extremely on the fake side. It tastes a lot like Fanta Strawberry, and that's not a good thing. You are hit with an overtly sweet, syrupy taste that is compounded by the use of high fructose corn syrup.

I find joy with caffeine-free products that offer a unique flavor beyond the traditional Sprite, Sierra Mist, and 7Up varieties. Such can be found with Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale. You are pleasantly greeted by a distinctive influx of cranberry. Not too sweet, great with or without food. It's a muted, dry flavor that is highly recommended.
