Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate: Can it Please Chocolate Lovers?

Call me a sucker but when I saw the commercial for Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate, I just had to try it out. I love cherry soda and I love chocolate, so the idea of having the combination of both was simply wonderful. Would
Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate live up to my expectations? Can this soda please chocolate lovers or will it be nothing more than a disappointment? Here, I'll tell you what I think.

Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate Soda Has a Unique Flavor

One of the things that cannot be denied about Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate soda is that it has a very unique taste. I cannot even begin to think of what the unique flavor can be compared to. It is really out of this world - literally, nothing else tastes remotely similar. The unique flavor of Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate may be enough of a reason to try this soda. However, I am not sure if the uniqueness that Dr. Pepper's Cherry Chocolate delivers is necessarily a good thing.

The Chocolate Flavor Seems to Overpower the Cherry Flavor

The first thing that I noticed about Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate is that the chocolate flavor really seems to overpower the cherry flavor. Although this may sound like a good quality, it was simply not what I was expecting. I expected the soda to taste mainly like cherry, with a hint of chocolate... but the first time that I tasted it, I quickly learned that it was the opposite.

Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate Only Tastes Good Cold

There's no doubt that any type of soda tastes best when it's cold. However, many sodas can easily be enjoyed even when they are warm. I tried Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate twice, once when it was warm and after it had been refrigerated. My advice to you is don't bother tasting Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate before it's cold. It's pretty disgusting.

You Probably Won't Enjoy it Unless You Prefer Diet Soda

This soda makes the most amazing ice cream floats when combined with chocolate chip, black raspberry swirl w/chocolate chip or vanilla ice cream.

Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate is the top of the line. It is the best soda I have ever had. I love chocolate and I love cherry and they are both there. For goodness sake, keep making it. It will go off the charts!

This tastes great as a dessert drink. Add VODKA to it, Yum! I wouldn't want to drink it as an accompaniment to a meal because of the strong flavors. Otherwise I really really like it. I hope they make it available a few times a year, like Valentine's Day and Xmas.

It personally tasted like a liquid tootsie roll pop to me and some might think that would taste good but, ewww. I'm a chocaholic and like Diet DP but I can't handle this drink. Good review. Thanks.

I'm really surprised you tasted so much chocolate. It smells chocolaty to me but the taste was definitely extremely cherry.

Great review. I felt the same way about the Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla that came out a few years ago. I desperately wanted to love it - but it just tasted a bit weird.
