- cag_ii 9y agoFrom the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper#Marketing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper#Marketing): In the early 1960s, Dr Pepper promoted the idea of serving the drink hot with lemon slices in winter. This idea appeared in the film Blast from the Past initially set in the early 1960s.
- barrkel 9y agoMany dilution-based drinks are quite good made with hot water - don't knock it before you've tried it.
- gruez 9y agowhat are dilution drinks?
- schoen 9y agoMaybe drinks that are shipped as syrup and prepared by mixing carbonated water with the syrup?
- barrkel 9y agoNot normally made with carbonated water, no; the citrus flavours do work well with carbonation, but berries less so.
- barrkel 9y agoFruit concentrates usually, like lemon, blackcurrant, orange etc. squashes, but also cordials made from various herbs and spices, roots, etc. If you're in the UK, there's normally a two or three metre section of shelving dedicated to them in the supermarket.
- GuiA 9y agoI frequently see tech workers in SF drinking soda in the morning (ie before 10am) and it completely blows my mind as a French person. I had a coworker who would drink a coke upon arriving at his desk every day. I mean, I enjoy being unhealthy too, but I usually save it for later in the day.
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoFirst you might want to get your countrymen to ease up on the smoking all day thing they are wont to do.
- GuiA 9y agoI’m all for that, but sadly I do not have the powers you seem to think I have.
- toast0 9y agoAmericans often put as much sugar in coffee as they do in soda. If I'm going to drink a sugary beverage in the morning, it may as well be something I like.
- bleachnu 9y agoI don’t put 43 grams of sugar in my coffee and I don’t know anybody who has. Most people I know take their coffee without any sugar at all. But then again I haven’t met everybody in the us, so I digress.
- dpark 9y ago(Essentially) No one dumps 40 grams of granulated sugar into their brewed coffee. But Starbucks and other coffee shops sell a lot of "coffee" drinks with sugar contents in that range. A grande mocha has 35 grams of sugar. https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/espresso/caffe-mocha#size=47&milk=67&whip=125 https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/espresso/caffe-mocha#s...
