Dr. Pepper Alternatives


After being inspired by some off-brand names for Dr. Pepper, such as Wal-Mart's Southern Lightning and Food Lion's Dr. Perky, I thought of a few of my own: Dr. Alright, Dr. Delirious, Dr. Whimsy, Dr. Hey Hey, Dr. Whatnot, Dr. Delicious, Dr. Happy...

Contributions to this pointless list are welcome!

Dr. Pepper doesn't exist in the place where I live. I don't know what it tastes like.

My (silliest) contribution for that would be: Dr. Poolitle.

Have a nice day.

Perhaps you should proffer a description of how it tastes for the uninitiated. I like Dr. Hey Hey. But how about:

Dr. Overthrow
Dr. Trippin'
Dr. Yeah
Dr. Sassy

I like Dr Happy. Jacking it up another level...add Bacardi's Rum.

Wal-Mart now uses the name Dr. Thunder..it's also available at Sam's Club! I got through college on that stuff!

It turns out that there's an entire webpage dedicated to fake Dr. Pepper:
Not Quite What The Doctor Ordered

Hilarious website! Thanks for sharing. When I was in high school I coveted Dr. Pepper but was subjected to Dr. Thunder instead (it's all my mom would buy). I have a grudging appreciation for it now :)

K--amen about the rum--I love that combo...AND even Jack, sometimes.

OK then, if Dr. Thunder is Wal-Mart's, then Southern Lightning comes from Kroger--I THINK. Can one of you southerners help me here?

As I understand it, Southern Lightning WAS the Wal-Mart name but they have now switched over to Dr. Thunder (at least that's what I bought in college). Perhaps it's different in different parts of the country?
