This is actually really, really good. I LOVE regular Dr. Pepper, but had to give it up because of all the sugar and calories in it. I've been drinking Diet Dr. Pepper for a while now, but it's just not the same, no matter how much they tell you, "It's just like regular Dr. Pepper." It's not even close. But it's okay for a diet soda.
Yeah, Diet Dr. Pepper isn't exactly the same. It's close and drinkable, but no blind taste test will have it pass.
My Dr. Pepper palate is pretty refined. I am one of the few who actually noticed a difference in taste when they changed their logo back in late 1996. They changed their ingredients at the same time too (they dropped three ingredients: lactic acid, polyethelene glycol, and.... uh I forget). It was pretty close, but it wasn't fooling me or a select other few.
I, and another friend of mine, were invited to try a blind taste test with the new and the old at a New Year's party that year. He and I nailed the new and the old every time. For me, it was easy. One of them reminds of me playing Zelda 2 (played that game and had my first Dr. Pepper on the same day). The other reminds me of working for AOL.
I don't drink much Dr. Pepper anymore because of the latter.
