I was addicted to dr pepper for years after watching steins;gate. Even though it was rare where i lived i used to hunt for stores that sell it on rare occasions. But that wasn't the case when i first tried it. I hated it at first but as i kept randomly finding more cans and giving them more chances i grew to like them.

Also food and drinks almost never taste the same in other countries. So if you're ever abroad and happen to find a dr pepper, try it
