Since the stylised bb in Pibb on the cans looked like a German Sz (ß) at one point during the eighties, so that's how it would it have been pronounced.

Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Cherry 7up. Diet Coke is horrible. One of my major pet peeves is restaurants offering 6 different kinds of regular soda, and Diet Coke.

Can still find it in limited manner at kiosks in Wendy's and some soft drink soda fountains, but no longer canned or bottled.

The Diet Dr. Pepper is awesome, I easily find that my favorite calorie-free drink along with Pepsi Zero-Sugar

Today’s kids don’t know what they missed, although we could run free in ways most kids can’t nowadays. Guess there are trade offs.

Many nights wasted during misspent youth. That and southern comfort and ginger ale.

Has a sweet tooth as a young drinker.

It makes pukey stuff run from my dick.
And if you look around you'll see today,
It affects everybody the same way.

I have got it, You have got it,
He has got it, She has got it.
Everybody now has got it.

Be a pepper, get gonorrhea,
Be a pepper, get gonorrhea.

I am seriously allergic to something in it. I was violently ill, had anaphylactic shock, my lips were huge and I broke out in hives. Horrible and scary experience, ruined my dad's plan for nice family day trip, ending up in the Emergency Room.

The Michael Douglas character in the Kominsky Method drank diet Dr Pepper and Jack Daniels, much to the consternation of the Alan Arkin character.

Haven't drunk anything on the 'soda' front except the occasional tonic water with gin, or whisky and dry ginger ale, in years.

DP was the only soda drink that was "as remembered" when sense of taste started to return.
