Thisrepresents something new for Soda Tasting: our first blind tasting. \r<br>\r<br>What is a blind tasting? Well, basically, I set myself up to look foolish. I select an assortment of similar sodas, have someone pour them for me and, without knowing which is which and without tasting them immediately beforehand, I taste them and try to guess which is which. Inevitably, I miss the mark.\r<br>\r<br>For this , I am tasting a selection of peppers. The pepper soda genre, pioneered by Dr Pepper, is full of competitors and store brands. There is even a blog, Not Quite What the Doctor Ordered (), that has chronicled many of them. Here is todays lineup:\r<br>\r<br>Dr Pepper (Dr Pepper Snapple Group)\r<br>Pibb Xtra (The Coca-Cola Company)\r<br>Dr Thunder (Wal-Mart Stores)\r<br>Dr. Perky (Food Lion)\r<br>\r<br>Disclosure: I am a Wal-Mart shareholder.\r<br>\r<br>Would you like to see more blind tastings like this in the future? Please let me know in the comments.\r<br>\r<br>If you enjoyed the show, please subscribe to Soda Tasting on YouTube and elsewhere:\r<br>\r<br>Email: \r<br>Facebook: \r<br>Twitter: \r<br>Google+: \r<br>RSS: \r<br>\r<br>Thank you for watching.
