Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper is my favorite of the sodas.

There are many clones of Dr. Pepper out there.  Usually easy to spot with names that have "Dr." or maybe a "Mr." in there.  They're not all alike, though, so for reference I'd like to rank them here.

• Dr. Thunder: The Wal-Mart/Sam's Club brand.  Formerly known as the evidently-not-Dr.-Pepper-sounding-enough Southern Lightning.  A very good replacement considering the cheaper price.
• Dr. K: Kroger's brand.  Slightly closer to Thunder than to Topper in quality.
• Dr. Topper: From Clover Valley; I see it in Dollar General stores.  You recognize what they were going for, but also that they didn't get close enough.
