Yeeuch....cannot get the taste out of my mouth Sad

I normally buy sparkling water or ribena with my lunch, but I thought about buying something different for a change

YABU, it's lovely! Right up there with root beer for me, but I bet you don't like that either!

RabbitPies · 10/04/2014 16:21

I hate liquorice and aniseed,which is what it tastes like to me,but it's not that bad IMHO. I could drink some of it.

It's not nearly as disgusting as root beer though. Now that is one of the worst drinks ever created.

Cream soda is lovely! Ginger beer is even better though.

Redpriestandmozart · 10/04/2014 16:35

Oh I love D&B and I do love root beer too bu wouldn't thank you for cola :)

Redpriestandmozart · 10/04/2014 16:36

Oh and I think that cream soda smells and tastes of minced steak - YUCK maybe my taste buds are fucked up!

Allinson2014 · 10/04/2014 16:39

Yum dandelion and burdock. Going to send DH out to get me some later and pretend it's a craving. Thanks for reminding me about it.

RabbitPies · 10/04/2014 16:40

I think they are,Red. It tastes like vanilla,certainly not minced steak.

AlpacaYourThings · 10/04/2014 16:41

YADBU! Shock

D&B is lovely!

YABVVVVVU

Delicious memories of childhood

BethCalavicci · 10/04/2014 16:43

It's a bit like liquid aniseed yum yum yum with fish and chips yum yum.

Dandelion and burdock is nothing like aniseed! (I hate aniseed but love dandelion and burdock.)
Dandelion and burdock evokes great childhood memories and takes me right back to childhood. Smile
Memories of the 'pop man' bringing glass bottles of it along with the milk!

Ooh it's gorgeous. Second to ice cream lemonade.

Childhood picnics on the beach in Teignmouth.

worldgonecrazy · 10/04/2014 16:48

Was it real Dandelion and Burdock (i.e. Fentimans) or was it the stuff with artifical flavour? The real stuff is lovely, the fake stuff is yuk.

Dandelion & Burdock is such an interesting name. I don't know what I was expecting but not Wrigley's Juicy Fruit in liquid form.

TinyPawz · 10/04/2014 16:56

OP what are number 1 and 2 on the list of worst things ever tasted?

I love D&B

Mim78 · 10/04/2014 16:57

No I love it! It's the same as vimto, nearly.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 10/04/2014 16:58

It's absolutely disgusting. As are Vimto, Dr Pepper and Irn Bru.

NoodleOodle · 10/04/2014 16:58

I love the stuff.

I've never had root beer, Tizer, Vimto or Dr Pepper. My mouth is practically a virgin.

tznett · 10/04/2014 17:02

I like it!

YABU, (well not really, it's your opinion, but hey...), I absolutely adore this stuff and would drink it every day of the week! How funny Smile

lionheart · 10/04/2014 17:04

Love it. Makes me feel like a hedge-witch.

MaxPepsi · 10/04/2014 17:08

D& B is lush, especially the fentimans version like world says, but I'll drink any.

I also love Dr Pepper. Recently tried going back to my childhood and bought some cream soda - arrghh! Absolutely rank!

for those of you who like dr pepper, try equal measures of amaretto; stella and coke for a delicious alcoholic version

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 10/04/2014 17:16

Cream soda is even worse, I'd forgotten that. I'm also not keen on Fentimans lemonade, but will drink it.
