Thanks for the comment and the kind words on the show.

I think it is fair to say that our tastes and preferences change over time – period. When I was younger, there was a period of time where I didn’t like ketchup. Even with fries. Later, I liked it again. Tastes change, no matter what. Drinks I like today, I may not like 5 years from now.

Long term tests could be interesting, but they wouldn’t necessarily change anything. And, really, we have to keep in mind the limitations of the show and the limitations of both my time and my wallet. Right now, this show is losing me money, just hosting it as I do now. Forget buying sodas long term and charting progress. :) If someone wants to pay me a nice salary to do that, I’ll get right on it, though. Heh.

I don’t prefer sweet necessarily – if you have watched the show for a long period, you’ll know I’ve criticized the sweetness of some sodas. I take this seriously and I am guided only by taste. But, it is my taste and mine alone and I always caution people about that. :) I prefer the regular Dr Pepper over Dublin Dr pepper, but it’s awesome that your family prefers the opposite. It’s all a matter of taste.

Thanks,

Patrick

I suppose the real test is which of the sodas you’d prefer over time… here at my home, I can tell you that my family would always prefer the Dublin version of DP as its much more drinkable over time.

I wonder if you could do a long time test where you do the blind A/B test between HFCS vs Sugar and see which you like to drink while lounging, mixing, with food, etc… I bet the results would be interesting (either way).

Regardless, Thanks for the videos! Love them…
