Does anyone else taste blueberry in Dr. Pepper?!

Answers:
I taste tofu flavored chicken in it!. When I drink Diet Dr!. Pepper, I taste chicken flavored tofu!. There seems to be a hint of cranberry and orange juice as well!. Sometimes I think I taste coke in it, but not the drink!. Maybe some spilled in it or something!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I bought a Dr!. Pepper from the vending machine at work today and noticed that the retro-styled can (pictured to the left, courtesy Wikipedia) has a seal claiming an “authentic blend of 23 flavors!.” Indeed, go to DrPepper!.com, find the FAQ section, and you’ll be informed that “Dr!. Pepper is a unique blend of 23 flavors!. The formula for Dr!. Pepper is proprietary information!.” (Dr!. Pepper also has a web-based promotion called “Get23″ centered around the 23 secret flavors!. The promotion has to do with finding “flavor icons,” but it won’t reveal what the flavors are!. Because they area€”you knowa€”secret!.) Apparently, this claim has been a part of Dr!. Pepper lore for a long timea€”something like the Colonel’s Eleven Herbs and Spices, but I was ignorant of it!.
So what are the 23 flavors!? I’m guessing one is not “cherry-flavored cough syrup,” though “cherry” seems a safe bet!. (Vanilla, or some version of vanilla, seems a given, too!.) According to Snopes, the company has repeatedly denied the persistant rumor that prune juice is one of the component flavors!. Any guesses!?
UPDATE: According to AdAge,? Cadbury Schwepps (the owner of the Dr!. Pepper brand) spent $5 million on a “mash-up” marketing campaign based on the 23 flavors concept before killing the ads earlier this year!.? Click through the link to see the commercials that never aired!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
