So Tay Zonday, the “Chocolate Rain” guy, made a video (commercial) for Dr. Pepper’s new Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper.  I finally got a chance to try the stuff today and I think it tastes more like a Tootsie Roll than Chocolate Cherry.  I’m not sure that I would buy it again but I’ll have to see if it grows on me like Red Bull did (after I drink the other 11 cans).  But the only reason that I got it was because Tay made the video for it and I wanted to support one of these new media stars.  I’m happy to see when a YouTube personality actually makes money off their work when usually get nothing…
