\"Jack<\/p>\n

Several fast food chains have offered Dr Pepper shakes, but I had yet to try one.<\/p>\n

Whataburger, whose locations are thousands of miles away from me, is one chain that comes to mind because every time its Dr Pepper Shake returns, I\u2019m reminded of it via many Facebook and Instagram ads. The regional chain also sold a Dr Pepper Blackberry Shake last year. Another chain that comes to mind is Burger King, which has a location three miles from me. It had a limited time Dr Pepper shake<\/a>, but I missed it.<\/p>\n

So I wouldn\u2019t feel FOMO, I instantly took the opportunity to try Jack in the Box\u2019s Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream Shake, blended with Dr Pepper and strawberry flavors, then topped with whipped cream. While Jack in the Box isn\u2019t the first to offer a shake flavored like the iconic soda, it is the first fast food chain to sell one flavored like Dr Pepper\u2019s Strawberries & Cream soda<\/a>, a permanent Dr Pepper variety.<\/p>\n

With this being Jack in the Box, which loves to add Oreo crumbs to limited-time shakes, I\u2019m surprised chocolate cookie crumbs didn\u2019t find their way in here, too. I kid, but also not really, because Oreo crumbs really do find their way into a lot of Jack\u2019s new shakes.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

The menu item has a tan-pink color that my phone’s camera couldn’t quite capture, but it looks more appropriate at Sephora than in a sippable dessert. But I guess that\u2019s what happens when you Bob Ross red strawberry syrup, brown Dr Pepper syrup, and white vanilla ice cream together.<\/p>\n

As for its flavor, it initially tasted more like a telehealth appointment through my phone with Dr Pepper than a face-to-face office visit. The strawberry was stronger than the Dr Pepper most of the time. The difference was big enough that I could probably convince you it\u2019s just a regular strawberry shake, if I could hide its Ulta Beauty foundation-like color. A light cream flavor was present, but I\u2019m not sure whether it came from the whipped cream or the vanilla base.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/p>\n

But after mixing everything a bit more thoroughly, the Dr Pepper stood out a bit more, and the two main flavors had a better balance. The Dr Pepper syrup added a noticeable cherry note along with hints of the soda\u2019s famous 23 flavors. I really began to enjoy it once that balance came together.<\/p>\n

Jack in the Box\u2019s Dr Pepper Strawberry & Cream Shake is a delightful, delicious treat. When mixed well, it gets across its Dr Pepper and strawberry flavors. It\u2019s worth traveling a few miles to try it.<\/p>\n
