danny k has it right:
grenadine, the most common "cherry" syrup flavorer, is made from pomegranate juice and so has a sweet and fruity, but distinctly not cherry, flavor.
pomegranates are the greatest things in the world, btw.
and cherry coke does NOT taste like dr. pepper.

I taste cherry in it. However, it is not made with real cherries...It's made with Cherry Juice Concentrate. The taste of the real cherries wouldn't be strong enough.

Probably because there aren't real cherries anywhere in it. Why doesn't grape juice taste like grapes? It just tastes like purple sugar to me.

Because they get the cherry flavor from grenadine which comes from a pomegranate.

it doesn't taste like Dr. Pepper..i hate it when people say that, or at a restaurant when they bring cherry cola instead of Dr. Pepper.

because of all the chemicals they put in it, just to make it taste soooooo good, and so that people can get addicted to it and by it all the time!!

most fruit drinks seldom taste like the fruit they claim it to be,as the taste is presumed by flavourings,unless they contain real fruit like my fave mango smoothie drink. ;-)
