I'm a pepper, you're a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too!

I like Dr. Pepper, I remember my mother heating it up and then adding lemon around Christmas when I was a kid, wow that had to be close to 50 years ago.

Jeez man, since 1994! It's either a work of art or more likely a piece of crap.

We drink a lot of Dr. Pepper and the only time I have gotten a bad Dr. Pepper drink was at a fountain and that was when the syrup cannister was running out.

I remember my first one. It used to be a regional brand -- I remember people telling me you could get it in Texas -- but it was not national. It finally came to the northeast and I tried it. That's when they still used sugar (now they use corn syrup). I thought it was awesome and we couldn't get enough. When the diet sodas switched to aspartame, it was (and still is, I think) the only diet soda that really tastes close to the regular one. Probably because it has so many different flavors in it. They are a mystery but I know that if I close my eyes and pretend it's cherry Coke I can't really tell.

It changed hands a few times and went through lots of mergers. Right now it's actually bottled by all different manufacturers: Coke, Pepsi, 7-Up, Cadbury-Schweppes, etc. Where I used to live it was distributed by Coke but here it's 7-Up.

I forgot all about it, and from the previous post I am glad I did. To much trouble for a single pop.

lucky me, I get up for work at 1 am, so I got mine right away with no delays.
