Soda Rant
No one sells Dr. Pepper. Not restaurants, not gas stations. You can’t even get it in the checkout line at the grocery store where they have individual cans of everything from Ginger Ale to Cherry Pepsi. They still make Cherry Pepsi? Who drinks that anymore? The fridge full of Pepsi products is missing the best one, the only one worth drinking: Dr. Pepper.
With the exception of Texas, of course. In Texas you find Dr. Pepper as readily as crack cocaine in Compton, because it’s made there. You can even get these little glass bottles that they call Dublin Dr. Pepper (see, Dr. P was invented in Dublin, TX): the original recipe. They make it with cane sugar. But you can only get those in Texas. And in the rest of the world? Forget about it. I buy Arizona Iced Tea instead, because, apparently, only Texans have good taste in soda.
And yes, I said soda. Not pop, or coke, or cola. It’s soda. Deal with it.
