Good ol' Moxie!
No soda should feature the word "piquant" on its label.
This is what I believe caused "Circle A Ginger Ale" to fail.
Laugh at the name all you want, this is the best tasting root beer I've
ever had.
Why, with this ol' truck they could have Dr. Pepper
delivered right to your house in under 40 days!
Perfection? If you ask me, Big Red takes more like bubblegum-flavored cough
syrup.
An old Dr. Pepper soda pop cooler.
The Dr. Pepper museum takes some stabs at all of the soda's imitators.
Pepé soda! A great imitation name, yes, but still, I gotta go with...
DR. NUT!
Though the "Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?" slogan is more
famous, their "Drink
a bite to eat at 10, 2 & 4!" slogan needed some explaining. A study
on human fatigue
found that blood sugar levels are at their lowest at 10:30, 2:30 and
4:30... so the company figured what better way to revive yourself than
with a Dr. Pepper?
If people need to actually read up on the results of a medical study
just
to get your slogan, you should probably go with something else.
I miss the 7-Up Spot character.
This R2-D2 was once filled with ice and used to store bottles of Dr.
Pepper!
Barry Manilow wrote and performed "Be a Pepper!"
You'd think he'd list that as one of his greatest career achievements.
Drink some Hot Dr. Pepper and become whiter than you thought possible!
Wait, how exactly does it like you?
Yeah man! Frosty!
That's right, there's no drugs in Dr. Pepper! Whew!
The #1 reason to visit the Dr. Pepper museum - this classic soda
fountain.
It pains me that I may never taste something as good as their "Pepper
Shaker" again.
After we left the Dr. Pepper museum we stumbled upon this place off the
highway.
It looked like one hell of a haunted house attraction, but the bastards
were closed.
Damn!
KNIGHT RIDER???
If you ever wanna feel completely isolated from the world, just go
driving late at night
in the middle of nowhere when all you can see is the road 50 feet ahead
of you.
