Not everybody likes the same things but, really...Do people in this
minority really hate Dr. Pepper THAT much? Dr. Pepper never did anything to them. I'd like to see them make a soft drink as successful as the Dr. but I doubt that it would ever happen. |

Of course all cold drinks, aka soda's, aka pop, are known as "cokes" in the souf'. As in: What kind of coke do you want, Dr. Pepper, root beer, whatever. When I was stationed on the US East Coast and drove back to Texas on leave the first place I could get Dr. Pepper was at Veteran's Cafe on Lookout Mountain outside Chattanooga. Would go in and drink a couple and buy a six-pack for the road. DP wasn't sold all over the USA back then. |

While Coca-Cola owns most of the non-US rights, Cadbury Schwepes owns the US rights. The gubmint blocked that merger. Speaking of Dr Pepper, the people in Texas and Louisiana seem to be nuts over it. I drank it when I was a kid, but we did not have soft drinks very often. I really preferred 7-Up. My children would have soft drinks if we went out on the weekend, but I did not keep soft drinks in the house. Caffeine is mighty powerful to give to children, not to mention the sugar. Becca |

That's a good thing, because you are not old enough. At least your posts sound like you're not nearly old enough for beer. When will you be 21? In about 8 years? BOB BOB |

I was thinking just the other day: What on earth did Dr Pepper do to the snarling rabble at rfc that got them set against it? But now it's clear that I was locked in unending combat with a logical fallacy. Thanks for setting me straight. > I'd like to see them make a soft drink as successful > as the Dr. but I doubt that it would ever happen. So would I.

No. Dr Pepper is part of the 7-Up/RC/A&W group that used to be owned by Schweppes. It was recently spun off or sold or something. The Coke version is Mr Pibb (I think it goes sans period as well).

Do you know that every time we sing "Happy Birthday to You" we should pay a fee to the copyright holder? In fact, each time we type out the brand or trade name of a product, we are expected to get unique spelling and punctuations exactly correct and could be made to embellish it with a patent or trademark symbol!
