Mr Pibb could not be reached for comment.

At least Coke tried to imitate the brand.

Pepsi didn’t even do that much...................

[Tell It Right]

Later today at lunch I’ll “shoot a Waco” for tribute to Dr. Pepper’s 2nd place ranking.

For those traveling through Waco, a stop at the Dr. Pepper museum is really worth the visit, IMHO.

In my college days I almost exclusively drank Coke. I preferred Pepsi, but it wasn’t available in the vending machines. There was clearly a difference between them. I like them both today, I just wish that Pepsi had a caffeine free version.

I really like Dr. Pepper, too. Dr. Pepper is the only one in which I can’t tell the difference between regular and diet.

Yes, I've noticed that as well. Perhaps that is one of the main reasons Dr. Pepper is so popular now. It has been MY favorite drink for well over 50 years...................

I’m a coconut freak. Dr. Pepper just came out with an outstanding coconut version.

Coke has fewer calories per fluid ounce. Dr Pepper is loaded with calories. Pepsi is in 2nd place with calorie content. I just wish the colas would lower the calorie content by 10% and not add artificial sweeteners. Course I am not a child anymore and as a grumpy old person I need a calorie reduction.

I had some Dr Pepper as a kid, didn't really care for it, and I don't think I've had any since. Maybe I should try it as an adult.

The cola of my house is RC. Obviously, it is rare to find it at a business on a fountain. (T-Mobile Arena in Kansas City sells it tho!) But my grocery store carries it in 12 packs, and that is the cola you will find in my fridge. I much prefer it over Coke and Pepsi.

I notice my 14 yr old son and his buddies drink Dr Pepper mor often than we did way back when.

[Red Badger]

It has a flavor that is quite different than any cola products. Perhaps they have a more discerning taste than previous generations...................

The calories all come from HFCS that all the industry switched to in the late 60’s, instead of cane sugar.

When I use the drink dispenser at a restaurant, I often get a mixture of diet and regular.

No Coke, Pepsi

I was serving hot dogs and cheese burgers at a community fishing derby on Sunday. Everyone wanted a cheeseburger.
When I said the above(from a skit of the first season of Saturday Night Live) only one other guy over the age of 60 got the joke.

All I wanted was a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi!
