[Dr. Sivana]

Before I drank Dr. Pepper, I’d drink ‘Double Cola’, a regional brand in The South.

I had heard of Double Cola, and tried it when living in Columbus, Georgia. Nothing special. Nor was Cheerwine.

I did stand on the spot where RC Cola was invented in Columbus. Oddly, it is not a big player there. Some maintain the original Coca-Cola X9 formula was first created in Columbus, Georgia.

Pepsi tried to promote itself as a southern drink in Gerogia (first created in North Carolina). It didn't work.

So, Dr. Pepper in Texas, Hires in Philadelphia, Moxie in Maine, Coca-Cola in Georgia, Pepsi-Cola in North Carolina, RC Cola in Georgia.The big winners are all from the south.

I forgot Schweppes Ginger Ale from U.K., he grand daddy of them all.

There is no period after Dr in Dr Pepper.
