DALLAS – Poking through antiques stores while traveling through the Texas Panhandle, Bill Waters stumbled across a tattered old ledger book filled with formulas.
He bought it for $200, suspecting he could resell it for five times that. Turns out, his inkling about the book's value was more spot on than he knew.

Yucky.
I don’t get the draw of Dr. Pepper. It always tastes like a stale cherry Coke to me.
Give me Cheerwine any day.

How cool! I love me some Dr. Pepper.

Tastes like carbonated prune juice to me. Hard to pack a cooler full of laxatives for a day out fishing.

Do we really want to know the original formula? What if it turns out to be something like this:
—Per One Gallon—
4 cups sugar
15 cups waters
1/2 cup prune juice
3/10 ounce black shoe polish
2 ounces dog saliva
