What’s big and gray and comes in quarts?

I LOVE Pepsi “Throwback”.

It tastes like Pepsi used to taste like when I was a kid. The difference to me is like night and day.

If Pepsi drops Throwback, I’m gonna go through severe withdrawals.

Imperial Cane Sugar comes from Sugar Land, TX (or used to anyway). Obviously, that’s how the town got its’ name.

I have a killer sloppy joe recipe using Dr Pepper as an ingredient.

Well, you gonna share it or not?

I made some pulled pork a few weeks ago that I cooked in a crock pot with Dr. Pepper and barbecue sauce. It was darn good.

You can still get Dr. Pepper made with real sugar—all the time. It’s called “Dublin Dr. Pepper” and is bottled in Dublin, Texas.

I know when I got the sugared Pepsi and realized I could drink a whole can and not feel sick afterward. Just like when I was a kid. My children loved it!

I also tend to favor savory and peppery over sweet...

I'm not sure what you mean by "peppery", but if you like hot spicy snacks, give this place a try:

Southwest Specialty Food

The Spontaneous Combustion Ground Habanero is very versatile and adds some nice heat and flavor to just about anything. The Ass Kickin' Snack Mix on this page is very addictive, and the Ass Kickin' Peanuts on the same page are quite good too.

I modified this recipe from Emeril Lagasse to use chopped Ass Kickin' Peanuts instead of pecan pieces, and it turned out great! Chicken gets done, but is still moist, and the peanuts add a nice amount of heat.

Sorry to get off topic...

Brew’,

BOTH yeast and mold are fungus.

So, put it this way, fungus is required to manufacture High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Fungus is also required to make beer, wine, whiskey, and bread.

Yeast is a gift from God. Who else could devise an organism that eats sugar and poops CO2 and alcohol? Do people know how fortunate we are? ;)

Some people love the “super hot” stuff. Not I. It doesn’t take much, about the level of jalapeno, for the heat to make the food begin to taste bitter, and there is no gastronomic point in goosing the heat past that level. Maybe this is a genetic thang (like the ability to roll the tongue, which I can but some can’t).

Dr. Pepper with real sugar and in a glass bottle is the best! If you’re ever out in Dublin, Texas buy some in old glass bottles. The plant there never stopped using sugar.

And for some reason the Dr. Pepper in Harriman, Tennessee in the glass bottles tastes better. I’ve been told the taste can vary according to the local water supply.

I’ve been told that the carbonation is less in cans because the can can’t hold as much gas. Guess that’s why the bottled drinks are always better.

At the museum in Waco they’ll make you an original and the main ingredient is prune juice. It tastes a lot like regular D.P.

Man, I’m old. I remember the old 10-2 and 4 advertising campaign. Get your energy burst (sugar fix) three times a day!
