The New Dr. Pepper

20111016-000621.jpg

Well the Dr is in with a new variety and a fancy label. The cooler welcomes Dr. Pepper TEN. That ten stands for the ten calories it has per 8oz but the bottle is 20oz. Come to think of it have you ever seen a 8oz bottle of soda? If you have it’s rare.

What even more interesting is that the label tells us that one serving is this 20oz bottle. If that the case why not just call it Dr. Pepper 20?

Either way it’s better that the regular 250 calories that the original good Dr has. It goes down with some extra bubbles than the regular but has the same over all taste. No bad after taste.

We approve it.

The Fountain Brain


First off, I’m not sure if I can even blog about this. I probaly wasn’t even ment to see it either but I did. Here’s the tale of the brains of the fountain drink machine.

I guess I feel a cheated like in The Wizard of Oz. I always thought that the fountain drinks machines pumped the soda directly from the source. I guess ther isn’t soda lines under every street. Instead the goodness lives in dusty closet at the 7-11.

I got as close as I could to take in the sweet smells of sugar but was distracted by the sounds of the pumps. As I stepped closer to look at the lines filled with what I thought might be Dr. Pepper the door slammed shut and I could feel eyes on me. The clerk tapped me on the back. I turned around and was greeted with “my I help you?”. I slowly put my hands up and told him I wasn’t looking for any troubles and that I would be on my way.

I will never forget this day.
