The Good Doctor

We always get a kick out of the generic brands. Most of the time the color scheme stays the same, thats what tricks you. The price difference is always a plus too.

Dr. Bob? Ok we know that its generic but did they have to pick such a common name. That doesn’t even sound like a trust worthy doctor(no offense to any doctors named Bob). Sound like a doctor you would hear about on a sitcom. Perhaps a name like Dr. Peter or maybe even Dr. Picker would have sounded better. Here’s a list of ever better generic Dr. Peppers. Dr. Pepper Rip-offs So perhaps they just ran out of clever names.

However the label is clever. We like the “open wide and say ahhh!”

Do you have a favorite generic soda?

Mr. Pibb VS Dr. Pepper

Are you a pepper or a pibb? Just recently Mr. Pibb has made his way to the northeast area. We have never seen it before in these parts. After our first sampling we noticed a similarity to the good doctor.

It’s hard for us to decide seeing that Mr. Pibb is kind of new to us. So we ask you the people to be the judge tell us you who think is the winner!

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.
