We don't have Dr. Pepper, but we have Root Beer

[secretprankster]

The stuff most restaurants serve never tastes like real Coke or Pepsi anyway so I can't see why it's ever a real issue.

I [censored] hate how when you put $20 in gas in and the [censored] pump starts running at a near stop when it gets to $19.50 and you're left standing there like a [censored] douche when it takes 5 minutes longer to pump the 50c of gas as it did for the first $19.50

sorry, you must be looking for the Tourette's thread in BBV.

some companies will carry a competitors product as part of their distribution channel just to maintain their exclusive control of said channel. consider it a one stop shop for clients who don't want to compromise on drinks. i know this is the case for beer, i'd imagine its the same for the coke cartel.

WTF is up with DDP ads anyway. "Tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper." More like regular Dr Pepper than what? Coke? Pepsi? Ram piss?

Also I once heard of a job where a guy drives around to establishements that serve Pepsi and asks for a Coke to make sure that the waitress/counterboy clarifies that they serve Pepsi because Coke doesn't want their brand name to end up losing its value like Xerox/Band-Aid. Anyone know if that is a real job?

Um, it means it tastes more like its regular counterpart than Diet Coke tastes like its regular version, or Diet Sprite tastes like Sprite. They were probably anticipating a target demographic with an IQ over 60, which would explain such an egregious offense.

In a small part of Texas just SW of Ft. Worth is a city called Dublin. In this city, they bottle and distribute a unique version of Dr. Pepper. They replace the corn syrup with Pure Cane Sugar just like in the old days. They even come in old style packaging to differentiate between the two styles.

Best. Soda. Ever.

Unfortunately it is only available in that distributing area and is hard to find in DFW. Although Wal-Mart carries the 8 oz glass mini-bottle 6-pack.

There is a college in the area (Tarleton State) and my cousin-in-law goes there and tells me stories of people loading up cases upon cases into their cars when they go home for the summer.

Scary,

"I have never seen someone order a Pepsi/Coke and then order something other than the alternative."

That's weird. I've seen people order Coke tons of times and order some other drink rather than Pepsi.
