Favorite things Friday: Dr. Pepper

Oh I love me some Dr. Pepper. This here, folks, is the only soft drink for me. And I know there's a whole contingent out there saying, "Uh, yeah, we know!" Said contingent consists mainly of my daughters, all of whom have had to run to the store at various times to get me a 2-liter right now this minute before I die of thirst.

I looked up the Dr. Pepper Web site and found out there's actually a Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, Texas, which I may re-route a vacation for, now that I know about it. Also under the FAQs, it says Dr. Pepper was created in 1885 and as such is the oldest major soft drink brand in the country. Huh. Who knew?

It also gives the product's shelf life at 9 months or 39 weeks for cans or glass bottles and 3 months or 13 weeks for plastic bottles. Ha! As if any would last that long around here!

Oh yeah... we know you love Dr.Pepper. It is pretty good, I am a Mt. Dew grrl myself though.

Erich might have to go with you to the museum. He is nutty for the Pepper too.
