I had my first Dr Pepper on Saturday....

[Trevor]

..... and jolly nice it was too: tasted like the Iron Brew drink with a touch of soda water. 

The drink has only recently become available here ~ it's a bit expensive: a can of Coke costs 7 SA rand and the Dr Pepper can almost R10, but it was nice.

Ever since I heard Jackie Gleason tell a waitress "Gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, I'm in a g****n hurry!" in Smokey & The Bandit, I wondered exactly what a Dr Pepper was. Now I know.

Wow... no Jolly Rancher and no Dr. Pepper?  That's a grim place you come from.

Do they at least have Cheez-Its?   

[Joe the Destroyer]

Just for scope, you should try Coke's answer to Dr. Pepper: Mr. Pibb.  It's not bad, but I think I prefer DP more.

<_<

>_>

No, not double-penetration, you pervs!

Don't worry, big biz will find a way to export all the junk food you can afford to you or make it locally.

Then you can be as overweight and diabetic as the average american. Won't that be great?

Do you have MOXIE in South Africa?  It is the worst carbonated beverage known to man.  Tastes like bitter medicine.

Oddly the McDonalds in my area are starting to sell Dr. Pepper, this used to be a Burger King advantage over McDonalds.

Dr. Pepper is the most popular soft drink in much of the South.  I am hopelessly addicted to the stuff.

[Mr_Vindictive]

I love Dr. Pepper.  Nothing like a nice cold gulp of it on a hot day.  It's delicious stuff!

In this part of the South, Sun Drop reigns supreme as the favorite soda.

This will be your only warning.  This forum is not the place for your agenda, vitriol, or rude attitude.  Before you post, carefully consider if what you are posting is intended to discuss something or just friendly chat.  If neither, I believe you will find it more likely to be part of your agenda and/or just being rude.

Ah, Dr Pepper, or as we refer to it, the nectar of the gods. I, like Indy, am hopelessly addicted to the stuff.

Glad you enjoyed it. 

[Leah]

yup, I'm a sucker for it, as with Barq's, Coke, Sprite, etc.....

No, we don't have that here ~ if we do get it, I will avoid it because you said so. 

[Leah]

by the way, how does your underpants feel about Dr.Pepper? will they be good?
