Reading about the Dublin deal made me think of a couple of Dr. Pepper related things from my high school days, long, long ago.
First we had a Dr. Pepper machine in our gym that had the temperature set so that when you bought one and opened it, inside the bottle would frost up just enough to still allow you to drink it. After basketball practice it was so good I can almost still taste it.
Then there was a Dr. Pepper commercial where it is so hot a man just melts in the middle of the road and this little St. Bernard goes to his dad and says, "Papa, papa, come quickly, a human just melted." Naturally they find his mouth in the puddle and pour Dr. Pepper down him and revive him. The joke became when you would get so hot you couldn't hardly stand it you would say "A human just melted."

I am betting there is going to be a run on Dr. Pepper's still out there bottled at Dublin! I am sending my family members on a hunt for some.

I have a brother in law that lives in Dublin. I'm gonna have to call him up.

There is a place in Angelo that has it on tap. We could lay under the tap and have a friend hold the handle open. Ha

Not supposed to drink them, but again they are good. Loved the story, about the human melting.

Go to eBay take a look. You'll never believe the bid amounts for Dublin DrPepper

They still had it on tap at a conveince store last night about 6:30 when I passed through town. News crew outside the plant/museum. Just read an article on MSN Money. Interview of Abilene woman: I'll never buy DP again. Twitter: "Dear Texas, go buy all the Dublin DP you can, while you can" celeb chef Alton Brown "then go shoot a bottle of snapple".
Three pages of comments: "Screw Snapple", bad press,
$22 a bottle on e-bay with 5 bid's ?
When I first read about this going to court a few months back I thought I wonder who will win, the small town bottler or the corporate giant ?
Article said they're still going to make it in Temple with cane sugar, just won't be Dublin DP ???????????????
Still going to bottle XXX Root Beer, NU Grape and Big Red there.

I thought the article said
the majority of Dublin DP
was made in a Temple anyway
so what's the big deal?

The canned ones had been since they came out with them. The bottles were still done in Dublin.

Plus,
DP is not that tasty.
I don't get it.

Actually,
I did go and look.
Not a big DP fan,
but that one collection of items for only $5000
really caught my eye.
Checking my wallet right now.

I don't drink much soda, but IMO, The bottled Dublin DP is one of the best

Go buy a 10 lb. sack of imperial pure cane sugar and a bunch of prune juice. Mix it up and viola, you got dublin DP.

I think you may have left out a couple of ingredients.

First he left out the CO2. You'll need a Sodastream. The boys bought the wife one for Christmas and it works pretty good.

I went to Eggemeyer's in San Angelo today to see if they still had some bottles for sale...they didn't...they told me 2 days ago a woman bought all they had...all 25 cases! They do have an old fashioned soda fountain and still have it on tap! I did drink one from the tap! The last Dr. Pepper I will ever drink!
