This might be unknown to a lot of folks but my favorite is ice cold Sun-drop in a glass bottle. Too good.

Living in the country IS great. I used to say when I was a kid that I was going to be a city girl when I grew up. I was going to live in a big city in some highrise condo, or whatever. It's funny how your priorities and just your whole way of thinking changes, isn't it?!

I live in the county but you might as well call it city, my wife and myself are looking for houses about 20 min from here where you can buy a house and however many acres of land you want.

Oh, and Alan...you HAVE to be careful about drinking too much dr. p, all kidding aside. My brother-in-law recently ran into some bad health, had to have some sort of stomach surgery because the acid in the DP had caused alot of damage! Don't mean to break your heart.

I miss the good old fashioned sugar cane Dr Peppers. When they switched to this corn syrup crap I couldn't stand them.

And RC - oh I remember those!!! Always at grandma's house in N'Orleans.

makes my mouth water!!

Oh, well, see...he had the DP IV goin' 24/7! Guess that could cause a problem, huh?! How do you do something like that to your body and then go, "ya' know, I just don't know why my stomach feels like I have battery acid running through it"!

Good point, coke and sprite makes me feel like I have heartburn so I try to avoid those unless I am sick or have a stomach ache, coke gets rid of everything espically when it is hot or warm lol

Ok, I'm chuckling as I write this, but my sweet, precious mamaw (past away three years ago) used to keep cokes in the fridge....seems it helped her out when she was "gassy". LOL

When we had an ice storm in feb I used an old 2 liter coke to melt the ice off the windshield only darn thing that worked, i would be more worried about what coke is made of than dp lol

Oh yes! The coke works really well if you're out on the road, out of cleaner, and the windshield is gross. It really cleans it very well. (I think I'll change my choice of drink, btw).

We still get small Coke's in bottles too.
I miss the old bottles.
I remember back as a kid in the 80s my brother, friends and I would fill a shopping cart with bottles and push it to Winn Dixie which was only a couple of blocks from our house.
The sound of the bottles rattling was music to our ears.
After splitting up 7 bucks or whatever it was we'd hit the Jiffy and then the city pool.

btw, I have a 2 liter of Dr. Chek in the fridge now.
