If only Dr. Pepper would bring back its Cherry Vanilla flavor. . .they'd have me locked in as a fan forever.

But. . .ehh. . .close enough. I've reached the point where I'll support any product that has advertisements that piss off the fundies. . .

Cherry Vanilla is the best Dr Pepper.

I like the ad, but I'm sorry, Dr. Pepper is Satan's diarrhea with carbonation.

Pfft, amateur attempt vs this:


And seriously? I STILL have difficulty actually believing that people exist who can actually be offended by this, even though I know it to be true.

They ship us gullible enough to believe that the tooth faerie leaves money under our pillows and that Santa Claus leaves gifts for us under a tree.

I have nothing against religion and I attend church, but boycotting a soda because their marketing team didn't depict Jesus drinking Dr. Pepper is just overboard.

I believed that God created us until I was in junior high school when a science teacher taught us evolution.

When I got home and explained to my mother she was mistaken, she charged into the school and tried to get the teacher fired. So I know zealots.

RC Cola wishes it was a contender...

Grew up in the South, lived in the South, left the South, returned to the South. Still think RC Cola takes like a hot bowl of ass.

Moon Pies are good though.

Am I the only one who prefers Coca Cola or Pepsi?
I'd blame being an Aussie but they sell it too here and I don't want it!

That's my thrilling contribution to this thread, I expect applauds and roses thrown at me

Nope. Coca Cola is the one true carbonated beverage (cane sugar based and in a glass bottle, of course). Your acceptance of Pepsi is a bit questionable, but I'm willing to cut you Aussies some slack. You guys walk around upside down all day long... no doubt the blood pooling in your heads have affected your taste buds slightly. Regardless, Dr Pepper is very nasty, and the less said about RC Cola, the better.

I HAVE SPOKEN!!!!

Oh, and here is your flower

Heed not the moon pie verbiage. One stuffs peanuts down the neck of a cold RC and eats them as they come. Any real Southerner is born knowing this.

I really liked Peach KoolAid when it was test marketed a few, okay like twenty, years ago. Is any of this OT? Somebody remind me what this thread is about please.

I have been trying to dance on the ceiling but being an Aussie didn't help, must be just my lack dancing skills.

Isn't this thread supposed to be about religion or evolution or something like that? Can I call a thread about Dr Pepper becoming about soft drinks even derailing?

You're close. It's carbonated prune juice, which causes the Satan's Diarrhea.
