Paula, Where do you find the Dr. Pepper with cane sugar in Texas? I'm in Bryan. I have seen it advertised at Bancrofts in Kerens, as being from the plant in, I think the ad said, Dublin. I would have to go back and look. My aunt, who is in the nursing home, wants a Dr. Pepper every afternoon. What a treat it would be for her to have one of the "real thing". But, when we take her for a ride, she always wants to get a Coca Cola. Would be great to have one of the old formula Cokes, too. I just can't take the new stuff. When New Coke came out, we were putting lime juice into the Cokes, to make them drinkable. It didn't help that much. When they brought Classic Coke out, that was like a dose of medicine, but I drank them. After I had thryoid surgery a few years ago, they gave me Sprite or 7Up and orange juice. After that, nothing else tastes right. Cecelia in Aggieland > And we buy Dr Pepper with cane sugar here in Texas for a premium, but it > is > a nice treat.

Cecelia ! Dublin is where the Dr. Pepper plant that uses the original cane sugar is. They make a big thing out of it. In '57, my wife and I were attending a production of "Auntie Mame" at a Broadway theater. The play has a really funny line in it about Dr. Pepper, but the laughs were very spotty..... most of those yankees had no idea what it was about. Joe
