This tickled my funny bone today.

Moving to a town where every store carries authentic Dublin Dr. Pepper and about every restaurant has it in the fountain... and imagining gracie's reaction when she finds out.

 

[gracie920101]

J's reaction? (The pure d Texan) "Sumbitch! Bastard!"

Mine? "That's just plain mean, you sadist!"

P.S. How soon can you be ready for a guest or two?

I had to look this up. Cults are strange.

I'm sad you had such a deprived life that you never had Dublin Dr. Pepper.

How is Dublin Dr Pepper different than other Dr Pepper?

 

[gracie920101]

Dublin Dr. Pepper is made with pure cane sugar in the original recipe. None of the fructose or derivatives crap.

There was a century long feud between Dublin, TX and Waco, TX as to which town owned the original formula. Waco finally bought out Dublin at the turn of this century, I believe, and the last original bottling company shut down in Dublin. It was a sad day in TX and we actually went there and bought a coup!e of cases before they closed. Now it operates on a very limited basis as a museum to show the process. "Dublin Dr. Pepper" is manufactured and bottled in Waco now but there is still some kind of a reciprocal agreement for distribution with Dublin.

On rare occasion, I can actually find a 6-pack here in SoFlo if I find a store that carries specialty sodas like Cheerwine and Big Red.

** I don't know where Acktion actually moved to because there are many places, large and small that would fall into what he described. I mean, it IS Texas, FFS!

Even as a kid, I didn't drink much pop. Now, as an adult, I can't remember the last time I had one.

I feel like such an asshole for laughing at this.

But, I can't seem to stop.

Guess that makes me an asshole too.

A random coincidence. I started talking with a guy at a bar and he turned out being my downstairs neighbor from years ago. He used to have ridiculous fights with his then girlfriend and they called each others absolutely insane things. Well, mostly she did and he was just quiet. J and I still laugh about some of them sometimes.

I never saw either of them when we lived in the same building. He was so embarrassed when it all came out that we had been neighbors. He also apologized profusely, but I said there’s no need to apologize. Because the laughs J and I got from them greatly outweigh the very occasional inconvenience of their fights.

Their fights never sounded violent or scary, just incredibly silly, so it never made us particularly uncomfortable.
