I'm required by contract to tell you that Dr. Pepper is the true Nectar of the Gods. They bottle pure magic, for instance they turned my little TV into a 65" Behemoth with one twist of its cap.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It's funny when people order a (whatever alcohol) and soda and they wanted coke.  OK, wherever you are from in the world, in a bar......SODA is soda water and COKE is a cola type beverage.

Also,  Coke is now legally a proper generic term.  How many of you have been to a restaurant and ordered a coke only to have the server say, "is pepsi ok?"
Coke is now like Xerox, Kleenex, and Crescent wrench.

 Dad.............."Son hand me the Crescent wrench"
SON.............."Dad,  all I have is a generic adjustable wrench, is that ok?"

So, what happens when you been to places in the US ranging from Georgia to Washington state - and you always only heard Soda-Pop?

Does that make the entire map completely ****ing useless and retarded, and all of you for arguing over it the same? Yes, yes it does.

Totally, yeah.... This map suprised the hell out of me. I've spent time in almost every state, and they all say "soda".

Seeing all that blue on the map indicating "pop" doesn't add up...

I'm from California and I have come to know "pop" or "coke" as the generic terms.

Do you know what would be cool though?

Take this map into Photoshop.

Overlay it onto the map showing the Rep/Dem 2000 election results.

Then take all that, and overlay it onto the map showing the satelite shot of areas lit up at night.

And draw your own conclusions.

Unflavored Soda is Seltzer water
Unless your in a bar

Didnt Dr pepper used to be made from all the leftover soda flavors?

I seem to remember hearingt ht when I was a kid back in the 60's.

Also seemed a bit of a crapshoot as to what it would taste more like Cola or Cherry whenever you bought one

Reminds me of super troopers

Farve:  And I'd like a liter of cola

Clerk:  a what?

Farve:  A liter of cola!

Clerk (over intercom): do we have liters of cola?

Might as well do county colors for lunch and dinner and supper too (hint: Christ and the disciples did not have The Last Dinner).

ahh nope.

i actually did a research paper on Dr Pepper in college LOL.


it was first made in 1885, in waco texas. there is a debate between coke and dr pepper as to who was the first... but they generally are the same age. the oldest soda brand in the usa.

dr pepper recipe has 23 different flavors in it, all "secret". the recipe has been mostly untouched from the begining.

Same here.  Although living in Arizona I have also been known to call it a soda.  Never a pop.

hahahahahaha!!!

SODA.  BLUBBLER = WATER FOUNTAIN.  WHITE SODA = Sprite/7up.  I said "I'll have a white soda please," in Indianapolis last year and received a funny look.
