Longhorn Steakhouse has no women's restroom & Dr Pepper Rant

[Lady_Acoma]

They also don't have Dr. Pepper, at least up here in Michigan. C'mon! Longhorn Steakhouse implies some kind of tie to Texas, and Dr. Pepper is ubiquitious in Texas. It's only since I moved to Michigan five years ago that I gradually stopped drinking it frequently because I can't find it very often.

I'm with Samnell, where in the heck are you in Michigan that you can't get Dr. Pepper? I hate the stuff but a large group of my friends live off the stuff I swear.

Can't get it in most restaurants, and since that's where I drink 95% of all the soft drinks that I do drink, I've largely stopped drinking Dr. Pepper.

I could buy it at just about any grocery store or convenience store, true, but I don't often buy soft drinks there.

I live in western suburban Detroit, by the way.

When I was in high school, a buddy of mine would go back in the summers to visit family in Michigan. He and his folks would take cases of Dr. Pepper with them and sell it in a lemonade stand sorta set up in his grandparent's neighborhood because they couldn't buy it in stores.

Dr. Pepper sucks.

Just like Pepsi sucks.

Just like Coca-Cola sucks.

They all suck. They ARE NOT the same soft drinks I had as a kid.

They've replaced all the sugar with High-Fructose Corn Syrup to save costs.

However,

Dr. Pepper from Dublin, TX is too quote today's kids 'da'bomb'.

That stuff kicks the **** out of any big name cola on the market, since they still use the orginal formula with sugar.

That's the Dr. Pepper I remember as a little kid.

Try it, you'll agree. All those Cola company ads about great taste are really trying to say 'how can we make it cheap, but not taste complelty revolting'.

Whoa. Calm down.

Whoa. Calm down.

Can't

Too much Dr. Caffenie levels too high.

There are places without Dr. Pepper?

What's bad is the majority of the US that doesn't have Cheerwine! Poor bastards don't know what they're missing!

Hmmm...well alot of the restuarants I eat at around here have it, but not all. And I live in Southwest Michigan, But my sister lives over in Woodhaven and you are right I never see it as an option on the menu there. Course I am never looking that hard cause again I hate the stuff but gotcha.

I'd agree with that. Cheerwine has been my soda of choice since jr high.

Especially since it's so readily available in our area....

What part of the Piedmont Triad are you in? I'm barely in it, m'self.
