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

[HellHound]

Yeah... As a prior resident of Georgia, Canadian Dr Pepper makes me sad. That said, I also miss Mr Pibb. I really liked Mr Pibb.

Dr Pepper is basically -not- available in restaurants at all... just grocery stores and corner stores.

Oh yeah, on the subject of soft drinks, I also have to say that I was sorely disappointed by American Coca-Cola last time I had some - it's FAR more sugary than Canadian... but not as bad as the cans I had from various Pacific Rim nations.

Bah. I stick to Canada Dry Ginger Ale. It's weird in that it's a Soda, but at the same time...doesn't suck the rust off of a really rusty thingy.

Water all the way.

Man, I've never heard of Cheerwine. Sounds good...Cheerwine.

You have to live in the Carolinas to be able to appreciate the taste that is Cheerwine.

It's a Carolina thing! Just like the Panthers!!!

Maybe the thread should be just called the "Dr Pepper Rant" thread.

There was this brief news blurb about bees really liking Dr. Pepper in, I believe, Shreveport. They showed where the bees had totally swarmed and covered a can of Dr. Pepper that someone had left in the parking lot. It resulted in having to call in beekeepers to remove the bees and Dr. Pepper can.

It could have just been a swarm of bees that just happened to choose there to land. They will sometimes land on the weirdest things... Mostly they go to trees and stuff but not always. My Dad is a beekeeper you see.

Dr. Pepper is ubiquitious in Texas.

Yet another reason to never go to Texas.

Yet another reason to never go to Texas.

I agree! Plus there is just not enough snow there....yucky.

Never really noticed it before, but your right. Dr. Pepper is all over the stores but not in the restaurants. Odd.

On a side note. My parents moved from Michigan to Wyoming and descovered there was not a drop of Verners. She can't even find that in stores out there.

It's interesting how some things are still regional. This post can be read by anyone in the world. But Dr. Pepper, Cherrwine, or Verners may be unavailable to some of us fairly close (ona glabal scale).
