its pretty rare to find dr. pepper in restaurants in NJ (at least northern nj..don't know about southern)..which i guess is good because its too hard for me to resist, i'm better off not having the temptation..

Dr. Pepper is practically the only kind of pop/soda that I will drink! I actually had to boycott the Taco Bell near the place where I work because they stopped selling Dr. Pepper. :eek: After numerous complaints they brought it back! :) If restaurants don't have DP I will settle for a Mr. Pibb...

A lot of times I find it very hard to find Vernor's. Is Vernor's just a Michigan thing?

Must be, I've never heard of it.

AMEN to DP with pure cane sugar! I went to school 30 minutes away from the only DP plant left in the country that still uses the "real stuff"--in Dublin, TX. Makes all the difference in the world & I won't drink it any other way!

i'm gonna say ditto to dzandiloo and AlphaSigOU.

A couple years ago, me and a couple bros loaded up the car and took a road trip to Boulder for the A&M football game. We stopped in Dublin because the pledge we were with was telling us about how the Dr. Pepper there still uses real sugar. It was 10X better than the regular Dr. Pepper. On the way back to CS we made sure to stop and pick up a 6 pack each :D

We have plenty of Dr P in Alaska ktsnake...just no snakes!!!

And for the Vernor's...I cannot have ANY other kind of gingerale if I am feeling under the weather. It is Vernors or NOTHING.

I love dr. pepper and diet dr. pepper - but in new england, where I grew up, and in the greater chicago area, where I am now, it just isn't sold at restaurants. I have to go to a convenience store or the supermarket if I want one.

Diet Dr. Pepper is the BEST! I live for it.

I thought I was the only one!!!
Heehee!
I love Dr Pepper and thankfully it is easily found at restaurants and bars, and everywhere in good ole KENTUCKY!
Damn rednecks know what tastes good!

:p Count yourself lucky! Where I live I can't get Mountain Dew!! :eek: Of any type! Dr Pepper is everywhere but no Mountain Dew. They sold it for a while everywhere so I got to like it and now not anywhere!

We do have DP here in PA :)

DP Is the only soda I will drink. Thankfully here, it served on fountain everywhere. The best DP is at the taco bell right off campus. They have perfect balance of carbonation and syrup. Mmmmmm, i'm thirsty...

This post was like the mother ship calling home, I can't believe you all love the doctor too! lol Two of my sisters and I use to refer to it as the "world's best beverage". I love it but the only place they served it here was taco bell as well. We'd beg people to buy it for sorority events.

sigmanuzk 06-08-2003 10:31 PM

They have it here at the grocery stores, mini-marts and fast food places but never have i found it in a sit down restaurant. An interesting note it is said that one of my relatives from Texas invented the stuff.
