26. Um...Dr. Pepper is owned by the Carlyle Group now.
Yes, that Carlyle Group. The one poppy Bush was involved with.

(If I'm wrong, please tell me, 'cause I really like Dr. Pepper, too, but won't drink it anymore because of their owners.)

50. I Believe You're Wrong
From the referenced article:

The American Bottling Company will bottle and distribute approximately 30% of Dr Pepper/Seven Up (DPSU) volume in the Independent Bottling System (IBS).

I will go on believing that I'm drinking from the other 70 percent.

9. RC Cola, you dumbass worthless fuck!!
Sweet Jesus, I thought you were a democrat. Ignorant fuck. Why don't you just go over to freerepublic where your flag-waving agenda and dreams of anal intercourse with Shrubbie McFuckWad are more appreciated.

How can anyone, who calls himself a DUer, actually say it's about coke or pepsi? I'm so saddened. In fact, I'm alerting you, and putting you on ignore, and I'm going to ask you - in all seriousness - to consider therapy. I really would rather have you healthy. And if not, then fuck off, and let the real democrats and the real liberals have this forum back.

Being banned after saying "leave DU for the real ones, like me".

You do know, of course, I was only joking in my post, right?

17. I'm quite a fan of the Code Red myself...
At first I thought it tasted a bit like cough syrup, but now I'm hooked.
It's excellent for late night study sessions...Since our tastes in Mountain Dew differ, clearly we must battle to the death. I choose pistols at dawn!

And I take mine caffeine free. It tastes just the same, unlike diet.:shrug:

But I choose any kind of sparkling water over anything else. I like anything with bubbles, LOL!:D

48. That's a Southern drink, isn't it?!
I've heard of it and would love to try it, but it's not available in the Northeast. I stick to Vichy water, which is probably not available in the South!:D

couldn't tell the diff. And the people testes were people who swore they could tell the diff.

46. I've read that too. However, as a bartender, one of the idiotic
things we used to do was to compare things.... Johnny Walker Red to Glenfiddich, 7-Up to Sprite, Coke to Pepsi, etc.
