ping: sandy/ragmop
We saw the news story about your Dr. Pepper bottling plant. I think that
place must have been near and dear to many of the locals there. This stinks, I am boycotting Snapple. I'm sorry. : ( Taria |

It's Dr.Pepper time!
Howdy!
As a true fan of Dr.Pepper, I'll keep sipping it. Yes, as a company, D.P./Snapple just kinda' blew that deal; could have kept the biz going down in Dublin (about 80 miles south of Ft.Worth), there's enough business to share. That little museum is fun; pay the small fee, take the tour, get a bottle of old-fashioned, pure cane sugar Dr.Pepper as you leave. http://www.dublindrpepper.com/ Thing is, I don't really care for that medicinal-tasting D.P.. It's thick, strong, and kinda' strange. But they were doing just fine, it's a great draw to that small town; it's history, it worked - why screw with that? In-laws lived in Stephenville, next door to Dublin, so we often took the trip to get the old-fashioned bottles of D.P. and root beer sold at the factory. The D.P. bottles are/were newer, the root beer bottles are 30+ yrs old; we paid the deposit & kept them all. ;-) Also included in the trek was a stop at the quilt shop in Stephenville, The Flying Needle; I have my priorities. g http://www.theflyingneedle.net/ Never cared for Snapple, so they come fizzle away. But the Dr.Pepper will continue to flow. Cheers! R/Sandy On 1/13/12 11:20 AM, in article , "Taria" wrote: We saw the news story about your Dr. Pepper bottling plant.

There was a family member on the newspot I saw crying
about the whole thing. It was really sad. I felt pretty bad for them all. That looks like a great quilt shop. I swing by M & L near disneyland on my way to visit family. Makes the trip a lot more fun ! Taria "Sandy E" wrote in message ... Howdy! As a true fan of Dr.Pepper, I'll keep sipping it.

It's Dr.Pepper time!
BUT, but, you know, it may come back. Part of the special childhood around
here was the Barq's root beer plant on the Gulf Coast and next door to a crab meat packing plant. They closed the original plant. Eventually opened another one. Your favorite root beer may not be a big deal but it was such a favorite that UPS and FedEx had quite a problem with mamas trying to ship a carton of glass bottles to college students far and away. The 'original' always had a whiff of crabmeat clinging about the bottle. The new plant's bottles are absent that familiar combination. Our children and grands expect this granny will have a few in the refrigerator for when they come by. I guess I could dunk the bottles in a sack of crabmeat to make them really real.
