    Zeldy, I feel your pain. Since I have no going outage tonight, we should hang out with Dr. Pepper and green Ben and Jerry's. : D

    My love for Dr. Pepper goes beyond normal.

He wasn't losing any weight so she reviewed his logs. She was reviewing his food logs and he was eating relatively healthy. But when she reviewed his drinking log her jaw hit the floor. The guy was drinking at least 3000 calories of Dr. Pepper a day! He's a traveling salesman that drives everywhere and he was constantly drinking at least five 48 oz. big gulps (20 cans, almost a case) every day. Occasionally he would be as high as ten 48 oz. big gulps (40 cans, almost two cases), or 6000 calories.

    The recommended daily limit of caffeine is 250 mg and he was ingesting at least 820 mg a day, if not more, upwards of 1600 mg. She said the worst part of taking him off of the Dr. Pepper (i.e. caffeine) is that he actually went through violent withdrawals similar to those of a drug addict who quits cold turkey.
    That's insane! I used to drink regular Dr Pepper a lot, but not that much. Maybe closer to 6-8 cans/day. That's still not good for you, though.

    I don't really miss regular anymore. Diet Dr Pepper is surprisingly close as far as taste is concerned, and I've grown accustomed to it. Sometimes I mix it up and get Caffeine Free Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper.

    I lost respect when you mentioned 'diet' Dr Pepper, they aren't even the same thing at all. Diet is nothing on the regular version. Other than diet and zero (once, once, I tried them once) I have never seen or tried this vanilla variation!

    I think I go through about two 500ml bottles and a few cans every day at college, sometimes more. It's alot when I do that 5 days a week, costs me a fortune.

    Dr. Pepper from a restaurant tastes great, but Dr. Pepper from a store tastes terrible.

    I don't really drink much Dr. Pepper, but I think it's okay. I really like Diet Dr. Pepper =D

    Also, I, too, am more of a Mountain Dew person than Dr. Pepper, but like I said, it's not too bad.

    EDIT: And cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper is <3

    Dr. Pepper is the greatest (non-alcoholic) drink ever created. I drink it all the time.

    Dr Pepper is my favorite soda. I like all kinds of soda, except Caffeine Free. I'll drink diet before that. But one thing has irked me recently about the soda industry. Why is it MTN Dew now? It it so hard to spell it out. That just looks stupid.

    Dr Pepper is a terrible drink that should be ejected from Earth. Coca-Cola, cream soda and Sprite, however, are excellent.

    Mountain Dew is for flaming pedophiles who like bestiality.


    Edit: Also, there is a link between loneliness/weirdness and drinking Mountain Dew, I'm sure of it!
