Did you know that Dr. Pepper is fruit flavoured?
I discovered this for the first time this year in the UK while reading a can of Dr. P.
Dr. Pepper, like pumpkin pie and chocolate chip cookies is purely American and isn't really exported much. This catapults it to luxury item status when you are away from home. In general, I don't really drink soda, but when It is available (like when I'm back home in the US) - I drink Dr. Pepper. Oddly, rootbeer isn't readily available either and it used to be my favorite beverage when I was little - but now I go for Dr. Pepper.
Anyway - Dr. Pepper has appeared in MY local grocery store for $1.10 per can. Wow. Not sure those 23 fruit flavors are really worth that. Still, when a friend offered to buy some from the US Embassy store for us -for the amazing US price of 55 cents - I couldn't resist - esp knowing that it costs so much in a local store.
So this winter, it's not about eggnog and cider - we'll be cracking open our Dr.Peppers and saying Happy Holidays to all.
