I drink between 2-4 liters a day. That is to say that I drink 1-2 two
liter bottles per day. Then I drink cans or bottles when I am not
home.

I recently drove from New Mexico to Virginia along I-20 and saw a
couple of places selling DP in glass bottles. One was for sure in
Dublin, Texas at David's Grocery store. Ther I bought a 6-pack of the
8oz bottles that are really nice collector's items. They have the
Imperial Pure Cane Sugar logo and another emblem below that says:
Since 1891
Dr. Pepper
Good For Life
Dublin, Texas
This is all written in a triangle with ribbons at the top. Maybe I can
get a picture of it and scan it sometime. But I find it interesting
that it shows DP written with the period after Dr.
Then on the back it has the well known 10-2-4 logo.
At another store/truck stop that I think was also in Texas, I bought a
DP in a 12oz glass bottle with a plastic lid. There was nothing really
unusual about it but I had not seen glass bottles of that size in a
few years, so I had to get one.
Other than that, I haven't seen glass bottles anywhere near the east
coast. Of course I may have just missed the stores that do sell them.

before that at some poshy stores but it was about $3 per can!!!!
I worked as a grocery manager at a supermarket when it was launched, tried
it, loved it.
Now drinking it is like a badge of honour.
Don't get me wrong, it sells well, but finding LOVERS of DP is hard.
There is something about ordering a DP, peolple look at you and you can read
there faces.
"You like it?" they say
"LOVE it" is always the reply

This person dared me to jump in the swiming pool and risk my life
and they would buy me a 24 pack of DP, I jumped in 2 tenths of
a second after they said that, and I got the dp! I also paid $150.00
on www.dr-pepper.com the domain and like $200.00 on stuff from
the online drpepper catalog just because I felt like it.

bottles of dr pepper and went all nutty on the slerk because these were the
last 3 bottles . . .you should have heard the bitching... "I KNOW I'M IN
THE LAND OF COCA-COLA (note: let's change "Atlanta" to that) BUT I SHOULD BE
ABLE TO FIND A REASONABLE SUPPLY OF DR PEPPER I MEAN THIS IS A MARKET BASED
ECONOMY . . " yap yap yap. notwithstanding that this was a DRUG store and
she should have been kissing the clerk's ass for stocking any stupid soft
drink anyway, plus there is a special place in heaven reserved for people
who work retail and she should BACK the HELL OFF. I told her that, but
nicer, but she didn't care.

They have a special place for me?
My store doesn't sell DP. Only Pepsi products.
Thank (lowercase)god there is a grocery store next door.

I guess Coke distributes DP in your area then? I grew up with Pepsi
distributing it and then moved across the country and had to get used
to Coke having the rights. Now I am back "home" and keep forgetting
that the sale on Coke products doesn't include my favorite soda here.
I'll just have to re-adjust again....

Well, Dr Pepper is usually included with Coke sales at one store.
With Pepsi Sales at another.
When my store used to carry Coke instead of Pepsi, we still didn't carry DP.
Go figure.

Wow. It's Sunday and I'm responding to a message all the way back from
Friday. It's almost like I have a life[1]. How strange.
[1] I spent most of Friday at work and playing Starcraft, and all of
Saturday playing various network computer games, so I wouldn't go quit so
far as calling it a life. :-)

The Retail God loves all his retail children equally.

Mmm . . . rather, I would say you have advanced to alternate geek
activities. Still, congratulations are in order!

I'll agree, and NOT for the sake of arguement.
Speaking of retail, we just got in Christmas merchandise today.
You know that imitation snow that looks like it belongs in pillows?
Within the next week, we are due to receive our display trees.
Well, the weather outside's delightful,
but the scene within is frightful....

That's pretty much what my days consist of. Alternating from one geek
activity to another. :-) Like today. I spent a very hefty portion of
the day trying to make one of my computers work. (Punishment, I think,
for having so much fun over the weekend and for being on vacation this
week. <G>) It would have been a simple matter of upgrading video card
drivers, but the drivers were very resistant to that sort of thing. After
a couple hours I finally broke down and called tech support. I usually
try to avoid that sort of thing, because try as they might, they can't
seem to tell me anything I didn't already know[1]. Plus Matrox doesn't
have an 800 number--I had to call long distance. <grumble grumble> The
guy of course couldn't help me, but he was fairly nice and he complimented
me on being prepaired and knowledgable. He even called back a couple
minutes after disconnecting because he thought of something else to try,
which didn't work, but was a nice gesture anyway. Later I tried upgrading
my BIOS, which was a horrible mess, and a few hours later ended up right
where I had started in the morning.
I apologize for dragging everyone through my technical difficulties for
the day. :-)
[1] There is one exception to this, and it's actually an interesting
story. Back a couple years ago when I worked at Computer Medics, a local
computer repair place, I was working on an NEC computer. (I don't recall
what the problem was--something that gave strange BIOS startup messages)
After working at it a bit, I finally decided to call NEC tech support. We
had a book (Upgrading and Repairing PCs, IIRC) that had gobs of company
contact phone numbers. So I looked up NEC, called, and after going
through the phone prompts finally it gave me a second number to call. I
called that number, went through the phone prompts, got ahold of a person,
and this person gave me a third phone number to call. The third phone
number got me Packard Bell technical support. My immediate reaction was
that the guy from the second phone number was playing a sick joke on me,
but I went through the prompts and talked to a person, and miraculously,
this Packard Bell tech was able to quickly diagnose and step me through
fixing this problem on an NEC computer. A little later I remembered
having heard that NEC bought Packard Bell, but I was a bit confused for a
little while.
