Well I have a couple of items dealing with the soda industry to post... The first is Dr.Pepper's release (in the heartland according to Wikipedia) released 16 ounce special edition cans today. These cans feature "Old Doc," the original mascot, and the kicker is that it is made with REAL CANE SUGAR! It doesn't have disgusting high fructose corn syrup in it! It goes down much more smooth, versus the sharp taste of today's recipie. I highly suggest checking your local retailers so that you can try some! Secondly, I went on a trip with my father. We passed through Danville, Illinois, and at a gas stop I got a fountain drink. Lo and behold, there was a Vanilla Coke sticker. I know that the syrup is not produced anymore, so this had to be old stock. It was a little flat, and tasted a bit weak, but the flavor was there until the ice melted. I really enjoyed getting to step back in time to get the stuff! If you are in that area, check a few of the c-stores to see what you can come up with! (Sorry folks, neither my father nor I can remember the name of the c-store). Pictures to come later of the Dr.Pepper...sorry, I didn't get one of the Vanilla Coke. Thanks for reading! |
