Bill, I love Sheriff Dan Rhodes, but I have a different take on Dr Pepper. I grew up in Freeport, TX and Dr Pepper was hugely popular when I was a kid in the fifties, but my mother told me it was made from prune juice and that set me off for life. I hated prune juice! She said it was called "Dr" because it was formulated by a doctor to help kids with bowel movements. What can I say? I was just a kid and you're supposed to trust your mother...

I heard that prune juice story for years when I was a kid (not so much lately), but I still loved Dr Pepper.

And now you drink straight prune juice.

Or not.

In New York we had Dr. Brown and his Cel-Ray tonic.

Or else you say, "Gimme a bottle of Manhattan Special.

Cel-Ray sounds bad enough, but the Manhattan Special is beyond that.

It was popular in the Italian neighborhood where we used to live, though not with me. Cel-Ray always seemed gross to me.
