Soft Drink Terms, the Invention of Soda Water, Dr Pepper, and Foreign Flavors
Just a little something I found on Yahoo! News, which involves a favorite subject of mine:
I actually have a bottle of the turkey & gravy soda, as a gift from my wife a few years ago. Never drank it, though; we keep it as a novelty. It came in a package with other flavors: sweet potato, dinner roll, pea, and of course, antacid.
Oh, and the Midwest isn’t the only one who calls it “pop;” so do the people of Canada. At least in Toronto.
Finally, any guesses as to what flavors comprise Dr Pepper? Apparently, “prunes” is not a correct answer.
Oh, and if you’ve wondered why the name has no period in “Dr,” then you should cast your eyes to Back of the Cereal Box.
