Quote Of The DayLeave it up to former Bendite Dane to come up with this descriptive text: "The Dr Pepper at our local Wendy’s tastes like watered-down Band-Aids." Boy does that ever sound rancid. Posted by Jake on 04/25/06 @ 10:33 PM

Jake said on 04/26/06 @ 02:18 PM: At least you didn't put a period in "Dr" otherwise you'd have them all over your ass, too. Dane said on 04/26/06 @ 05:22 PM: Ahh yes. No student of journalism would be caught dead without his trusty Associated Press Stylebook: Dr Pepper: A trademark (no period after Dr) for a brand of soft drink. Headquarters is in Dallas. josh said on 04/26/06 @ 11:42 PM: what bothers me most about the Wendy's restaurants in Bend is that they fill the whole cup all the way to the top with ice, then they put a little soda in it and call it good. It bugs me to no end when I barely get 8 oz. of beverage in a 32 ouce cup. Jake said on 04/27/06 @ 09:14 AM: Josh: OK, good, I'm not the only one that's had that problem there. Dane: Was Dr Pepper actually mentioned in the AP Stylebook? I'm going to have to dig mine out (of course, it's 10 years old). Dane said on 04/27/06 @ 09:33 AM: Yup. It's on page 78 of the 2000 printing. On another note, I cannot recommend the new Diet Dr Pepper Berries and Creme Maximum Taste Revolution Extreme TO THE MAX Edition. The stuff is horrible. It tastes more like cough syrup than anything I have previously known, including cough syrup. On another note, apparently there's a TV commercial where a bunch of guys are running around, jumping down stairwells and such, because they love Dr Pepper Berries and Creme so much. Truth be told, methinks they drank the crap only to be so horrified by the taste that they are attempting suicide by any available means. Post a comment |
