have you tried this?
Yes, I didn't like it! I do have a can of it and the regular Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper in my collection though. I also have tried and have a can in my collection of Dr Pepper Cherry, Dr Pepper Vanilla Float and Dr Pepper Red Fusion. I did not like any of them except for the Red Fusion (they don't make it anymore).
When Dr Pepper puts out a new flavor I always rush to try it. I make sure that I keep one to two cans and/or bottles of it for my collection. When ever they put out a special Dr Pepper can (examples: The Avengers, Indiana Jones, football) I save them for my collection also.
I have a spare refrigerator in my pantry. The second shelf of it is nearly full of different flavors and designs of Dr Pepper cans that I am saving for my collection. A few years back when my oldest daughter brought her boyfriend for us to meet (he's our son-in-law now), I caught him in the pantry with one of those SPECIAL cans in his hands on the verge of popping the top of it to drink it! He doesn't know how lucky he was that I caught him in the nick of time before he opened that can!!!! I let him know quick that those cans were off limits to absolutely everyone.
It peeved me because I was raised that if you are a guest in someone's house, you don't just help yourself to whatever you want, unless they have given you permission to do so.
Oh my goodness...he went into your pantry and helped HIMSELF?? Yes, I was raised to never do that too. Or go into someone else's refridgerator. I still won't do that. Not even if it's one of my friends. When one of my friends has said "go get such and such" I've actually said to them, "You want me to go into your refridgerator??" That seems like a very personal, intimate place to me.

One thing I've learned (the hard way) is that cans of carbonated beverages, after sitting around a few months, don't taste very good !!! .... I used to "stock up" when a good sale was running and buy a few 12-packs of my three favorite flavors -- only to end up tossing them out if I don't use them within, say, 2-3 months....
Then I realized that the sale was probably run because the soda had already been sitting around the store for too long....
After consuming at least 2 cans a day for most of my life (actually thought I was "addicted" to carbonation for a while), I don't seem to want it anymore.... so probably only have a little, maybe three times a week now -- usually just pick up a 12-oz. bottle when purchasing milk at a convenience store.... I'm wondering if my stomach has decided it no longer wants to be treated like a frozen lug nut.... When stuck with a flat tire in the early 1980's on a rental car and unable to get the wheel off, I tried the "trick" of pouring Coke over the lug nuts -- it worked ! ... So, what's it doing to your stomach ?!
About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with "Barrett's Esophagus" and told to limit spicy foods, hot foods, acidic foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, etc.... three years later, I had it down to just a short segment of my throat, so am not as worried about it developing into cancer now.... A word to the wise -- you can get away with "abusing" your body for several years, but it usually comes back to haunt you !!

I fell asleep in church once. The choir was singing forever and I just closed my eyes for a minute....next thing I knew my head snapped back. I was so embarrassed!
I fell asleep in church when I was about 12 years old. After a prayer is said by a man in the congregation he says, "Amen". When he does that most of the men also say "Amen" at the same time. Well, a prayer was said and when the men said, "Amen" I yelled out really LOUD "AMEN!" I was immediately wide awake because I realized what I had done. Everyone was staring at me and you could have heard a pin drop. Talk about wanting to crawl under the pew and disappearing. Only the males are supposed to say "Amen" out loud in my church.
Also for a couple of years growing up, we had a preacher who did all of his sermons in monotone. I wonder how many of us took catnaps for those 30 to 35 minute sermons?!??
That is so funny! We had a pastor that was monotone when I was a child. He would drone on then suddenly raise his voice. It was startling and would always make me jump a little.

If we wanted money or something else that was in her handbag, my mother would tell us to bring her handbag to her. I am always shocked when I see children going through their mothers' handbags. Also, we always said handbag not purse. "Women purse their lips, read pocket books, and carry handbags." Look at the handbag section in any department store and it will always say handbags.

I don't plan on drinking the cans that are in my collection. I eventually use a nail to punch two holes in the bottom of them so I can drain them. Then I fill with water several times to rinse them out. That way the 'pop top/tab' is still intact and sitting on the shelf it looks like it is still a full can of soda.

Kathy Lee - I was raised the same way. Mr. Forever will ask me if I have such and such in my mine. If the answer is yes, he will get it and give it to me to get it out. I do the same way about his wallet. A few years ago an elderly woman that we went to church with died. A few days after her funeral, we went by her house to see if we could help her children with anything. Her daughter told us that the hardest thing that she and her brothers had to do so far, had been cleaning out their mother's handbag. "Her and daddy always raised us to stay out of her handbag and daddy's wallet. She didn't have anything out of the ordinary in it. It was just the actual act of finally doing something that we had been raised to never do, that made it so hard."
I feel the same way patriciaanne. I would never just help myself to a drink or something to eat in someone's home. Even if they told me I could. If I want something, I will ask at that time. I don't think I even could just 'help' myself.

I have never fallen asleep during a sermon in Church. I'm the guy that listens to everything a preacher says and looks for inconsistencies or potential errors and then asks the preacher questions at the end. (someone slap me) I like to question things...I never blindly follow what the preacher says. Some people tell me "Frank, but the preacher said it...and he knows more than you...so he must be right.". Nope...this is how cults begin.
A couple of times I almost doze off during the singing, but not the sermon.

I never thought about it but my husband and I never go through each other's wallets and handbags. It just seems like such personal space. Also, would never help myself to someone's food either. That just seems so rude. Same rule goes for snooping. It is beyond me how some people will look in medicine cabinets!

When I was little. I'll go through my grandma's old handbags. The ones, she doesn't used often. I'll look through them, pretend, I was grown up lady.
Yesterday, I had mug root beer. Just doesn't taste the same, like it used to. Any time, I took a sip of soda. Taste like metal, each sip, that I drank.

That was off limits too! Except I think we called it a pocketbook.

We always called it a pocketbook, too -- so maybe it's a regional thing.... The paperback book brand name Pocket Books slowly changed us to using the word handbag, but I still don't always remember to do that !.... A purse was something small -- e.g., a change purse.... It really bothers me whenever I hear someone on tv call a handbag a purse !!

About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with "Barrett's Esophagus" and told to limit spicy foods, hot foods, acidic foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, etc.... three years later, I had it down to just a short segment of my throat, so am not as worried about it developing into cancer now.... A word to the wise -- you can get away with "abusing" your body for several years, but it usually comes back to haunt you !!
But how is Barrett getting along without his esophagus? Give it back to him!

Just remembered something from my childhood.... when I was about 5, we had living across the street from us a family named Nelson and they had a son about 13 who was named Dennis Barrett Nelson -- of course, I fell madly in love with him... somehow knowing his middle name and thinking I was very clever, I used to scream over, "Hey, Dennis Barrett Nelson, what's your name?"
Now, why did I do that? ... and why do I remember it so clearly?
