| do any of you ever decide not to sleep, soley based off culminating things you find on the computer? Past 2 nights, I planned on sleeping at midnight, then went on Digg.com and didn't end up sleeping until 3am. Now it's 12:20am and I just happened to pick the most wonderful time to work FLStudio |

Yes, sometimes I plan to go to sleep at a certain time but get distracted on another website like youtube or TA and end up going to sleep at 4-6am :crazy: |

| And so...we're back again, staring blankly at these dark gray and black rectangles that make up so much of our free time. I'm just chillin' watching a documentary on Deep House and will probably go read Gone with the Wind for an hour or two. I also want a Dr. Pepper... |

I will tell you a fun yet useless fact about how Dr. Pepper got its name. It was a man who worked at a soda fountain in a drug store. He worked for a man named Dr. Pepper, and he so happened to fall in love with his daughter. But the old man would not allow a low paid worker like him to go out with her, so he fired the man. However, the man, during his time there, had played around with the different syrups in the soda fountain, and had created a new flavor. When he was fired, he took his new flavor elsewhere, and decided to call it Dr. Pepper to spite the old man. It made the low paid worker millions of dollars, even though he never got to marry the girl.
Wikipedia backs up my claim...somewhat
| quote: | | A popular belief is that the drink was named after Morrison's former employer in Texas, but this has been disputed by the Dr Pepper company itself. They state that before moving to Texas, Morrison lived in Wythe County, Virginia near a Dr. Charles T. Pepper, and may have been close to Pepper's daughter at the time. The name is also reinforced by being an obvious play on "pep", i.e. providing quick energy to its consumer. |
So, I guess some good things can come out of broken love. |

| quote: | Dr Pepper and high fructose corn syrup
Much of the soft drink industry in the United States stopped using sugar in the 1980s, in response to a series of price supports and import quotas introduced beginning in 1982 that increased the price of sugar above the global market price. As a result, most U.S. soft drinks, including Dr Pepper, now use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar.
A handful of U.S. bottling plants still use sugar to sweeten Dr Pepper. Perhaps best known is the Dr Pepper bottling plant in Dublin, Texas, the product of which is known as Dublin Dr Pepper. In the 1980s, plant owner Bill Kloster (1918 – 1999) refused to convert the plant to high fructose corn syrup. Since 2003, Dublin Dr Pepper has expanded its distribution to most of Texas and the Internet. Other bottlers still using sugar include Temple Bottling Company, in Temple, Texas, Ab-Tex in Abilene, and West Jefferson Dr Pepper (WJDP) of West Jefferson, NC.
On March 25, 2007, Coca-Cola bottlers in the Dr Pepper Heartland commenced sales of 16 ounce cans of Dr Pepper made with cane sugar and featuring a logo with 'Old Doc' himself on them. This product is scheduled to be a limited time release. |
So...if my Dr. Pepper is bottled in Texas, it is bound to be sweetened by sugar. And if it's bought anywhere else, it's sweetened by high fructose corn syrup? Well...that's interesting.
Ok this. I'm getting a Dr. Pepper now. |
