Dr. Pepper, Texas
Since we had to go and drive to get my stepbrother from Abilene, my mother
wanted to make a side trip to Dublin, TX just to pick up a whole lot of Dublin Dr. Pepper just for my brother because he's a Dr. Pepper nut and its' (supposedly) cheaper to buy there. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest Dr. Pepper fan, but even I think the original formula ( made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar) tastes better than the current one (made with artificial sweeteners), so I can see why she does this all the time for him (She has yet to get me chocolate from Hershey, PA).
Since it was my first visit down there, we stopped by the Dr. Pepper Bottling Factory/Museum. If you happen to be a big fan of this drink, this place is your shrine. They had all kinds of unique things there like Dr. Pepper Beef Jerky. We took the tour, saw the factory and the historical memorabilia, and even got a free Dr. Pepper. After that we just went looking around the quaint little town before heading out. Needless to say I took a bunch of pictures of that day but I just put a few of them in this post. If you care to see the rest of the photographs, you can do so by clicking here.
