Do you know how Dr. Pepper got its name?

[NGU]

The man who invented it wanted to marry this girl so he named the drink after her father, Dr. Pepper. So, do you think he got the girl?

8. My urologist is named Dr. Pecker.

OK. I made that up.

I *do* know of a proctologist named "Dr Pucker", though. I always thought that was funny.

10. I can't give up my Dr. Pepper

Carlyle Group or no. We live an hour or so away from Waco, the mother lode of Dr. Pepper.

Of course, there's also Dublin Dr. Pepper, bottled in Dublin, TX and made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar only; no corn syrups or sweeteners.

12. Dublin Dr. Peppers are the best

My best friend is in the Dublin service area and my future brother-in-law has to travel there for his job. They both get my fiance and me some a couple of times a year. Have you ever toured the Dublin factory? It is only a dollar and kind of neat.
