I have this thing about collecting imitation Dr Pepper wherever I go

This one is quite good. I served 24 of them at a party once, along two 12-packs of Pepsi. These were gone at the end, but I had several Pepsi’s left over.

Take that, PepsiCo.

Dr. Slice

Store: DFW International Airport
Location: Dallas, TX
Packaging: can

Commentary:

I obtained this beverage while running through DFW airport on the way to see the NC State vs. Texas football game in August of 1999. It proved to be a good luck charm; our Wolfpack walked all over the heavily-favored Longhorns that evening.

(Even though Mack Brown’s no longer at Carolina, it still rocks to see him lose!)

Dr. Wells

I got this one when I was at the 1998 Women’s Final Four NCAA basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. That was a great trip.

Dr. Up

Collection date: Sun, 2000-12-31 20:00
Store: Sam's Club
Location: Raleigh, NC
Packaging: can

Commentary:

This beverage is no longer available. That’s too bad, because it tasted pretty good. Plus, you could buy a pallet at a time!

In the spring of 1998, I hosted a party for the trombone section of the NC State Marching Band. I bought a couple cases of Dr. Up, and a couple of cases of Pepsi. At the end of the party, all the Dr. Up were gone, but I still had about half of the Pepsis. Go figure.
