What is your favorite soda pop?

Everyone that said something other than Dr. Pepper needs to get the banhammer. This is a TEXAS forum, not yankee-land.

I don't remember 5¢, but I remember 6¢ at the gas station. That must have been circa 1959.

The five-cent machines were on Ft. Jackson in the mid-late '60s.

I remember the first 20-cent machine I ever saw was outside "South of the Border" on the North Carolina/South Carolina line. I actually walked up to that machine with only a dime! I couldn't even imagine a bottle drink could cost any more than that!!!

You make it sound like DP is a yankee thing. It originated up north - according to Austinites, but it came from down south according to Dallasites.

Pretty sure he said everything that wasn't Dr Pepper is a yankee thing.

When I used to drink soda, Dr. Pepper. Soda is for kids, its loaded with sugar and is terrible for you. I kicked the habit long ago. My wife insisted I try one of the sodas from the fountain area at the local BBQ area in Belton, one sip and I almost gagged, all this time without something that extreme in sugar makes me hate the stuff.

Gonna die of something, might as well enjoy the time you have...with an ice cold Dr Pepper.

I gave up cigarettes for $400 a month I can spend on other habits. Like Dr Pepper.

I'll never want to know what's going on in that cloud of vapor again.

My favorite coke is Coca-Cola.

(We don't typically refer to soft drinks as "pop" in Texas.")

The Coca Cola HQ is in Atlanta. Not so much yankee-land.

This. Exactly.

I don't drink pop very often, usually root beer and where I got it probably doesn't give you a choice on root beer. Now as far as cola goes, I can care less, but if there is a choice I would pick Pepsi over Coke ..... screw ya.

Gotta admit, when I first came to Texas in 1992, folks corrected me that all carbonated soda drinks were called "Coke." After the initial "You wanna a Coke?" was offered, the reply may specify Dr Pepper or 7 Up.

When I moved up to Ohio in 2000, I had a helluva time at restaurants:

Me: "What kinda cokes y'all got?"
Waitress: (looking at me funny) "We have Diet and Regular"
Me: "Y'all don't have any Dr. Pepper?"
Waitress: "Oh course we do, but you asked what kind of Coke we have"
Me: "Nevermind, I'll just have a tea"
Waitress: "You want sugar and milk with that?"
Me: "Huh?"
Waitress: "Oh! You meant iced tea!"
Me: (sobbing silently to myself while humming "I wanna go home with the armadillo...")

Thank God I've been home since 2010!
