I got the nicest surprise in the supermarket today. I have heard about Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke from all you Americans for years and years (on tv before there were blogs). We got Dr Pepper here about 15 years ago (or around about that) but it didn't last long. I don't think many people liked it that much. So today I was in the supermarket and I looked over at a fridge that I never look at and I saw Dr Pepper! I was really surprised that you could still actually buy it here. Then I looked next to it and there was Cherry Coke! I've never seen one in real life before! So of course I bought it. At $2.70 per 350ml can it was a bit pricier than what I usually would pay. (I usually pay about $2 for a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi). I took it home and poured out some for me and the kids. And it was quite nice! Of course the kids loved it. But I don't give them soft drink very often so they would love anything with bubbles. It was unusual tasting but I could definitely get used to it. Of course I am supposed to be weaning myself off of Pepsi and onto water....not onto Cherry Coke. But it will be nice for special occasions.....Friday, October 16, 2009
Finally!

ReplyDelete(Oh..and you absolutely crack me up with your comments! Love, love, love them! Love, love, love YOU!)
Hope you have a fabulous day today! And, have a great weekend!!!
Yum! Cherry coke my favorite. I didn't realize it was such a rare commodity there.
ReplyDeleteI really like Dr Pepper every so often but YUM Cherry Cola and I haven't seen it in New Zealand yet!
ReplyDeleteWow, i can't believe you don't have a lot of Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke there! We're drowning in different kinds of soda over here. LOL. I'm glad you enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteMMmmmmm...cherry coke is good. Cherry 7-up is good too. I can't believe you don't have Dr. Pepper there!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had cherry coke in years. I boycott anything made by the CocaCola company because of their unethical practices, they own Minute Maid and I avoid them, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't drink sodas at all actually. I wasn't brought up on them and I don't like drinking sugar water. It just doesn't taste good. Not to mention it's why so many people are overweight and/or have diabetes. It's really unhealthy. It's just as bad as kool-aid, hi-c, hawaiian punch, and all those faux juice drinks. Enough tangent.
