Dr. Pepper

OK, I've gone back to find out that "Dr. Pepper is the oldest soft drink in America." There are also games, giveaways, and screen savers to boot. Boy, have I been missing out!

And I am one of the 31% that considers myself a "gargantun guzzler." Here's another amazing use of technology: I can listen to the following sounds via the DP web site:

Open Can
Pour
Pour in Glass
Sip
Slurp


I can even buy DP merchandise! This link takes me to the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco. I still haven't made a pilgrimage there despite having lived in Denton for two years (blame it on grad school!)

Since I've also been drinking too much Pepsi (I didn't when I was younger since of course I couldn't like what my mother liked!). OK, it makes the sound WITHOUT my asking - including the ice in a glass. Hey, there's an article here - comparing the "positioning" of sounds on soft drink web sites. We did take a survey in Jeff Veen's session at sxsw about what we call pop and he linked it to the GIS survey that keeps track of that (sorry, that link escapes me at the moment).

Oh, it appears that "The Super Bowl would not be the same" without a Pepsi ad.

Just finished watching the Sopranos - seems to be going down hill a bit but maybe will get a bit better. tony seems to be losing out. Am also checking out Deadwood despite the graphic violence warnings. I have to close my eyes sometimes during The Sopranos - I could do just the same with Deadwood. I like the "mining town" aspect of it. I will have to say the music is really good. The real treat, however, will be when Six Feet Under comes back on June.
