I hate people who love Dr Pepper

Point of order: I love Dr Pepper. I also love people who love Dr Pepper. I completely believe my roomie Eric “Tex” Larkin when he says Dr Pepper outsells Coke where he’s from. So what’s with the title?

Actually, at the time of writing this, there were no Google hits for “I hate people who love Dr Pepper.” Unfortunately, there were six hits for “I hate Dr Pepper.” If I had to guess, at that time, how many hits I thought there would be, I would have answered “0.” But then I learned that one of my roomies did not like Dr Pepper, and sure enough he had only six friends in the world at that very moment. It blew my mind. I mean, saying that you don’t like Dr Pepper is different than saying, “I don’t like spinach.” I mean, obviously Dr Pepper is superior to spinach. However, saying that you don’t like Dr Pepper is like saying that you don’t like indoor plumbing. You don’t NEED it to live, but it makes life worth it.

“My mother says she thinks that Dr Pepper tastes like gym socks; I said when’s the last time you tasted those?” ~ Faith.
