Katiegirl, that ad brings memories of the time one couldn't get Dr. Pepper in New York. I remember drinking it in the early 60s when they ran the B.C. ads (before Johnny Hart became a Christian evangelizer) and they suggested you should have "the Doctor" at 10 - 2 - 4. But by 1967 it was gone. I remember because it was a big deal I could buy it at Expo 67. Eventually Cadbury or someone bought it and got national distribution. Also interesting that the tag line included "I like it" because back then 7-up's tag line was "You like it, it likes you" which is why their first attempt at diet soda was called "Like."
Eric, excellent point and this is why I rarely watch two of the "L & O" franchises, sticking with "Criminal Intent" because at least the acting is top notch.
You know, Dr. Pepper has always been available here, but NeHi could only be purchased in a few stores here, when I was a lad.
Diet Dr. Pepper is one of my reasons for living. That and your blog....; )
