Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Yeah, it's real hard living with us conservatives here in North Texas also. After all, strong work ethic, personal responsibility, fair taxes, property rights, originalist constitutional outlook, defending the innocent, family values, respect for authority, independent thought, tolerance for people who don't have the same beliefs/values as we do . . . must be a real downer to be around people like us for any length of time.

Quoted from Zitt:

IN TX; Dr Pepper is it's own food group. Started in Waco.
DO NOT come to TX and expect to order DP as Coke. You must specify it by name.
You'll probably be run out of the state if you ask for Mr Pibb.
I have several friends who only drink DP... while, I myself boycott DP because of the way Snapple treated the original bottler - Dublin Dr Pepper. https://www.bevnet.com/news/2012/dublin-dr-pepper-fans-start-dps-boycott/

Quoted from ralphwiggum:

Nope, the proper response is “Just a Coke”

Quoted from nwpinball:

Dr. Pepper is terrible, I didn't realize it had so many fans! I wonder if it's like cilantro, where it tastes good to part of the population, but to some people it tastes like soap.
