Heaven on Earth

Otherwise known as Dublin, TX-home of Dublin Dr Pepper. For my non-Texan blog fans, Dr Pepper is the most perfect beverage on the planet. We took a tour of the Dublin Dr Pepper plant and I learned a lot.

Dr Pepper originated in Waco, TX (where Mommy and Daddy met and where Mommy went to law school). In the 1970's the price of sugar rose to an all time high and many beverage companies switched from pure cane sugar to corn syrup, but the Dublin Dr Pepper plant refused to change its recipe. To this day Dublin Dr Peppers are made with Imperial sugar and they are fantastic (or so I've heard. Mommy won't let me have any ...yet)

Here are some pictures from our tour:














Mommy took full advantage of the fact that we were at the only place on the planet where she could get a fountain Dublin Dr Pepper. Mmmmm tasty! ~Miles

This reminds me of last year when my hubby and I did the Guiness tour in Ireland! Too bad I was pregnant at the time!! My old co-worker was addicted to Dr.Pepper, but I can't drink it as it has caffine in it (pout!). Looks like you all had a great time!

Sounds like a fun time. Did you try and sneak a sip of the Dr. Pepper?

What a Pepper! Did Mommy and Daddy let you have a sip? (I wouldn't either- so don't be mad.) You're too cute!!
