These big soft drink tyrants have kept Dr Pepper drinkers quiet for too long! I say "Up with Dr Pepper! Down with the repression of the masses by the vast Coke Conspiracy!"

But unlike you, I take this to the logical next step and apply it to ALL soft drinks. Our right to drink pop should be all-inclusive, not limited to one narrow point of view.

Soft drinks of ALL types are evil and need to be removed from our culture before they harm our children further. The cavities, hyper-activity, and stomach damage are not limited to children, either-- These symptoms of soft drink consumption can appear in adults as well.

Nope. Grishny is PE #1, that would make you PE #2. ;-)

Of course, I may be partial to Dr Pepper because it comes from Texas.
