> but isn't dr pepper made by the coke company? b/c the fire station soda machine has coke and diet coke and mountain dew and dr pepper and orange slice and root beer.... no sprite though

Then that's just weird, then, because Mountain Dew is Pepsi's. What kind of Root Beer have you got? A&W is Coke's, and I think Mug is Pepsi's, but I could be wrong about that one. If I'm right, it would be a big surprise. Sprite is about the only thing Coke ever gets right.
