I may be thinking "western south". Texas is the stronghold of Dr. Pepper, and I kind of assumed that would extend to adjacent states. You're probably right that the eastern south may skew more toward coke, but I haven't been there enough to notice.

I think the answer lies in the fact that restaurants usually have a distributor for their soft drinks from a certain company and usually that's either Coke or Pepsi. Most places I have been to will give you the closest to dr. pepper if you ask for dr. pepper.

I thought it was a big mistake to name it "Mr." when it was taking on a competitor with an advanced degree, "Dr." They should've gone with either "Professor Pibb" to compete intellectually or perhaps gone with a royal moniker to imply social superiority, such as "Viscount Pibb" or "Duchess Pibb". They voluntarily yielded the high ground to Dr. Pepper.

I honestly think its by demand. The bar I work in doesn't have Dr. P or root beer but the restaurant does. I remember the restaurant not having it for a year and came back with it after so many requests. I could ask.

Ooh, ask them, please. And ask about the whole contract thing and whether it's different to add Pepper/Pibb. Thanks in advance.

Ooh, that's good. The majesty part appeals to the aspiring upper classes while the friendly misspelling appeals to the mass market. If they had gone with that, the whole world would be drinking it right now and this thread would never have existed.

What is it with diet Mt Dew? I mostly drink diet sodas, but if I want a Mt Dew it has to be regular. Possibly the worst diet soda ever.
