Another legend is about the naming of Dr. Pepper.
I read somewhere that a grocery clerk at a mom&pop
joint. He liked the bosses daughter, and when his
boss, Dr. Pepper, found out, he fired the kid. He
still loved the girl and when he came up with the
formula for his soft drink he named it after Dr P
in the hopes that he would lighten up and let the
two get married. The legend goes that Dr. Pepper
was dead at the time, though.

And by the way, PEPSI IS BETTER THAN ALL, except
for Fruitopia. I mean, who can't like the name?
