> As for the ad campaign of 10-2-4, I do know the origins of that. The CEO of Dr Pepper in the late 1930's saw a
scientific study that said the human body's energy levels were at their lowest at 10:30, 2:30, and 4:30. The ad
campaign was designed not to promote being regular, but to encourage people to have a DP at 10, 2, and 4 in order
to keep their energy levels up.

That's right, I remember buying the bottles (back when they were green glass and back when there was a period in
the drink's name, ya young whippersnapper!) and saw the 10 2 4 thing. However, I've always felt that Dr Pepper
was more of an afternoon drink than a morning drink (I usually have a Coke with breakfast -- I hate coffee and hot
drinks).
