I first got hooked on Dr Pepper when I was almost 13, in 1971. We had moved from Illinois to Houston for a brief period. There was a 7-11 just around the corner from our house. We didn't have much money and I would return the empty glass bottles I had found between our house and the store, in order to have money to purchase a bottle of my newly found friend.
Oddly enough, I stopped drinking it as much when we returned to Illinois.

What a time. 13... summer... puppy love... 7-11 ... Slurpees and Dr Pepper.
Where have the years gone?
