A continuing calumny of the first degree!

And PSA: There is no period after "Dr"

My autocorrect adds the period unless I backspace. Dr Pepper (it worked) is not a cola and only hte "uneducated" claim it contains prune juice.

Correction: Dr Pepper tastes like carbonated prune juice.

Each to his own and you are allowed to be wrong. :D Will you be attending the annual running of the Gumps at Bryant Denny aka player autograph Saturday as a Bama fan or a jealous Vol fan?

Except in Texas:

Would have been quite normal in Sacramento too in the 60s-70s without the "y'all" or the Big Red.

No. Special sauce recipes are sacred and secret. Except that they contain mayonnaise..... And are mandatory on hamburgers. :)

Oh man, Big Red. That was good stuff. Don't think I've had that since like 1987

The Bama is by way of marriage. The Vol is in my blood. I have no reason to step foot in Tuscaloosa.

At least you know who comes first LOL

Dr Pepper is a carbonated drink but not a cola since it does not a cola extract flavoring (kola nuts) like Pepsi-Cola and Coca Cola.

In Texas especially east Texas, every carbonated drink is a "coke" even 7-UP and Sprint.

This is also true in parts of the southern US. I had a friend in college from Kentucky who would ask what kind of Cokes they had at restaurants.

Yes, except in eastern North Carolina where Pepsi was invented. There, you better be asking for a Pepsuhculla.

No American Cheese on any sandwiches. It can work well on the occasional burger but it's awful as a sandwich cheese.

If there's a choice between spicy and very spicy, choose both.

1. My hash browns have to be CRUNCHY. Not crispy, not "lightly golden," but "your cook will think they're burnt and I'll think they're perfect" crunchy.

2. Keep the %$&* salt off my @#$% caramel!

3. M&M's must be lined up by color in a bar-graph before consumption.

4. There is a proper order of condiments/ingredients on a sandwich or burger. It is, from top to bottom:

• Bun top
• mayonnaise
• tomato
• any other vegetables
• lettuce
• cheese
• meat
• pickles
• ketchup
• mustard
• bun heel

In this way, the mayo and tomato combine to a runny deliciousness, which is protected by the lettuce. Same lettuce protects the cheese from being soggied by the deliciousness. The meat is then central AND able to melt the cheese if it's a hot sandwich, and below the meat, the tangy ingredients combine into a ketchup/mustard/pickle tang-tastic mess. And the deliciousness is separated from the tang-tastic mess by the meat. This is sandwich/burger perfection, people.

I could ask the same question of most Americans, but why how can you taste anything but condiments with that much on the burger?
