What a great site...although you cannot currently order Dr Pepper On-Line...

"Dublin Dr Pepper is in the process of re-vamping our website. Many items recently on display -including our 8 oz glass bottles and 12 oz cans- are unavailable for internet purchase. PLEASE CALL US AT OLD DOC'S SODA SHOP 888-398-1024 FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN GET THESE ITEMS.

We sincerely apologize for any and all inconvenience."

Do you know how expensive the bottles are?

Also note "Dublin Dr Pepper invites all our friends, family, and even Greek mythology buffs to our Big Fun GREEK Birthday!! It will be our 120th Birthday Celebration and it’s on Saturday, June 11, 2011."

We bought two cases and it was around $75.00. The actual price per case wasn't any worse than a case of beer but the got you with the shipping. If I remember correctly we payed more for basic shipping then we did for the product itself.

From this week's Dublin Citizen :

110 YEARS AGO
Mar. 31, 1911
Miss Mary E. Cole died as a result of a runaway horse attached to the buggy
she was riding. Miss Cole was thrown out of the buggy near Dublin National Bank
and hit her head on the railroad tracks.
The fifth Sunday meet of the Erath County Baptist Association was planned
for April 30 in Bluff. Rev. M. T. Tucker, J. L. Gilbreath, and R. A. Brite of Dublin,
appeared on the published program.
An enrollment report was given for the Dublin school and showed an increase
of 43 students over the previous year. Students making 100 on deportment
included: Eva Welch, Lilla Jordan, Ida Trigg, John Keith, Orah Tatum, Preston
Lafferty, Willie Alexander, Helena Brock, Ross Evans, Ruth Fuqua, Cora Graham,
Flora Harris, Pearl Harris, Lorene Jones, Wortham Lacy, Opal McCleskey,
Ira Robinson, Mollie Spencer, Leona Reed, Nettie Higgins, Bertha Frazier, Roy Pair,
Mack Welch, Joe McCleskey, and Ulmer Cole.

Not at all !

The referenced Dr. Pepper Bottling Plant which produces the beverage employing Imperial Sugar is located in Dublin, TX. eweimer indicated shipping was expensive; alanleroy stated the sugared indulgence was no longer available online. So poor old DonDiego did a little research to see if a trip to Dublin, TX might be enjoyable. He suspects, . . . pr'bly not.

Nonetheless, he found the news from 110 years ago, interesting.
