That's why you can get it at Coke fountains and it's why Mr. Pibb is nowhere to be found.IIRC, you can get Mr. Pibb at Johnny Rockets, even in NYC. |

That may be the standard bottle top they use for non-Coca-Cola and or Sprite (since they use red [for Coca-Cola-based names] and blue caps [for Sprite] for some reasons). |

(Normally, although this may have changed, I am used to seeing Dr. Pepper as being marketed as a Pepsi brand. Brian (C.) may correct me if I am wrong here, but since my school switched to Coca-Cola in 2004, Dr. Pepper is no longer available as it was when Pepsi was the vendor.) |

Speaking of fast food joints, I am not sure if anyone has noticed it, but what is it with Jack in the Box commercials up here when the nearest one is almost 600 miles away? (Similarly, what's the deal with Sonic?)At least there are no In and Out ads, although we could use some here in NYC! |

My mother made me go to their website in hopes of finding a local outlet, only to find that there are none. I've never seen a JITBX or In-n-Out commercial outside of the baseball games offered on my cable's "Extra Innings" package. Those are only regional ads on various RSN's like FSN Prime Ticket or Comcast Sportsnet. Why Sonic advertises in the tri-state area is a mystery. Perhaps they're laying the groundwork for potential franchises in the future. |

I went to a couple of Denny's when I went down to Florida and loved it.There's got to be literally hundreds of Denny's in Florida. Speaking of Denny's, that's another thing we don't have up here. They are basically everywhere I have been, but never seen them here, I wonder why, perhaps because we have so many diners in the NY Metro area? |

It's funny that you should ask now, because I just happen to be enjoying an ice cream soda with vanilla ice cream and Dr Brown's Cream Soda (thanks to you), as I write this.It's close but I think the 1 liter bottle might just be a little better. |

I don't recall having any complaints from that visit.As you know, my favorite eatery in York is that Old Country Buffet, about a half-mile east of Denny's. Since I don't get to York that often, OCB is where I always go now. |
