...spilled directly onto your lap. Cool, yes. Not entirely refreshing. Fairly sticky. Eww.
My only consolation is that this happened at home instead of at work. Here I'm able to clean up and change pants, and there's nobody to see the very embarrasingly positioned wet mark.

I hate it when I'm drinking a coke (or Dr Pepper) and I'm not paying attention and I end up pouring 1/3 of the can all over the front of my shirt.
I usually just chuckle and think, "well, it happens to all of us." I does, doesn't it?

You know, I was just noticing today that the latest batch of Diet Dr Pepper from a particular store in town is far more flavorful than usual. I think I can actually taste something like pepper in this stuff.
I'd better go buy them out before they get a new batch. Posts: 1681 | Registered: Jun 2004

Sounds like a drinking problem. It’s good that you can talk in a group about this. What are your feelings when this happens?

The Dr Pepper I got from the gas station at 13 and 366 this morning was the same as usual, so I don't know where this CTB stuff is coming from. Mmmm. Posts: 1681 | Registered: Jun 2004

I have a personal Murphy's law that says any day that I wear a white dress shirt to work, I will spill coffee or pop on it. Never fails.
I've spent many minutes in the bathroom washing out my top, drying it under the hand blow drier, and coming back to the desk witha slightly damp shirt...

I wonder if the other CTB's are having the same issue... I might have to check this out on my way home.

Someone just privately accused me of having a naughty double meaning in mind when I wrote my above post. I would like to assure you all that I meant nothing of the sort, and had to think about it for quite a while before I saw the potential entendre that was being referred to.
Not only was I genuinely not thinking that way, but he's my brother. Ewwwww! So anyone else who may have taken my message in any way other than perfectly straight-forward, I wish to inform you that YOU have a dirty mind. Yes, Enigmatic, you too.

Sounds fairly innocuous compared to spewing CocaCola through the nose all over the screen&keyboard cuz some mean ol' Hatracker has ambushed ya with a funny.

Hm, I dashed out of work before I read that, but I grabbed one at the Ctown CTB. I feel like it's missing some flavor, maybe they left it out in my batch (expires 8-22-05) and put the extra into yours?
Oh Dr. Pepper, how thee can entertain us

You know, yesterday I was thinking it tasted a little watered-down... not sure what date it had, though. Posts: 1681 | Registered: Jun 2004

I think we need to conduct a full Ithaca wide survey of Dr. Pepper and perhaps even nationwide, comparing the zestiness (or lack there of) of this drink of choice.

Yes, that was the little mental damage-control going through my head, event as the Dr Pepper puddle foamed up and soaked through my jeans: Shove the keyboard out of the way so the bit that did get on the desk didn't run that way. Though really, I could have used the excuse to buy a new keyboard at this point.
As for the dirty minds, "lap" was not my first choice of words to describe where the majority of the Dr Pepper landed. However, after typing the "sticky" bit it sounded especially naughty so I changed it.
Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper is like hummingbird food. In other words, pretty dang tasty. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper just has too many words to be taken seriously.
--Enigmatic (is flattered that the mention of Dr Pepper in his lap makes so many posters crave Dr Pepper.)

I would like to have you all know that Dr. Pepper is not really a doctor. He is a FRAUD! No medical degree, not podiatry, not dentistry, not optometry, or chiropractic! No Ph.D. I think that he was a minister, but that "Reverend Pepper" wasn't selling so well, so they "promoted" him to doctor.
Now Dr. Brown really was a real bona fide M.D., and Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda is the bestest soda in the world.
The AMA would want you to drink Dr. Brown's, not Dr. Pepper!

Yea Mr. Pibb never went to med school, or any other sort of school. I think he got a degree in acting though, too bad he never made it big time.
*scampers off to drink some real Dr. Pepper*

I spilled some gatorade on my laptop keyboard before . And then I tried to dry it with those keyboard cleaning liquid air cans. It was a good idea, but I tilted the bottle at a more than 45 degree angle, and liquid air spilled on my backspace and + keys, and they shrunk and shriveled. . Luckily, I still had my warranty.

Right on, Kiwi. Dr Pepper is supremely yucksome. We hates it!
If I were in the soda making business, I'd make licorice-flavored soda. Yum!
Of the currently available flavors of soda, my favorite is Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, followed by good old Coca Cola.

I tried the cherry vanilla, and it was like Dr. Pepper spiked with Robitussin. Feh!
I'd call my licorice soda "Ph.D. Black", and my slogan would be, "A higher degree of refreshment."
Perhaps I can pitch my idea to the Good 'n' Plenty people. I wonder if Choo Choo Charlie is still with that outfit?

But they are sooo Good. And you always get Plenty.
I'm wondering if a taste for black licorice in incompatable with a taste for Dr. Pepper. What do you think, guys?
