Excellent. Congrats boss!

Hey, you Dr Pepper afficionados, do you like Mr Pibb as well?

I am far from a Dr. Pepper aficionado. IMHO, It is bottom rung as far as beverage choices go. But Pibb has no credentialls. Pepper is a Doctor.

If I took a blind taste test, I couldn't tell the difference between Dr Pepper and Mr Pibb.

That's probably because I'm not a regular consumer of either of those two sodas...they both have that same "perfumy" taste to me. Not to say they are bad, just not a frequent drinker of them.

But I could easily tell from Coke and Pepsi, that's because I'm a Coke diehard, its taste is second nature to me.

BTW, my everyday soda drink is Coke Cherry Zero.

I have pretty sensitive taste buds so all sodas taste wildly different to me (except generic colas... No matter where you go they all taste the same). Pepsi... Too sweet. Coke... Too harsh. Dr. Pepper... Just right. ;-)

IMO Fountain sodas taste the best. Fountain coke tastes better than canned or bottled to me.

[Gorn Captain]

Never had a Dr. Pepper. Doesn't exist here...

[palitoy]

I don't drink soda anymore but the sight of these things unlocks happy memories for me. Its a terrific acore and one I would have grabbed without much thought. I also was a fan of the good Doctor and his friend MR. Pibb.

She's nice and cool. Looks like I'm the proud owner of an old soda machine.

Congrats! I look forward to seeing it in your home with Dr. Pepper in it.

I like Mr. Pibb, though I've not had any in a number of years. The last time that I checked, it was only available as a fountain drink.

Got it home today and spent a couple hours cleaning the barn dirt out of it. I think it needs a good refrigerant charge. Plus I think I may have nicked a wire. It's developed a short somewhere.

Not perfect, but I still dig it.

living in the garage until I get it fixed up (good thing we didn't install those cabinets 1" lower last month)...

[Hector]

It looks way better at your house, it's a beauty, and what a steal, well done.

Not the biggest fan of fountain sodas, nothing but watered down sodas. But I do drink it at the movie theater and fast food joints, no choice, lol.

You hit it on the Pepsi, too sweet, and you are right about Coke, it's heavily carbonated, it is harsh, you get that real good kick in your mouth, that's why I love Coke, lol.

I do like Dr Pepper, I do have it once in a while, but I don't like it with food, just as a stand alone drink.

Coke rules with rum, and my favorite soda with tequila is Squirt, Mexicans go crazy over Squirt, lol.

[Donkey Hoatie]

What a great piece. I'm definitely a Pepper and would love to have something like this in my garage one day. Also considering a Coke one, along with some Fanta buttons. Some day. Some day.

[EmergencyIan]

Hey, it looks really good in your garage.

That looks great! And glad to hear you didn't think twice about the $100.

This thread actually got me started looking also. Found a Coke one on CL for $250...the guy said it works perfect he's just tired of it. Now trying to convince my wife.
