Dublin Dr Pepper: A source of great controversy right now. Brewed in Dublin, TX, its Dr Pepper made with imperial cane sugar. There was a major trademark lawsuit. Dublin is supposed to have only marketed the product in a 44 mile radius, and it wasn't. Not sure if that's on purpose or by other stores doing this. Lot of bad blood as a Texas icon is now gone. I'm not sure I honestly have all the details straight in my head or here. But, bottom line is, Dublin Dr Pepper has stopped production as of January, 2012. As you can imagine, Dublin Dr Pepper is getting rare. Kudos to Old 52, as they could raise prices as it gets rarer. Still $1.99. Its a very clean tasty Dr Pepper. Its like the true Dr Pepper instead of all the extra crap. I'll buy again, but know the supply is going to be gone soon. Just to give you an idea of how fair Old 52 is, look it up on ebay, its selling for $15 a bottle. Drawback: Needs a bottle opener to open them (most are twist off). Glass is very easy to break. Had I swallowed it, my last little mouthful would have had a glass sliver in it. Matched the part I had broken off when opening.
Saranac Shirley Temple: If you remember, Shirley Temples were what you ordered when you were a kid because you wanted to be like the grown ups and have a cocktail. I really expected this to be a sugary sweet only have once soda. It was not at all like that. And it does taste like the classic Shirley Temple, ginger ale and grenadine. Pleasant cherry smell, and just right mix of flavors, little ginger, little cherry and not syrupy sweet. Very easy to drink. Aftertaste is about the sane as the "drink". Very impressed. Will be buying again.
