Boycott.
Boooo
Double boo!
Sad, yes. Not surprising though. When your contract says you can't do "x" and you go ahead and do "x" anyway, you can expect to get schwacked.
That's one of the problems with the state of society these days; no wiggle room. No way in hell they were even making a dent in DP sales in DFW, Much less overall. You are right, of course, but why not just let a 120 year old tradition run its course. Is it really a big problem that the Internet brought them more customers?
Ill drink the replacement version if it tastes the same, but I'm still saddened by the casualties of progress sometimes.
My wife and I took a tour of that plant about 5 years ago, interesting see the old equipment they were using. It was a very low volume operation.
The "Heritage Dr Pepper" doesn't tast like Dublin at all.Quote:

It sounds like DPS made the Klosters an offer they couldn't refuse.
I'll be interested to see what the other soft drinks Dublin Bottling Works are going to be.
Some of you know what a big fan I am. For those who don't, I'll just say that one of my neighbors called me as soon as he heard the news on the six o'clock news.
Man that blows... I went to Dublin last year after stuffing my face full of brisket and ribs at Hard 8 in Stephenville. I really didn't need a Dublin DP float, but it sho' was good...
Dang.
We the tab triple digits and was the BBQ mediocre?Quote:

Limited time now means limited monthly production.
The last thing we need is you on caffeine.Quote:
