I've heard Doctor Pepper described as "carbonated prune juice".
That's a new one to me.... :)
To me Dr Pepper tastes like cough medicine.
Around here, Arby's been Coke products as far back as I remember....
I guess it all depends on the franchisee.
For years Marshall only sold Pepsi products, then Pepsi lost the
contract and Coke took over.
People would boo and hiss others drinking the "wrong" product, how bad
it was, etc.
Then the other company got the contract and suddenly it was good and
the old one was bad. :)
Also, since it's Lent now, most fast food places that normally
don't have fish sandwiches, are serving them...to pick up the
Catholic customers.
Or to keep them... :)
The way I heard it, a franchisee noticed the drop in customers on
Fridays' and started selling fish, during Lent, and business picked back
up. Eventually corporate saw the steady base and agreed to sell fish
company wide year round, not just during Lent. But fish is heavily
advertised during Lent.
