So perhaps youve heard about the Dr. Pepper scarcity thats the new toilet paper shortage. Life used to be easier: water, pop, iced tea, lemonade, coffee, hot tea. I love Dr. Pepper. Raised on Tang, Ive now become a refreshment nomad wandering the desert in search of a taste oasis. Right now Im gonna go check the vending area to see if theres any Dr. Pepper to be had.
