Commuting vs. Sanity

This morning I drove behind someone who had “I love DP – AKA Dr. Pepper” written on their rear windshield in white shoe polish. What a strange thing to have written on your car. I understand that Dr. Pepper is in the upper echelon of sodas, but I assumed that this was common knowledge. Dr. Pepper will continue to rule our faces each day with its intoxicating mix of prune juice & goat blood, whether or not someone’s car says so. On the other hand, I would have no idea if you were recently married or celebrating a milestone birthday or needed a honk to affirm your sexiness. These are the messages that cars need to display. The AKA was a nice touch, because I first assumed the driver of the car was a big fan of Delaware Punch.



When I’m sitting around the house ratifying important documents there’s nothing like an ice cold can of Delaware Punch. That cool and spunky Delawarian flavor made me think back on Mojo’s ill-fated soda company, GMS (Golden Monkey Shower) Inc. He wanted to roll out five flavors but investors balked when sales of his first soda, Menthol Blast, went nowhere. The remaining inventory was purchased by Kool and sold to elementary schools across the country.
