I don't know. This story really doesn't surprise me very
much.
Everybody doesn't surprise my wife at all because we live
here,
though, that's true. But still,
come on. This beloved Texas drink,
Doctor Pepper, it's now tied with Pepsi for second place
in the cola wars.
The two companies matched in sales volume.
This is all according to Beverage Digest.
Pepsi, I guess, has held the number two spot for
40 years.
Coke was ranked number one.
Doctor Pepper, of course, created back in in Waco back
in 1885.
I have pharmacist, so it's healthy.
Good for you. Sure, right,
sure. 10, two and four.
That's right. There you go.
Over the past 20 years,
the drink has steadily climbed in population.
So when I lived in Boston,
like granted, this was like 15 years ago,
you would ask for a doctor Pepper and they'd be
like,
what?
Is kind of Mr. Pibb yes,
yes so I mean I did not like Mr.
Pip. It is getting I now I think it's more
widely nationwide and so.
Therefore, of course, and more people are buying Doctor Pepper.
But of course, we like it.
Well, there's the pool right there.
We've been asking you all morning,
what's your favorite soda? Coke,
Doctor Pepper, Pepsi, some other brand,
and those are the results.
Doctor Pepper. I vote for Doctor Pepper.
Fans is good. I remember that as a kid.
My kids go to the like though they're they'll go
to like where you get the drinks and they do
like they do the mixture.
Yeah, that's like the mixture.
That's the that's no, that's cool right now.
I did that. I did that too.
Yeah. I so I never touched their drinks.
They know that mom won't touch it now that's probably
why they yeah,
but that's what that's kind of what's going on in
your if you've looked at Doctor Pepper,
they have Doctor Pepper and everything strawberry.
Coconut. They just added coconut,
Raspberry, She said her kids like Sprite.
If you take Sprite and you add just a little
splash of orange juice,
it's good.
No tequila. All right, so we're talking about the summer.
Travel season. I thought this was interesting because airline pilots
were talking about the best place to sit on a
plane right now in case there's turbulence.
There's a pilot who's pretty popular on TikTok said that
sitting in the front is the best because it's less
turbulence.
Sure. It's also the most expensive part of the plan.
An American Airlines pilots that actually it's really good to
sit near the wings because the wings are are more
closely located to the center of gravity.
So I went closer to the exits.
Yeah, we went to New York.
That's true. That's true. We went to New York over
the Memorial Day weekend and came back and ours were
on the plane.
Wings, they're parallel to it and and definitely the smoothest
spot.
If you want the wild and wacky,
definitely get it on the back.
I mean, it's it's definitely bounces a little bit.
Close to the men's room.
Extra ride. It's my age,
yes.
