57. Cookin’ with Dr. Pepper
March 25, 2009
Each individual may come to a fork in the road whereby decisions are tough.
Two paths may present themselves, but only one is the glowing, laudable choice. A crucial detour down down a boorish road may significantly stain one’s future.
Now let us apply the above allusion to its source: Cooking with Dr. Pepper. Never was there such a sinister tine–a path of grimness and woe.
This path can be ambushed. It is not too late to detour from the Cooking with Dr. Pepper route. It may take longer to arrive at your culinary destination, but your life may be spared, and your friends, preserved. Bold, promising choices will lie ahead.
There is no boiled potato made reverent by a splash of carbonated glee. There is no pot roast refurbished from a marinade of caramel colouring and phosphoric acid.
The truth is that–bribes and subpoenas aside–one must occasionally make a choice between two important demoninators. Different factors may be weighed, some logical, some not. But Dr. Pepper should never be one of them. No weight should be assigned to this liquid grime.
Ultimately, meals should continue unabated by its flaws.

You have neglected to mention that the Dr Pepper itself contains real prune juice, redolent of painful bowel movements at hospices and care homes the world over. What better thing to add to the mix?
It doesn’t contain prune juice. Its just a widely circulated rumor. Check out snopes and/or the dr. pepper website.
I would be willing to bet that there are a lot of disgusting recipes with Dr. Pepper in them…but I’m also to believe that there are probably a couple good ones as well.
