Soda: Texas Loses Dublin Dr Pepper

Well, if Dr Pepper Snapple keeps up this pace, America wont have any good "pop" anymore either.

Soda: Texas Loses Dublin Dr Pepper

It's a heartbreaking loss, and a huge blow to Texans and fans of the coke (yeah, I'm from Texas -- they're all cokes). For a company to destroy such a huge part of its own history and customer base is absolutely baffling to me. Part of the charm of Dublin Dr Pepper was not only its delicious taste and nostalgic packaging, but it was also how difficult it was to come by. It made you treasure each bottle that you drank. It was one of many unique and rare delights that make us proud to be Texans. The world will be a little sadder place without the treat of a bottle of Dublin Dr Pepper to look forward to every now and then.

Pasta and Beef 'Goulash'

I'll add another vote for calling this Goulash. It's just American Goulash, not Hungarian. I grew up in Texas and heard it referred to as such frequently. I never knew what American Chop Suey was, and I've never heard of Johnny Marzetti. It's kind of neat that the same dish has so many different names.
