For Dr. Pepper drinkers out there, beware, the Cheesecake Factory
doesn't serve Dr. Pepper! In fact, the last time we were there and I kindly asked for it, our waitress pulled an attitude when she said, "No, we don't have Dr. Pepper." I then kindly asked for regular Coke (which they do serve) and she gave me diet Coke! I don't really know what her problem was but it was a bit uncomfortable for the rest of the meal. Fortunately, we didn't have any issues for the rest of our visit. So when you go the Cheesecake Factory, don't ask for Dr. Pepper! |

I seriously doubt your waitress or the manager will care. |

A couple years ago I was taking a tour of the Dr. Pepper bottling plant, and they had no Cheesecake Factory cheesecake available! |

That should help service your addiction. I don't know what you're problem is but the world doesn't revolve around you - your wishes, your desires, your lusts, your cravings. Here on planet earth, there's a whole world of people with different likes and dislikes and preferences and tastes. So get over your attitude, turn off your computer, get off your butt and make yourself useful to somebody. |

Perhaps because Cheesecake Factory cheesecake isn't as mainstream as Dr. Pepper. |

Mr. Pibb is a Coca-Cola brand not Dr. Pepper See http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/b...brandlist.html And did you look on that same list for the three versions of Dr. Pepper? Duh. -sw Uhm, no Dr. Pepper is not a Coke Brand but they are licensed to bottle and sell Dr. Pepper in some parts of the world. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Pepper [edit] Distribution In the United States, Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) does not have a complete network of bottlers and distributors, so the drink is sometimes bottled under contract by Coca-Cola or Pepsi bottlers. Prior to the initial Cadbury Schweppes investment-turned-buyout, 30% of Dr Pepper/Seven Up products were produced and distributed by Pepsi bottlers, and another 30% by Coca-Cola bottlers. The remaining 40% was produced and distributed by independent bottlers (mainly consisting of pre-Dr Pepper/Seven Up-merger regional bottlers) and the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group. Presently, Dr Pepper is mostly reliant on the Cadbury Schweppes Bottling Group (known as Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group until June, 2006) to bottle and distribute its products in 30+ states. Coca-Cola and Pepsi have essentially stopped bottling and distributing CSAB products in favor of in-house alternatives, although regional exceptions can be found. It is notable that Pepsi bottlers have been dropping Dr Pepper without an equivalent replacement. Previously a Pepsi bottler without a Dr Pepper franchise would typically bottle Dr. Wells, and Coke bottlers would make Mr. Pibb. In Canada and Poland, Cadbury-Schweppes has licensed distribution rights to PepsiCo. In Mexico, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, Slovakia, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Norway, Cadbury-Schweppes owns the trademark and distributes the product. In Spain, Turkey, and Greece it is almost impossible to find as it is usually imported from the United Kingdom in particular supermarkets. In almost all of the other countries of the world, The Coca-Cola Company purchased the trademark from Cadbury-Schweppes and distributes the product. This mixed worldwide ownership of the trademark is due to antitrust regulations which prevented Coca-Cola from purchasing the rights everywhere. Dr Pepper is also available in Japan and South Korea. Although not locally bottled in New Zealand any more, imported cans of Dr Pepper are often found in independent convenience stores (dairies). |
