I bought a bottle of dr pepper today at lunch and threw it in the freezer of the lunchroom refridgerator at work to get good and cold..... it's 90 degrees out... dr pepper NEEDS to be iced cold!

That was about 6 hours ago.....:rolleyes:

I'm home now... and the editor that I told to remind me after 15 minutes just called my afterhours emergency number laughing his ass off because he just remembered...

This could get ugly.....:-3

Dr Pepper is the only soda i will drink too! i'm addicted to the stuff! and yeah it needs to be really cold! but it must have been the freezer, because that thing should have exploded! my mom used to freeze my drinks to put in my lunch for school and they would freeze and explode very easily!

I was never what would be described, not even by someone sympathetic, as a cool kid. I occasionally drank Dandelion And Burdock when it was unusually hot out. Over 70 degrees. We get around 40 days a year like that.

I love Dr. Pepper! I haven't been able to find it here where I live

Here's a notion you may want to jot down... it's not the heat, it's the humidity...

We don't do humidity, not in England. We occasionally creep as high as 50% from as low as 30% unless it happens to be raining. There's an artificial forest environment ten minutes from here which is kept at 86 degrees, 73% humidity for the butterflies. I stand in there for as much as a half hour at a time on occasion, trying to photograph them. It's completely foreign, I'd emigrate if it ever got like that outdoors. It causes perspiration.
