28 Jun 2007 Finding Dr. Pepper
 |  Category: Study Abroad - China  | Tags: , ,

Dr. PepperA whole thirty days without Dr. Pepper.

Our selection at most of the restaurants and shops for the China trip was Wahaha water, Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, 7-Up, and Fanta.   No Dr. Pepper.  None.

Apparently, it’s a southern U.S. beverage.  Some parts of the United States simply do not have Dr. Pepper as a choice.  Some say it’s too sweet.  My sister says it tastes like cough syrup.   To that, I say “Mmm… cough syrup.”

If you travel abroad and love your Dr. Pepper, you may want to pack some in your suitcase.

You know what’s weird?  China didn’t have Popeye’s Chicken.  They love KFC, but didn’t have Popeye’s.  They’re all over Korea, but none could be found in China.  That struck me as odd.  I wonder if KFC has a monopoly over there or if Popeye’s has failed to see a new market opportunity.  You know what else would do good business in China?  Buffalo Wild Wings.

Mmm… chicken.
