My dad was an over the road truck driver and sometimes I would get to go on a 2 day run. We would eat in truckstops and get a can of pop for the road. I always got Pepsi and he always got Dr. Pepper. I asked him for a drink of his Dr. Pepper once and he told me I couldn't drink it because it would make my teeth fall out. I believed him because he had a full set of dentures!!! I was 40 before I ever drank a Dr. Pepper and now it is my favorite pop and I drink it in honor of my daddy!! (Been gone 5 years now)
