I gladly admit it. I'm a Pepper. Aren't you a Pepper? Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too? Be a Pepper.
OK, anyone who didn't watch TV in the late 80s (and I think early 90s), may not remember this ad campaign, but I think about it every time I drink a Dr. Pepper, which is at least once a day. I try to keep it at a minimum. My junk food habit is bad enough without multiple sodas.
I have such a reputation for drinking Dr. Pepper, one of our company's ad reps gave me some Dr. Pepper lip gloss (she didn't want it.) Yes, yes. The lip gloss is a girly thing. I understand. But, I don't care, either.
Doesn't it make my lips look radiant? Yeah, I thought so, too.
But I'm more than a self-described Pepper. A Web site told me so. It's easy. You take a five-question test, and the site tells you what kind of soda you are. Or what your 80s theme song is. Or.... and it goes on and on. It's pretty cool.
The one problem, though, is it tells me to stay away from 7Up. No way, José. I love that, too. If you can't tell what my vice is by now, you haven't been paying attention.
| You Are Dr. Pepper |
 You're very unique and funky, yet you still have a bit of traditionalism to you.
People who like you think they have great taste... and they usually do.
Your best soda match: Root Beer
Stay away from: 7 Up |

This test is bogus, man...
It doesn't allow for non-conformists that consume mass quantities of that hard to find, but superior cola, RC, the "Crown" inn the cola-world.
Actually, I admit to drinking "Cherry" RC. The best of them all. That probably makes me a little strange, as well as non-conformist, but at least I'm not into lip gloss. Yeah, you radiate, all right!
Your test pegs me as a "Coke", says I closely match Mountain Dew and that I should stay away from Dr. Pepper.
A friendly word of advice, a new theory from the ol' Brainiac: "Drink all the Pepper you want, but stay away from their lip gloss!" (P=LG weird) |

Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
