Reprise Loves: Dr Pepper

I'm a Pepper, as are most of my family members. My sweetie brought me home a 12 pack of Dr Pepper made with REAL sugar. Yummy! If that doesn't bring back memories of my childhood, I don't know what else will.

This is an old Dr Pepper advertisment from 1927. Dr Pepper was created in Waco, Texas in 1885 and, as such, is the oldest major soft drink brand in America. It is only natural that my family that has roots in Texas would be such a big fan of this soft drink. Happy 125 Birthday Dr Pepper! Are you a Pepper too?

Pause & Refresh

My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn (1644 - 1718)

To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.
Margaret Fairless Barber

To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.
Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)

You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.
Lydia M. Child

I love vintage signs! Here is a design I created for my Reprise Vintage shop using a photograph I took of a vintage soft drink sign.

How do you refresh and renew yourself?

Soda or Pop?

These two names seem to be used by people in different areas of the USA for soft drinks. My family has always called any soft drink soda. We are also "Peppers". Having family roots "deep in the heart of Texas" for many generations it is just natural that we would all love Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper was created in Waco, Texas in 1885 and that makes it the oldest major soft drink brand.

I created this retro design for my Reprise Vintage shop in honor of everybody's favorite iced cold bubbly beverage...be it soda or pop.

What is your favorite soft drink and do you call it soda or pop?
