2. I used to have a source for the Dublin Dr. Pepper for about five years before the plant closed.

It was definitely a different taste with the sugar based soda compared to the HFCS.

I can get the various sodas from the Dublin soda plant at my local HEB, but they are more expensive compared to the regular soft drinks that are available.
