> What *does* the 10, 2, and 4 stand for?  I recall being implored to drink
> Dr. Pepper at 10, 2 and 4 ... but why?

Since these where the times an average factory worker takes his (her) breaks,
their old ad campaign seemed to imply drinking 3 a day.

(BTW this piece of trivia was passed to me from my father some 10 yrs ago)

10, 2 and 4 were supposed to be the time your blood sugar was low.  You were
supposed to drink a Dr. Pepper to "pep" you up.

(I hope Classic Coke makes it to Durham soon.  I don't seem to be able to drink
as much DP (my current substitute) as Old Coke.)
