lol well, here's the other odd piece of equipment (looks like an old presentation project): Satellite communications...
Annnd the old Dr. Pepper machine: Sweet sweet nectar *Corny facial expression warning*
Actually, my university (Baylor) is in Waco, TX where Dr. Pepper was invented. They have a contract for exclusivity...no soft drinks but Dr Pepper/7UP products on campus or university-sponsored events. Mmmm. We even have Dr. Pepper floats....

Oh, piffle. That's not old. Late '80s at the earliest. It's even got a dollar-eater. When you find one that has the little, locking door and a bottle-opener, then we'll talk. *heh*
For what it's worth, real Dr. Pepper is both my girlfriend's and my favourite fizzy. I order it by the case from the bottling plant in Dublin, TX -- the only one that refused to stop making it with sugar. They also make it with HFCS (bleck!) for the local markets, but do a brisk global business catering to people like me who hate what happened to fizzy in the late '80s/early '90s.
I now return you to your regularly-scheduled exploration of the X Files' prop warehouse. *heh*

Ahh, Dublin Dr. Pepper. You can actually get that in the Wal*Mart here in Waco. Burn. Also, when I first mentioned 'Dublin Dr. Pepper' to my mother, she said, "...you mean Guiness?"

Say has anyone tried that new Dr.Pepper with cherry and vanilla? I would try it myself but my mom says that type of soda is just diabetes in a can.

All I can find is Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. And even if I could find regular, it'd still have HFCS, which is evil -- much like Wal*Mart is evil and must be destroyed.
No, I prefer to add my own syrup to the good Dr. Pepper.
Now, if I could just get 7�up, Pepsi, Ctystal Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Jolt in their old, sugared versions, I'd be a truly happy camper.

I'm suspiciously pondering on whether to try the new Cappucino Pepsi they've just brought out here. I suspect it'll be horrible. Not a big fan of Pepsi anyway, although I did like the Max Twist they brought out here last year.
And we still don't get Mountain Dew in any other flavour than bog-standard original. I want Code Red! My headaches have really decreased in regularity since I stopped drinking as much Coke as I used to. I drink a lot more water now. Our new fridge has a water-dispenser in it. And I sit right next to the water-cooler at work.
Or in other words, the penicillin I got at age 5. So in further other words, the number one foolproof vomit-inducer flavor of mine.

Yes! We can't stand this non-headache-inducing beverage routine we currently live in, can we? This...zoo. It's the smell, if there is such a thing.

I'm curious, Lee... Is your "bog-standard" Dew made with sugar and nothing but? My memory of British fizzy drinks is that you don't use HFCS (not having an aggressive corn lobby to fuck things up). I think we may be able to work out a trade. Exchange care packages, if you will...
Oo, back to physics junk. How 'bout that EM spectrum, huh?

Dr. Pepper = rancid children's cough medicine. I tried it once when they first brough it to Australia. It was NOT nice.
HFCS? Hi-quality Foetal Calf Serum?
