CAUTION: Cheesecake Factory Doesn't Serve Dr. Pepper

Just Visiting · Joined: 06 Jan 2008 Posts: 9

For Dr. Pepper drinkers out there, beware, the Cheesecake Factory
doesn't serve Dr. Pepper! In fact, the last time we were there and I
kindly asked for it, our waitress pulled an attitude when she said,
"No, we don't have Dr. Pepper." I then kindly asked for regular Coke
(which they do serve) and she gave me diet Coke! I don't really know
what her problem was but it was a bit uncomfortable for the rest of
the meal. Fortunately, we didn't have any issues for the rest of our
visit. So when you go the Cheesecake Factory, don't ask for Dr.
Pepper!

So bring a bottle of your own Dr. Pepper. I seriously doubt your
waitress or the manager will care.

Yes they are, but only in cans not on tap!

Man, ain't that something! A couple years ago I was taking a tour of the
Dr. Pepper bottling plant, and they had no Cheesecake Factory cheesecake
available!

As I pointed out to AZ Nomad, Wendy's serves Coke products and Dr.
Pepper, too.

Perhaps because Cheesecake Factory cheesecake isn't as mainstream as
Dr. Pepper.

I just checked. Dr. Pepper is listed in their Product List under the D
section.

Uhm, no Dr. Pepper is not a Coke Brand but they are licensed to bottle and
sell Dr. Pepper in some parts of the world. From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Pepper

[edit] Distribution
In the United States, Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) does not
have a complete network of bottlers and distributors, so the drink is
sometimes bottled under contract by Coca-Cola or Pepsi bottlers. Prior to
the initial Cadbury Schweppes investment-turned-buyout, 30% of Dr
Pepper/Seven Up products were produced and distributed by Pepsi bottlers,
and another 30% by Coca-Cola bottlers. The remaining 40% was produced and
distributed by independent bottlers (mainly consisting of pre-Dr
Pepper/Seven Up-merger regional bottlers) and the Dr Pepper/Seven Up
Bottling Group.

Presently, Dr Pepper is mostly reliant on the Cadbury Schweppes Bottling
Group (known as Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group until June, 2006) to
bottle and distribute its products in 30+ states. Coca-Cola and Pepsi have
essentially stopped bottling and distributing CSAB products in favor of
in-house alternatives, although regional exceptions can be found. It is
notable that Pepsi bottlers have been dropping Dr Pepper without an
equivalent replacement. Previously a Pepsi bottler without a Dr Pepper
franchise would typically bottle Dr. Wells, and Coke bottlers would make Mr.
Pibb.

In Canada and Poland, Cadbury-Schweppes has licensed distribution rights to
PepsiCo. In Mexico, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands,
Slovakia, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Norway,
Cadbury-Schweppes owns the trademark and distributes the product. In Spain,
Turkey, and Greece it is almost impossible to find as it is usually imported
from the United Kingdom in particular supermarkets. In almost all of the
other countries of the world, The Coca-Cola Company purchased the trademark
from Cadbury-Schweppes and distributes the product. This mixed worldwide
ownership of the trademark is due to antitrust regulations which prevented
Coca-Cola from purchasing the rights everywhere. Dr Pepper is also available
in Japan and South Korea. Although not locally bottled in New Zealand any
more, imported cans of Dr Pepper are often found in independent convenience
stores (dairies).

Great. Now the the original poster is going to be a confused whiner.

If you're undertain as to where to begin, a bit of swirling-tongue
action underneath the ol' frenulum is always a good choice.

Perhaps. But I, like the other poster, wants what they want, when and where
they want it. If not, righteous indignation naturally follows.

Cheesecake Factory Just some I went there for lunch, there was a short wait for the non smoking section. Seems like a lot of non smokers opted to sit in the smoking section rather than wait. The portions are too large!!! I had a "lunch size" Santa Fe Salad w

What to serve with Prime Rib? We're having Christmas dinner at our house, and I'm planning a prime rib. We'll be having about 10-11 adults and 3 (small) kids. I'll be doing mashed potatoes along with the rib, but I'm not sure what else to do with it as far as side dishes. I LOVE to

What is the traditional way to serve chicharones? I may have misspelled it but you know what I mean, those great big slabs of pork skin with meat. I usually just nuke them in the microwave and serve with some fresh corn tortillas, a home made chili pequin sauce and some garnishes... BTW fresh lime juice

do they serve penguins at your place? www.aiia.tk

I prefer restaurants that serve insects ! Yes, insects taste fantastic, especially fat blowflies !
