Dr. Pepper is one of my favorite drinks. And like you might figure the 10 2 4 was an early marketing campaign that suggested those were the best times of the day to drink a Dr. Pepper. There is some great history reading about the creation of Dr. Pepper and the 1st Dr Pepper Bottling Company in Dublin Tx.

Soap on a rope? Everyone got one for Christmas at some point but did you really like this invention?

Asked By: Jammer in Fashion & Accessories - 121 days ago

answerdoctor's Answer

Another retro-gadget that was popular for awhile that really didn't make a lot of sense to me. I know Avon had them. I know that cause back then seems some woman on ever side of town sold Avon door to door. Don't know if you can still get soap on a rope or not but probably from some of those retro stores.

Recently a friend ask if I would be interested in going with her to get an aura photo and reading. I know little to nothing about this but seems this is some kind of hoax that started years ago. Somehow done with a special camera? Anyone remember or know anything about this type of psychic readings?

Asked By: summer in Religion & Spirituality - 123 days ago

answerdoctor's Answer

Yup it's true. A special type of camera is used to capture the energy surounding a person and then those color are related to specific traits. Or so I have read.

I need some idea about how to collect and use discount coupons. I go through periods of trying this but never seem to have them with me when I shop or end up buying things I don't need just because I have the coupon. How do people save money using these?

Asked By: susan in Other - Home & Garden - 124 days ago

answerdoctor's Answer

Coupon clipping is a hazzle. But when I was a kid that was a good way to make some extra spending money. Many stores would give you 1/2 of the face value for the coupons in cash. I know now they were probably not supposed to do that but when your 11 or 12 that was a great way to get extra cash.

Tricks are for kids. What does this statement refer to

Asked By: Maria in Advertising & Marketing - 144 days ago

answerdoctor's Answer

That was a big promotion for a fruit flavored breakfast cereal called TRIX. The main character was a rabbit who was always trying to trick the kids into giving him some TRIX. This commercial ran for a couple of years and pretty much ended with a big promo in which kids all around the country were to "vote" on whether or not the rabbit should get his portion of TRIX. Of course the results were that the rabbit would get some and so on live TV kids all across America got to see the rabbit get his TRIX

I would enjoy being young and going to another sock hop. I was one of those guys who only got up the courage to dance about the last song. Boy how much I missed. But I wasn't the only one. There was a lot of guys who wanted to dance just didn't have the courage to ask the girl.
