I've been sipping Diet Dr. Pepper lately. And every time I do, I'm transported back to the summer of 1982 when I worked at Putt-Putt Golf in McPherson, Kansas and Eddie Grant's Electric Avenue ruled the charts.

I ran the counter where you select your ball color and putter. In addition, I sold grape and limeade slushies, candy bars, snack chips, and pops - including Dr. Pepper. Sure, in 2010 it's diet vs. regular, but with the new formula, you can't tell the difference. I'm just sayin'.
