Last night, word came down that the Dublin Dr Pepper bottling plant, in Dublin, Texas, would stop producing it’s Imperial Cane Sugar-sweetened elixir.
Sadly, it was true.
Today, I drove down to Erath County to talk to folks about what the loss of the iconic beverage would mean for the town, and it’s economic future.
