Pickles by Brian Crane for August 24, 2023

Watered down Dr. Pepper. No thank you.

I used to do about 10% OJ and the rest water. Now I do 1/3 powerade and the rest water.

Dr. Pepper? That’s just carbonated prune juice.

Preach it, Opal!

It gets boring with the first sip.

Probably the only thing she and I will agree on, water gets boring after a while.

You know he was thirsty when he drank without checking the bottle…

She’s a Pepper. He’s a Pepper. Soon, Roscoe will be a Pepper too.

I have been drinking 2 liters of plain Rain Soft filtered tap water for the past 20 years, I do not think that it is “boring”

I’m with Opal, but I use different flavors of MIO.

Flavored water! Didn’t we already go through that back in the 19th century?

Put some lemon juice and sugar in it!

I read it as “pepper” without the “Dr” until seeing the comments. Sounded interesting.

Mom drinks Dr Pepper like crazy. The docs have cut her off recently. They said she may have one every two weeks or so. She is 88 and in last stages of her life. We told her if she wants to drink her DP, she can have all she wants.

No, it doesn’t. Plain water tastes just fine.

I use lemon powder – Simple & NO calories…..

Sales of Seltzers have skyrocketed in last 5 years, along with the various flavors in which they are available.

Opal: BUSTED!

You just DON’T drink out of someone else’s water bottle! That’s rude and crude.

At least she didn’t spike it with vodka.

Indirect kiss.

If Earl is going to drink from Opal’s water bottle, he needs one of his own.

I prefer my water frozen, in a cube shape, surrounded by a generous amount of Jack and Coke.

I was expecting him to say it tasted like gin or vodka, but I guess Opal isn’t that exciting.

The little mix in packets are the best for me.

Dr. Pepper gives a little kick………..ain’t it!

That thing Earl is holding doesn’t look like a bottle.

“Don’t die to go to heaven; start in on Dr Pepper and end up on whisky!” — Jack Kerouac

Take 12 ounces of water and 12 ounces of Dr. Pepper. Throw the water on your house plants. Drink the Dr. Pepper. Enjoy your day.

Earl ……… I think that’s a “YES” ….. :)

And with the lid, very little of my dripping nose gets inside.

Dr. Pepper, the old folks – get it moving – prune drink…

Gin and tonic.

I did it once and I got told not to use any thing that could be added . Wish all doctors got on the same page …

Earl might get the kissing disease, Mono.

I like a little lemon juice in my water sometimes, or as a health drink, apple cider vinegar. My Dad felt the latter warded off colds. Maybe.

Pouring a teaspoon of fruit flavored liquid nutrient with 156 components in it..vitamin water !

I spike mine with a bit of Schweppes ginger ale.

I drink plain water while exercising, and in the afternoon when I’m teaching my class over Zoom (for morning class sessions, my main drink of choice is my thermos of cold black coffee). I don’t understand all the flavored water products that I see advertised; when I want to drink flavored water, the only thing I need to add to it is carbon dioxide.

I get such a kick out of folks that pay over $2.00 a bottle for just drinking water!! Hey! buy yourself some high priced…“Evian”, bottled water, and then saying it outloud… spell “Evian”, backwards!!??!
