My drug of choice. Of which I consume low-calorie variants 95% of the time.

After most of a day of not drinking any caffeine, I decide to run to the store and get some. On that day, the store I frequent was closed. I had to go to their neighbor instead.

Both stores tend to have deals available. Typically there was a Coke deal and a Pepsi deal. But where does that leave the rest?

Of course, I'm talking about the products of the Dr. Pepper/7-Up company. Their products include the following: Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, A&W Rootbeer, and Sunkist.

Now, as far as I'm aware, for the most part, in the US at least, those extra sodas are lumped in with Coca-Cola products more often than not. The reason why being that Coke actually bottles the other's products in Coke's factories.

So basically, those extra sodas are a part of the Coke deal. Makes sense, right?

What happened next, my friends, left baffled and roaming the Soda Aisle like a dork for far longer than I should have.

There was a third deal. It read: "7-up, A&W, and Sunkist 12-packs on Sale 3/$12"

Okay, so they actually got their own deal this time. But what about Dr. Pepper?

Dr. Pepper, the makers of my favorite low-calorie soda, 'Dr. Pepper Ten,' was absent from the graphics of both deals. What was I do to? The Coke deal and the 7-Up deal were two seperate prices. If I wanted to have Coke Zero and Dr. Pepper Ten both, I might invalidate the sale.

Out of fear, I chose three Dr. Pepper products and made my way to the self checkout. Low and behold, the price of the Coke deal appeared on the screen.

In the end, only the Dr. Pepper snuck it's way into the Coke deal. I didn't quite understand why it was that way. Perhaps it was an error. But alas, I didn't care much in the end. See, I don't really drink 7-Up, A&W, or Sunkist.

Have a good day. Thank you for your time.

I assume it was partly based o colour, as a kid a friend's mum used to give me dandelion and burdock when I asked for coke. Which offer was better though?

Shit like that happens 'cause the employees are just guessing. Once when I was working nights in a grocery store, someone fucked up and had the Doritos ringing up for 30 cents instead of three dollars, so myself and some coworkers bought the fuck out of some Doritos. Manager told us not to get anymore because "you are technically stealing", we were all like "naw that's the system doing that, not our faults.

I don't even like doritos
