2 Nice Sodas from Yesterday's Haul - 10/12/2008 8:30:46 AM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 902 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Here's two nice West Tenn bottles from yesterdays haul. Dr Pepper ACL (I Know I too have had a dozen truck loads ) but this is the only one I have seen with Memphis Tenn on it. I think this was short lived sometime in the 60's. The other is a Dodger beverage it has always been a hard one to get here for some reason. Attachment (1) _____________________________ McDirt Post #: 1

I always wondered that and never looked it up. Love all the stuff you found!!! Thanks!

RE: 10 2 and 4 - 10/12/2008 9:25:53 AM    celerycola   Posts: 54 Joined: 2/20/2004 From: Alabama Status: offline There was a Dr. Walter Eddy in the 1920's famous for a book on how people can keep their energy up during their day. He suggested that people would get an energy boost by having a sugary snack between meals at specific times when energy levels dropped: 10 am, 2 pm, and 4 pm. Dr. Pepper picked up on the idea and may have even paid Dr. Eddy for using it. (in reply to digger mcdirt) Post #: 4

MY FAMILY RAN A STORE IN THE 1950s AND I REMEMBER A CLOCK ON OUR KITCHEN WALL THAT HAD THE 10-2-4 ON IT WITH DR. PEPPER ON IT ALSO. WONDER WHAT THAT WOULD BE WORTH NOW? MAYBE $50-$100 MINT? _____________________________ I know You've got mountains that you think you cannot climb Your skies are dark You think the sun won't shine Case you don't know The WORD OF GOD is true!

Great clock! When did they stop using 10 2 4? Late 70s-early 80s? I remember going to see Cats on Broadway in the late 90s and all the old giant garbage was, I would guess, 1982 garbage. I remember Sugar Corn Pops and Sugar Smacks! Oh yes - the dump is a time capsule no matter how new or old!
