This might be too spicey to publish publicly. but 3 decades ago, I bought a used RV from a fellow in Loma Linda, CA, the spiritual headquarters for Seventh Day Adventists, of which my friend was a lapsed member thereof. While he was finishing up some maintenance on the rig, we became acquainted, enough that he shared an SDA/Dr Pepper anecdote. It seems that there was a time when Adventists (who do not consume meat or caffeinated beverages) thought that Dr Pepper was carbonated prune juice, therefore a perfect substitute for Coke, etc. The myth persisted for some time before the gov required ingredient disclosures on the labeling.
