I could not help myself. There was a place across the highway from my brother's out in Llano, Texas that had these in of all things, Dr Pepper Machine.
They even had Diet RC Cola. ( RC's diet cola was Diet Rite Cola for years and years...) They also had Crush Orange, Crush Grape, and Hire's Root Beer.
I WAS going to get a Dr. Pepper, but could not pass it up, and the price was right. 50¢. Yes, 50¢ was the cost of cold drinks from the machine.
At one time a RC Cola and a Moon Pie was popular for lunch in the South.....or as a snack. Part of it was the RC bottle was larger than Coke's or Pepsi's bottle.
Was not bad.
RC has changed their formula. Again.....And tasted very much like a Coca-Cola. ( Pepsi is still awful. I had one about 4 weeks ago.)
Anyway, it has been years since I had had an RC Cola. And out of a machine? I couldn't pass it up.
