THANK YOU to everyone who came to our Dog Days of Summer free day event this past Saturday! We had almost 1500 people attend which is CRAZINESS and we were so happy you were all there! We had many many fabulous locals as well as visitors from far away lands like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Utah. Collectively we went through almost 1200 donuts compliments of Shipley Do-Nut and I think almost everyone who came through got to try our crazy Dr Pepper flavor combinations.
We are SO grateful for all the support, and we hope this is just the first of many fun events we can offer in the future. If you have photos of you and your family at the event and want to share them with us please post them to our Flickr group DPM Dog Days.
Here are some pics of the fun times that were had by all!

The Taste-off
Today we had our 9th Flavored Dr Pepper Taste test. We tested several of the previous winning flavors against each other to see how they fared. These flavors were Vanilla, Mango, Peppermint and Cinnamon. Which one do you think won? We had a clear winner as you will see.
We had a total of 64 people who participated today. Along with our Texas visitors, we also had visitors from Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas.
42% of our participants were under 20 years of age and the rest were 21 and older.
52% of our participants chose Cinnamon Dr Pepper as their favorite. Over a quarter of our participants chose Mango Dr Pepper as their favorite and 22% chose Vanilla. Only 7% preferred Peppermint.
For those flavors chosen as the participants least favorite flavors, 39% did not like Peppermint, 36% did not like Mango, and Cinnamon and Vanilla both got 11% of votes of least favorite flavor today.
While 41% said they liked the original Dr Pepper over todays flavors, 23% said they liked Cinnamon Dr Pepper more then the regular Dr Pepper, 12.5% said they liked Vanilla Dr Pepper more than regular, another 12.5% said they liked Mango Dr Pepper more and 9.3% said they liked Peppermint.
Over half of today's visitors said they maybe would buy the flavored versions if offered, 39% said definitely they would buy them and 7.8% they definitely would not buy them.
56.25% would buy a Cinnamon Dr Pepper; 27% said they would buy a Vanilla Dr Pepper and another 27% would buy a Mango Dr Pepper while only 9.3% would buy a Peppermint Dr Pepper.
Our last taste test will be held during the Dog Days festivities held at the museum on August 22. Stay tuned for more details about this exciting event!!
