| Pro-Trump Burger Restaurant in Texas Draws Crowds of Locals and TouristsA pro-Trump burger joint founded by the son of immigrants and named in honor of the 45th president is drawing large crowds of locals and tourists. Roland Beainy, a second-generation Lebanese-American and huge admirer of former President Donald Trump, recently had his “Trump Burger” restaurant featured in the Houston Chronicle. The burger joint is located in Belleville, Texas, about an hour northwest of Houston. Beiny was born in Boston but moved to Lebanon when he was young before returning with his family to the U.S. in 2019, and he greatly appreciated the robust economy under Trump, having lived in a less prosperous country. “Being an immigrant from a place where everything is bad and you work for almost $200, you see somebody like him to support the country and get the economy doing better,” Beainy told the Chronicle. “Me being an entrepreneur, I appreciate what he did.” One year after moving back, Beainy founded Trump Burger, and it has been bringing in strong crowds from all over ever since. “I thought they’d be out of business after the elections, but you come here on the weekend, you see a big line of motorcycles, sports cars and antiques and Trump flags,” said Belleville resident Brian Hajek. “They’re all from out of town.” Belleville is located in Austin County, which went 78.7 percent for Trump in the most recent presidential election. Trump Burger’s menu features several tributes to the Trump family, such as the eight-ounce Trump Burger, the 12-ounce loaded Trump Tower Burger, and the First Lady Chicken Sandwich. The menu even jokingly features the “Biden Burger,” a one-ounce beef patty, with non-fresh lettuce and tomatoes on an old bun, all for the price of $50.99. https://www.breitbart.com/local/2022/08/01/pro-trump-burger-restaurant-texas-draws-crowds-locals-tourists/ |

| Way back then glass bottles were about the only way to get soda. It came in cans too but they were rare. You'd pay a 5 cent deposit on each bottle and then return the empties to the store to get the deposit back. Scrounging bottles from vacant lots and trash cans was a common way for kids to make some change for a comic book and a candy bar.
Strange how everything seemed to taste better back then. I always wondered if food is more bland now or if taste buds lose sensitivity as they age. It's probably both. |

| Last Place That Made Original Formula Dr Pepper/
Dr Pepper. It's an acquired taste, sometimes compared to carbonated prune juice by those who haven't yet acquired. It was invented in Texas in 1882, and has had a loyal following there ever since. Two museums -- one in Waco, and this one in Dublin -- tell the story of the drink once marketed as "Distinctively different."
Dublin bottling works. The world's oldest bottler of Dr Pepper is the Dublin Bottling Works, still in operation, and the only place jn the world that still uses cane sugar -- not corn syrup -- to sweeten it.
If this doesn't sound very exciting to you, then you're obviously not one of the Dr Pepper faithful who travel here from all over the U.S. just to stock up on cases of the original formula.
The machinery in the plant is so old and clunky that it can only use original vintage thick glass bottles, which is why it only operates one day a month.
Dr Pepper bottled here is regarded as something of an historic artifact. Those who merely crave a taste of the original need not worry; you can buy less-expensive original formula Dr Pepper, bottled elsewhere, in the gift shop.
Dr Pepper stuff. In front of the plant is a statue, "Sweet Inspirations." It depicts the plant's owner, Bill Kloster -- "Mr. Dr Pepper" -- offering a bottle to a pigtailed little girl.
Kloster believed in the original formula, and was the man responsible for keeping it here after every other bottler had gone over to the cheaper sweetener. When his wife told him that he was drinking too much cane sugar, he secretly had the regular Dr Pepper put into the diet bottles that he stocked in his home refrigerator. Kloster worked at Dublin Bottling Works for 67 years, from age 14 until the day he died in 1999, after a full day at the plant.
Being faithful to the past has had drawbacks for the Dublin Bottling Works. When parts break on its ancient assembly line, its workers have to fashion new ones themselves. It stood still on the day that we visited. Long rows of bottled Dr Pepper sat silently on the production line, baking in the Texas sun pouring through dusty windows.
