Larry isn't a big soda drinker, but he does like Dr. Pepper. He was quite excited the first time he found Dr. Pepper in Budapest. Now you can find it at many gas stations and specialty stores, but it is typically only sold by the 20 oz bottle and is roughly $2 a bottle. Occasionally, he brings home a few, but not very often.
Last week, his fortune changed. He happened to see the Dr. Pepper truck driving around. He got the number off the truck and called the guy. Laci (pronounced Latsi) begin exchanging e-mails with us in broken English. Larry used his negotiating skills and today, we had 50 bottles of Dr Pepper delivered to our house. Mr. Laci threw in 2 cans for free.
So, fellow expats, if you get a craving for Dr. Pepper, we will make you a deal!
Well done, Larry! We totally want in the next time you negotiate with Laci. =)
ReplyDeleteNo need to wait... how many do you want? We paid 215/bottle and have no problem ordering more. He also says he can get root beer and cream soda...not sure what brands. In theory, he also has "less sugar" Dr Pepper which we're not sure if that is Diet or what it is... but regular DP already has less calories here (assuming due to no corn syrup). So seriously, if you want some, just let us know. Not a problem. They're packed in cases of 12 so they are easy to bring to work or whatever.
