For the curious ones,
It’s called the Artesian Well.
Located next to the bottling machines is the well that provided water in the early years of Dr Pepper bottling. An underground aquifer of artesian water was the source. The water from the well was pumped to the third floor to be filtered and distilled, then it came back down to the first floor through hoses. In the 1920s the well was filled with broken bottles and forgotten until the restoration of the building in the 1980s. They excavated to the depth of 27 and a half feet, which is what you can see today.
I absolutely love this story about how capitalism removes all the resources, then when it’s no longer useful, just trashes the place.
That’s where Dr, Pepper’s Monster lives.
That’s where they keep the people they make Dr. Pepper out of. Don’t believe me? Where do you think those “I’m a Pepper” shirts came from?
I thought the fear hole was in a Denny’s?
Every time this has been posted, there’s always a comment explaining exactly why it’s there.
And seriously, how did “Jam” not see that covered hole in the floor and not go “Cool, an old well!”
Dr. Pepper is actually just some weird sludge they found in that hole. Once the sludge is gone, there will be no more Dr. Pepper to consume. And then things will get interesting.
Party with the Slurm worm!
