I would have ordinarily passed over a report about Keurig Dr. Pepper acquiring JDE Peet’s. However, I decided to open the link since I just recently posted here about Peet’s becoming the coffee provider for Southwest Airlines. I noted in my own post that I had never opted to use my free Southwest Airlines drink on coffee, usually going for apple juice. However, I know that I have on one or two occasions on shorter flights taken the Dr. Pepper. For that reason, I was thinking about a quip about how Dr. Pepper is now Southwest Airlines’ coffee provider. Alas, the report from Tea and Coffee Trad Journal linked above noted that Keurig and Dr. Pepper would split into two companies, with Keurig joining Peet’s and Dr. Pepper focusing on the non-coffee side of things. Thus, my idea for a short post about a quip turned into a sport post about the quip that wasn’t.

(Aside: Not a fan of Keurig machine coffee but I would take it over lemonade coffee.)
