Artist's Comments
This pony was commissioned by AeraCura, who wanted it to resemble Dr Pepper. There was a study done (I want to say in the early 1940s, but I'm not sure without looking it up again) that showed the human body's glucose levels are lowest at 10 am, 2pm, and 4pm. Dr Pepper used that info in their advertising, "Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2, and 4!" to encourage people to "Pepper upper" their blood sugar, and have it for a snack. All of their bottles had 10, 2, 4 on them (in the arrangement they'd be on a clock-face) for 50 years!
In fact, they even made clocks that said Dr Pepper, which had all the numbers, but with the 10 2 and 4 in bright red. For more info visit these links: [link] Vintage ads (at the bottom): [link] Dr Pepper© DPSU/Dr Pepper Inc. |

Diet soda is evil! ...by the way, what does the original Dr. Pepper taste like? We don't have it over here. Is it something like coke?
