As you know, or maybe you don’t know, I am from Texas. There are things that are only understood by Texans and these things are held to be equal to the word of God. For example, Dr. Pepper – Texans have some kind of addiction to Dr. Pepper and chicken fried steak with cream gravy and I am also a victim to these addictions. Yes, I know, I am vegan, so to stay true to my Texas ways I have created a vegan version of chicken fried steak and cream gravy – but that is a completely different post. 
The purpose of this post is the top 10 Last meal request for people who were sitting on Texas death row list. Dr. Pepper to the end, seriously…

I am pretty speechless. Leave it to you to write this post!
I remember your love of Dr. Pepper. It’s strange to think of this as people’s last beverage.

Wonder what the big deal is about the last meal – where did this come from? The last request thing? Most asked for a meal so why not make it a last meal?
October 9th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
google pulled up this — In pre-modern Europe, the ritual of granting the condemned a last meal has its seeds in common superstition: a meal was a highly symbolic social act. Accepting food, which was offered freely, meant to make one’s peace with the host – the guest agreed tacitly to take an oath of truce and symbolically abjured all vengeance. Consequentially, in accepting the last meal the condemned was believed to forgive the executioner, the judge, and the witnessing mob. The ritual was supposed to prevent the delinquent from haunting those people, who were responsible for his or her killing, as a ghost or a revenant. The meal was therefore mainly a superstitious precaution and – following that logic – the better the food and the drinks, the safer the condemned’s oath of truce. Last meals were often public and all parties which were involved in the penal process took part.

As someone who’s been to the Dr Pepper museum in Waco, you do know that there’s no period (.) after Dr, right?
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:03 pm
oh damn, Catherine – you totally busted me!
I did know about the period, but I never catch myself when I write it.
I will not correct it in this post – just to prove to everyone that no matter how much you love Dr Pepper, there is someone out there who will always one up you.
Thanks for catching that.
*trying to redeem myself* Have you been to the Dr Pepper Museum in Dublin, Texas?

There is no purpose to feed someone who has killed someone for the last time.
interesting sites from around the world.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:20 pm

It’s wierd to think about what I’d pick if I were in that situation. I’d probly just ask for some Hot and Readys for Little Caesars.

How about a McDonald’s filet-o-fish (which is quite delicious due to the steamed bun)

July 6th, 2009 at 4:05 am
they should get a bowl of nothing, or maybe with the meal they have to have a picture or pictures of the victims (dead) placed in front of them. Their victims get no chicken or ribs or Dr. Pepper. Its bullshit.
July 14th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Dude, they’re are going to be dead in 24 hours anyway! WHO CARES WHAT THEY EAT?!?!
October 3rd, 2009 at 8:42 pm
holy crap, i’m drinking dr pepper right now
December 12th, 2009 at 12:23 am
I agree with giving them their choice of a last meal. Why? I think it shows our humanity towards them right up to the end when we could have just put a bullet in their head way back.
